PORTS OF CALL
Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles is not a city to be seen, but a collection of distinct worlds to be experienced. Arriving at the port in San Pedro, the first and most critical piece of advice is to accept the city’s immense scale. A successful day in L.A. requires a focused plan, as its infamous traffic makes trying to do everything an exercise in frustration. We recommend choosing one or two neighborhoods that align with your interests and exploring them deeply.
For a day of world-class culture, head north to the Getty Center. Perched in the Santa Monica Mountains, its stunning architecture, tranquil gardens, and panoramic city views are as compelling as the impressive art collection within. Alternatively, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Museum Row offers a vast collection, with the iconic “Urban Light” installation providing a quintessential L.A. photo opportunity.
If classic Hollywood is the goal, a pre-booked tour or dedicated rideshare is the most efficient way to navigate the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and the surrounding landmarks. While undeniably tourist-focused, it’s a pilgrimage many feel they must make. For a more relaxed and scenic day, the coastal communities of Santa Monica and Venice offer a classic Southern California experience. Rent a bike and cruise the path between the lively Santa Monica Pier and the bohemian spectacle of the Venice Boardwalk, with its street performers, artists, and eclectic shops.
Closer to the port, Long Beach presents more manageable options, including the impressive Aquarium of the Pacific and the historic Queen Mary. Whatever you choose, planning is paramount. L.A. rewards the prepared visitor with an incredible diversity of art, food, and culture.
At Sea - Cruising
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo San Lucas sits at the dramatic meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, a landscape defined by arid desert and striking rock formations. The indisputable focal point is Land's End, where the iconic stone arch, El Arco, rises from the sea. A short boat or water taxi ride from the marina is essential for close-up views, a visit to the sea lion colony, and a stop at the aptly named Lover's Beach, a secluded strip of sand accessible only by water.
Back ashore, the town itself is a high-energy hub of activity. As a tender port, you'll arrive near a bustling marina lined with lively restaurants and bars, creating a festive, and at times boisterous, atmosphere. This is the heart of Cabo's famous party scene, fueled by tequila and fresh seafood. Medano Beach, the main swimming beach, continues this energetic vibe.
Beyond the social scene, the region offers genuine natural wonders. The Sea of Cortez, famously dubbed the 'Aquarium of the World,' provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving. From December to April, the waters become a major migration route for humpback whales, and viewing tours are a popular and rewarding excursion. Sportfishing is also a cornerstone of the local identity, with many charters available.
For those seeking a quieter, more artistic experience, a taxi ride to the neighboring town of San José del Cabo offers a different pace. Its historic downtown features charming colonial architecture, sophisticated art galleries, and a more relaxed ambiance, providing a welcome contrast to the energy of Cabo San Lucas.
