Neptune's Divide – Mazatlan, Panama & Aruba

About this cruise

If you've got 16 nights to work with, this sailing from Los Angeles on October 10, 2027 through Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Panama City, Panama Canal, Oranjestad and Port Canaveral is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You get off in Port Canaveral, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Mexico, Panama, Aruba and United States. Don't rush through Port Canaveral, which is known as Rocket launches and sun-soaked shores. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Star Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 6 ports across 16 nights covers a lot.
