Steel Blue – Cabo San Lucas & Mazatlan
About this cruise
7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Los Angeles on November 22, 2026 visits Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta and doesn't try to cram in too much. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. 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. Norwegian Encore takes the food seriously, with 20 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
