    DESTINATIONS
    There is an extensive selection of shore excursions at each port.
    San Diego, California :
    Sunshine and fun are business as usual in San Diego. Walk on Coronado Island's sandy beach, take in the Old Town that brings the city's early Spanish days to life, have a wild time at the famous San Diego Zoo or a whale of a good time at Sea World.

    Sample shore excursions: San Diego Tour. Arrive a couple of days earlier and enjoy this beautiful city and its many activities and attractions.


    Mazatlan, Mexico :
    Home of the largest shrimp fleet in the world, this cosmopolitan resort city tempts with every variation of this tasty crustacean: grilled, al mojo de ajo (with garlic), or in the shell with a tangy squeeze of lime. Other temptations: miles of uninterrupted sandy beaches, busy markets, and sleepy mining towns tucked into the Sierra Madre.

    Sample shore excursions: Deluxe City Tour with Papantla Fliers; Old Mazatlan Walking Tour; Deer Island Kayak; Sierra Madre; Concordia & Copala.

    Group Activity. We have had a fun experience with Randi's Happy Horses on a previous cruise and have arranged for a group excurion for those interested. Please visit their website by clicking here. Please email us if you would like to join our group.


    Puerto Vallarta, Mexico :
    No longer the well-kept secret of the artists, writers and Hollywood stars who first "discovered" it in the 1960s, "PV" (as it is affectionately known) still retains the essence of the quaint fishing village it once was. Here is Viejo Vallarta, the quaint Old Town, An enticing mix of red-tiled buildings, cobbled streets, chic shops and bustling open markets. Here are Mismaloya Beach, Gringo Gulch and Conchas Chinas, the Beverly Hills of Vallarta. Nearby: the rugged canyons and luxuriant jungles of the Sierra Madre.

    Sample shore excursions: Countryside on horseback, Dolphin encounter; Town, Country & Tequila; Sea Lion Encounter; Eco-safari Off-road Adventure; Canopy Adventure.


    Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
    At the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the blue Pacific mingles with the Sea of Cortez in a whirl of watercolors. Even more spectacular: waters teeming with marlin, swordfish, sailfish, tuna and other fighting fish. Feast your eyes on exquisite black coral; take in the annual migration of the gray whale.

    Sample shore excursions: Deluxe Coastal Cruise & Whale Watch; Half-day Sportfishing Adventure; Sea Kayak & Snorkel Adventure; Beach Horseback Ride.
