Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Ruby Princess. Sailing from San Francisco toward Puerto Vallarta.
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.
One Antigua activity with a separately arranged full road return.
Puerto Quetzal is Guatemala's main Pacific port, and the colonial city of Antigua Guatemala, UNESCO-listed and ringed by volcanoes, is the usual day trip. Lake Atitlán and Mayan sites are longer options.
