Easygoing San Diego embodies the Southern California surfer town fantasy, with its more than 300 days of sun, mild year-round temperatures and accessible, sporty pastimes and tourist attractions. The sixth-largest city in the United States, it’s a perfect place to begin your cruise. Visit Hillcrest, the gay mecca of San Diego. Or stroll through the Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy. Spend the day at the beach—Coronado, Mission, or La Jolla are amongst the most popular. With inventive new restaurants and a large craft-brewing industry, there is so much to explore!

We will offer a host hotel in San Diego so that you can arrive early. Information will be available approximately 9 months prior to the cruise.

Puerto Vallarta, one of the most gay-friendly cities in Mexico, is a must-see! Squeezed in between Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre mountains, “PV” (to the locals), is a mix of classic and modern Mexican charm. Stroll along The Malecon to shop for local artisan crafts, visit art galleries, view the ambitious public art project, or dine in a trendy restaurant. Pick from a wide range of excursions such as Marietas Islands Snorkeling, Las Caletas Beach & Snorkel or the Best of Puerto Vallarta, including a stop at a tequila factory.

Sail to the port city of Mazatlán, where the best of traditional Mexican architecture, food, beaches, music and culture is found. From golfing, fishing and zip lining to sampling agave-based spirits on a distillery tour or learning more about local history at the archaeological museum, the list of things to do is large. Be sure to indulge in some of the local cuisine where seafood is freshly caught, and shrimp-based dishes are a specialty. Book an excursion such as Mini-Speedboat & Beach Escape, Estuaries & Bird Watching Expedition or Huana Coa Canopy Adventure.

Sail to sun-drenched Cabo, where the desert meets the sea. Diving, snorkeling, golfing, and world-class fishing are amongst favorite things to do. Visit picture-perfect El Arco, Land’s End or Lovers Beach. And if you’ve worked up an appetite, Cabo offers exquisite cuisine with farm-fresh fruits and vegetables and of course, fresh seafood. Try one of the many excursions such as Cabo by Land and Sea, Luxury Day Sailing, Cabo Coastal Cruise: The Arch, Lovers Beach & Sea Lion Colony.
