Selected day

Day 1 & Day 8

Los Angeles

United States · Embarkation & return

San Pedro harbor paths, maritime history, a battleship.

Los Angeles sails from the World Cruise Center at San Pedro, in the harbour south of the city, not from anywhere near the parts of Los Angeles people picture. It is about forty minutes from the airport with no traffic and considerably more with it. Mexican Riviera itineraries and repositioning sailings leave from here.

Ways to spend your day

  • San Pedro Downtown Harbor

    Enjoy the public harbor setting and paths available on your visit date.

  • Los Angeles Maritime Museum

    Explore available indoor exhibits in San Pedro.

  • Battleship IOWA

    Choose the general-admission experience and spaces suited to your access needs.

Day 3

Cabo San Lucas

Mexico

Marina views, natural history, Médano’s shore.

Cabo San Lucas is a tender port: ships anchor off the point and boats run into the marina, which puts you in the middle of the town. El Arco, the rock arch at land's end, is a short water taxi and the thing everyone photographs.

Ways to spend your day

  • Cabo San Lucas marina

    Enjoy a selected public marina-side section.

  • Museo de Historia Natural de Cabo San Lucas

    Choose available natural-history and regional-history exhibits.

  • Playa El Médano

    Enjoy a selected beach section without adding a water excursion.

Day 4

Mazatlán

Mexico

Machado plaza, archaeology, Pacific views.

Mazatlán docks in a working commercial port a short ride from the restored Centro Histórico, which is the part worth seeing and is often skipped for the beach strip. The malecón is one of the longest seafront promenades in the Americas.

Ways to spend your day

  • Plazuela Machado

    Choose the plaza and its surrounding historic streets.

  • Museo Arqueológico de Mazatlán

    Explore selected open galleries of regional archaeology.

  • Paseo Olas Altas

    Choose a manageable public waterfront section.

Day 5

Puerto Vallarta

Mexico

Waterfront sculptures, naval history, riverside paths.

Puerto Vallarta docks north of the old town, so the Malecón, the sculptures and the Zona Romántica are a short taxi rather than a walk. The jungle and the beaches south at Yelapa are boat rides, and the town itself is the easiest Mexican Riviera call to enjoy without booking anything.

Ways to spend your day

  • Puerto Vallarta Malecón

    Choose a manageable section of the town’s waterfront promenade.

  • Museo Histórico Naval de Puerto Vallarta

    Explore selected open naval-history galleries.

  • Cuale River Island

    Choose a manageable public section of the island.
