Ports of Call
San Diego, CA
Sunshine and fun are business as usual in San Diego. Walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the elegant streets-capes of the historic district, have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo or a whale of a good time at Sea World.
Cruising the Pacific Ocean
The grand-daddy of the oceans, the Pacific is as broad as it is tall, sliced and diced by the Equator, the Date Line, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes meet at Land's End, Cabo San Lucas sits on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Sun and sand are big here, but the fish are even bigger. Marlin, sailfish, tuna and billfish all abound in these rich waters.
Mazatlan, Mexico
Mazatlan is the home of Mexico's largest shrimp fleet and numerous beachside restaurants specializing in this tasty creature, and the price of the day depends on your powers of persuasion. Explore the colonial villages of the Sierra Madres and hold your breath as you watch the Papantla Flyers work their acrobatic magic.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
The quintessential Mexican resort, "PV" is the darling of the Riviera. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with chic boutiques and galleries. Explore the bustling City Market. Or while away the afternoon on a white sand beach.
Accommodations will be provided in an Inside Cabin for two people.
