Ochre Cliff – Cabo San Lucas & Mazatlán

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Los Angeles on January 2, 2027 and visits Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Panorama, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
