Cabo San Lucas
Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the
San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression,
creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific
meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas - or "Cabo" - is one of the premier resort destinations in
the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax
on one of the white-sand beaches or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world.
Note: Your ship will anchor in Cabo San Lucas and use launches to transport all passengers
ashore.
Points of Interest
• El Arco (the Arch) & Lover's Beach
This majestic rock formation, carved by the ocean currents, is the most recognized landmark in
Cabo San Lucas. Located at Land's End, around the corner from Lover's Beach, it is a haven for
sea lions.
• San José del Cabo
Stroll through the historical center of San Jose del Cabo and immerse yourself in the Spanish
colonial character and charm preserved in the 18th-century architecture and cultural traditions.
• Médano Beach
Cabo's most popular beach and main swimming area, Medano encompasses the east side of the
harbor. An abundance of water sports, restaurants and street vendors add lively local color.
• Todos Santos
Located on the southern Baja Peninsula, this charming paradise lies between the desert and the
Sierra Laguna mountain range. Quaint village life, abundant agriculture, and miles of unspoiled
beaches abound.
• Snorkeling
Offering some of the best snorkeling in the Mexican Riviera, Cabo San Lucas is a marine
sanctuary that's home to a wide variety of colorful, thriving sea life just waiting to be encountered.
• Dolphin Encounter
Interact and ride through the water with the friendly dolphins at the renowned Cabo Dolphin
Center. Educational encounters for kids include feeding, hugging and kissing these magical
creatures.
• Whale Watching
Naturalist guides lead you on an adventure in search of the gray whale as it navigates the waters
from Alaska to the Sea of Cortez on the longest migration of any mammal.
• Outdoor Adventure
Enjoy the scenery as your horse gently strolls upon the sand, soar through the canyons on a
zipline tour, race through the water aboard a thrilling yacht or off-road through Mexico's rugged
interior
Mazatlan
Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a
name that means "Place of the Deer," sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre,
and the Cerro de Neveria - "Ice Box Hill" - divides the area's rocky Pacific beaches from the broad,
white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class
sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world's top resort destinations.
Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the
famed Papantla dancers, Mazatlan remains one of Mexico's major Pacific ports - the city exports
over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year.
Points of Interest
• Cathedral Basilica & Plaza Revolución
Admire the Moorish and Gothic architecture at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate
Conception, then head across the way to the popular Plaza Revolución with its charming gazebo
and street vendors.

The Italian-style theatre, a national landmark loving restored to its 19th-century splendor, is home
to a concert hall, galleries, an art school and a highly regarded conservatory of music and dance.

premium brews.

High-flying divers perform acrobatic and dangerous plunges into rocky surf from a 59-foot high
ledge.
• Copala-Concordia
In the lush Sierra Madre foothills, the twin colonial towns are reminiscent of yesteryear as artisans

• Outdoor Adventure
From hiking to sportfishing to ziplining through the treetops, Mazatlan offers exciting adventures
outdoors to suit anyone's style.
Peurto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta was sleepy no more; its transformation into an international resort had begun.
Then director John Huston chose the village as the location for his film "Night of the Iguana,"
starring Richard Burton. Today, the city has its own "Gringo Gulch," a haunt of the rich and
famous. Travelers are also drawn by its climate, its excellent shopping - which offers great values
on leather goods, jewelry, and handicrafts - and mile after mile of palm-lined beaches.
Points of Interest
• The Malecon
The city's popular boardwalk by the beach is lined with shops, restaurants and artists selling their
wares. Begin your stroll at the Los Milenos sculpture by Mathis Lidice and head southward.
• Las Caletas

countryside by powerful ATV, or go kayaking and snorkeling in the warm waters of Puerto Vallarta.
Los Angeles
The City of Angels always hovers between dream and reality. Once a near-forgotten colonial
outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie
colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century,
from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the "dream machine."
In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic
diversity and a sizzling culture. LA is the source for trends that migrate across the country and
then the world. Where else can you enjoy a Thai taco or munch on a kosher burrito? Or travel from
downtown's high rises to the beaches of Malibu, shopping in Beverly Hills along the way?
Los Angeles is a port of embarkation and disembarkation for some cruises.
