Pacific Sun-Drenched Run – Cabo & Mazatlán

About this cruise

You sail from Los Angeles on October 17, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Cabo's beaches at one end, jungle-backed Central American ports at the other. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliant Lady launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
