Tidepool Drift – Pacific Coast Currents

About this cruise

A 11-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 Vancouver on October 3, 2027 and visits San Diego, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. You wind up in San Diego, so it's worth planning a night or two there. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. Zip-lining, beach tacos, and water warm enough that you don't think twice about jumping in. Cabo San Lucas stands out. It's Where the desert kisses the sea. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Zaandam takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
