Ocean Discovery – Los Angeles, San Diego & Cabo San Lucas
About this cruise
You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 15 nights from Los Angeles on October 2, 2026, visiting San Diego, Cabo San Lucas and Puntarenas, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You finish in Miami. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Los Angeles, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. Puntarenas alone is worth the trip, Costa Rica's Pacific coast of cloud forests and volcanoes. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Poesia has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. 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. Worth booking. That's the short version.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
