Sunlit Red Rocks – Loreto, Mazatlán & Cabo

About this cruise

Block out 13 nights from April 4, 2027 and let this sailing from San Diego do its thing. The route covers Cabo San Lucas, Loreto and Guaymas, with additional stops along the Mexican Riviera & Central America and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Mayan ruins, colourful markets, and Pacific sunsets. The Mexican Riviera earns its repeat visitors. Of the stops, Puerto Vallarta tends to be the one people talk about: Cobblestone streets, Pacific sunsets. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Zaandam has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. San Diego itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
