Tidal Pulse – Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles

About this cruise

You board in Los Angeles on October 25, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Cabo's beaches at one end, jungle-backed Central American ports at the other. Don't rush through Puerto Vallarta, which is known as Cobblestone streets, Pacific sunsets. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Encore. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 13 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
