Malachite Mirror – La Paz & Puerto Vallarta

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Los Angeles on March 27, 2027 visits Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Cabo San Lucas, Where the desert kisses the sea. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Panorama keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Los Angeles before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
