Salted Rim – Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Los Angeles on March 15, 2026 visits Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. People come back from this cruise talking about Cabo San Lucas: Where the desert kisses the sea. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Bliss takes the food seriously, with 18 restaurants to choose from. 7 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. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
