Ocean Discovery – Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas & Puerto Quetzal
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 17-night sailing from Los Angeles on October 29, 2026 visits Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Cartagena and Miami. The sailing ends in Miami. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 5 countries along the Mexican Riviera & Central America coast: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia and United States. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliant Lady (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. 17 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 17-night sailing is a strong place to start.
