Gilded Shore – Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Los Angeles on April 8, 2028 and visits Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Panorama has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
