Ember Skies – Mazatlan & Vallarta

About this cruise

This one leaves Los Angeles on December 24, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Navigator Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
