California Cruise from San Diego — 8 Days
7 nights · California · Departs San Diego (USA) · Visiting La Paz, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada · Aboard Royal Caribbean on the Serenade Of The Seas

-
Day 1
San Diego, USA
San Diego makes an easy first impression: a working harbor, sunlit waterfront and Pacific air. From the cruise terminal, the USS Midway Museum and lively Embarcadero are close at hand. Balboa Park brings world-class museums, gardens and the San Diego Zoo together in one grand setting. In the Gaslamp Quarter, Victorian façades frame restaurants and bars. Nearby neighborhoods reveal Mexican heritage and coastal ease.
-
Day 4
La Paz, Mexico
La Paz, capital of Baja California Sur, faces the Sea of Cortez, where desert hills meet clear, island-dotted water. Along the Malecón, cafés and galleries offer an easy introduction to this relaxed Mexican city. Nearby Balandra is famed for pale sand and shallow turquoise bays; access is regulated to protect its fragile landscape. In season, guided trips may bring close encounters with whale sharks in the bay.
-
Day 5
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo San Lucas sits at the tip of Baja California Sur, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. Cruise ships anchor offshore, and tenders bring you to a lively marina lined with cafés, fishing boats and shops. From the marina, water taxis reach El Arco, the sculpted granite landmark at Land’s End. Beyond it, beaches and desert trails reveal a quieter side of Cabo. Choose a boat trip, fresh seafood or a day in the sun.
-
Day 7
Ensenada, Mexico
Ensenada is Baja California’s lively Pacific port, where fresh seafood and celebrated wine country meet. Downtown cafés, market stalls and the history museum are close to the waterfront. Order fish tacos, a local specialty, or travel inland to Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico’s leading wine region. Taste among the vineyards, or head south to La Bufadora, a marine blowhole famed for its spray. Ensenada rewards a day planned around one good meal, one glass and the coast.
