Pacific Riviera Escape – Cabo, Mazatlán & Puerto Vallarta

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Los Angeles on December 5, 2026 visits Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. Puerto Vallarta alone is worth the trip, Cobblestone streets, Pacific sunsets. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Discovery Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Worth booking. That's the short version.
