If your cruise is sailing out of Long Beach, welcome to the West Coast’s laid-back launchpad—where the ocean breeze hits different and the chill vibes start long before you board. This city is SoCal sunshine, waterfront cool, and palm-lined views that practically demand a frozen drink in hand.

Before embarkation, wander through Shoreline Village for colorful shops and coastal bites, snap photos by the historic Queen Mary, or soak up that iconic California glow at Junipero Beach. Feeling artsy? Explore the murals and indie galleries in the East Village Arts District. Got extra time? Hop over to Belmont Shore for boutique strolling and beach-town charm, or take a harbor cruise past playful sea lions and bobbing sailboats.

The Long Beach Cruise Terminal sits right on the water next to downtown, making it super easy to add a little SoCal magic before or after your getaway. Because here, the vacation doesn’t start when you sail away—it starts the moment you smell that salty Pacific air. 🌴✨

Let the Miami Vice flow!

10:00am-6:00pm

This port is all about sparkling turquoise water, dramatic desert-meets-ocean landscapes, and an energy that practically yells, “Vacation mode: ON.”

Start with a boat ride to El Arco, the legendary rock formation you’ve seen on every postcard—because yes, it’s that stunning in real life. Then wander Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach (no judgment on which one fits your vibe), or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay, where the fish are friendlier than half the people you know.

Craving a lively afternoon? Hit Medano Beach for tacos, margaritas, and beach clubs that know how to party. Want something quieter? Explore local boutiques, try an authentic seafood feast, or head inland for an ATV or camel ride through Baja’s desert landscapes.

Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, Cabo brings the heat. Because in this port, the vacation doesn’t continue—it levels up. ☀️🌊🌵

7:00am - 4:00pm

When your cruise drops anchor in Cabo San Lucas, you’re stepping into a world where the Pacific sparkles like a disco ball and every moment feels like it was pulled from a travel magazine. Cabo is equal parts luxury escape, ocean adventure hub, and sun-soaked fiesta—and you get to sample it all in one perfect stop.

Begin your day cruising along the coastline, where rugged cliffs plunge into deep blue waters and sea lions lounge like they own the place (because honestly, they do). Glide past Land’s End and savor the surreal sight of El Arco, nature’s most photogenic masterpiece.

Prefer to unwind? Cabo’s got you. Stretch out on powdery sand at Chileno Beach, sip something icy with your toes in the water, or drift through a snorkel spot so clear you’ll swear someone cleaned the ocean just for you. Feeling bold? Cabo delivers with parasailing, jet skis, glass-bottom boats, and excursions that turn “just another port day” into “best day of the trip.”

As you wander back toward the marina—lined with restaurants, shops, and the promise of one more margarita—you’ll realize Cabo isn’t just a stop on the itinerary. It’s the kind of place you’ll wish was the whole cruise. 🌞🛥️🌴.

8:00 am - 5:00 pm

A Fun Day at Sea is your excuse to do everything—or absolutely nothing. Lounge by the pool, chase the horizon with a cocktail, try new eats, catch a show, or explore every corner of the ship. Today, the ocean is your playground.

8:00am-5:00pm

When your cruise docks in Ensenada, Mexico, get ready for a day packed with flavors, culture, and coastal charm. Stroll the bustling waterfront, sip fresh margaritas, and browse vibrant markets filled with crafts and souvenirs. Feeling adventurous? Head to La Bufadora, one of the world’s largest marine geysers, and watch the ocean put on a show. From tacos to tequila tastings to scenic ocean views, Ensenada is the perfect blend of fun and authentic Baja flair

9:00 am

Debarkation Day in Long Beach hits different—mostly because it feels like the ship is gently nudging you out and saying, “Sweetie… you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.” You’ll shuffle off with your luggage, your leftover towel-animal guilt, and the sinking realization that no one on land will bring you free pizza at 1 a.m.

But hey, Long Beach softens the blow. The palm trees wave like supportive friends, the Queen Mary gives you a sympathetic nod, and the ocean whispers, “You’ll be back.” Grab one last SoCal selfie, breathe in that Pacific breeze, and try not to cry as you remember you now have to make your own bed again.

It’s farewell for now—but don’t worry. The sea knows you’ll come running back the moment you can.
