Sunlit Swell – Cabo & Acajutla

About this cruise

A 16-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves San Diego on December 23, 2027 and visits Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, Manzanillo and Acapulco. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. Of the stops, Cabo San Lucas tends to be the one people talk about: Where the desert kisses the sea. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Koningsdam has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. San Diego itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
