Sun-Kissed Mexican Riviera – Puerto Vallarta & Cabo

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Los Angeles on December 19, 2027 and visits Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Legend takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Los Angeles has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
