Marlin Run – Cabo San Lucas & Ensenada

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 6-night sailing from Los Angeles on October 18, 2026 visits Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. People come back from this cruise talking about Cabo San Lucas: Where the desert kisses the sea. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Panorama, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
