Mexican Riviera Escape – Cabo, Mazatlán & Puerto Vallarta

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Los Angeles on December 20, 2026 visits Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Cabo's beaches at one end, jungle-backed Central American ports at the other. Mazatlan alone is worth the trip, Colonial centro meets Pacific surf. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 20 restaurants on Norwegian Encore, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Worth booking. That's the short version.
