12 Night Cruise sailing from Puerto Caldera to Los Angeles aboard Crystal Serenity.
This journey celebrated the arrival of 2026 in style. Casting off from Caldera, Costa Rica, you’ll enjoy a New Year at sea. Huatulco’s nine pristine bays are next, then Manzanillo, famous for its Sea of Cortez pirate history. A sea day is next before sailing into Baja California, with calls in La Paz, Cabo San Luca, and Bahia Magdalena. Spend an afternoon exploring the Isla Natividad before hopping back on board and sailing to Los Angeles.
Highlights of this cruise:
Puerto Caldera
Explore Caldera, Costa Rica’s bustling port town, nestled between verdant rainforests and the dazzling Pacific Ocean, offering a gateway to adventure, culture, and breathtaking natural wonders. Find your Zen in one of Latin America’s most peaceful and relaxing countries. In Caldera, say hello to friendly locals while absorbing the superb scenery and irresistible weather and cuisine.
Huatulco
Nestled along the sun-drenched Pacific coast, Santa María Huatulco enchants its nine pristine bays, golden-sand beaches, and vibrant local culture, inviting you to uncover the treasures of this Mexican paradise. While Acapulco is Mexico’s oldest resort, Huatulco is its newest. Carefully planned and developed by Mexico’s tourism department, Huatulco has it all, including ecotourism attractions such as river rafting, rappelling and jungle trail hiking as well as an 18-hole golf course and some of the best resort hotels on the southern coast. The area encompasses nine pristine bays, 36 beaches, and innumerable isolated coves; over 40,000 of its acres have been set aside as ecological preserve.
La Paz
Cradled between the stark sands of Baja and the fertile waters of the Sea of Cortez, La Paz offers a host of challenging opportunities. Dubbed “the World`s largest fish trap,” the area is home to over 800 species of fish and 2,000 species of invertebrates. Giant manta rays and whales navigate the depths while dolphins and sea lions frolic on the surface. Deep sea fishing, diving and sightseeing boats are available for charters.
Los Angeles
Marvel in the sunshine, majestic palm trees and the sandy beaches of the Pacific that share the spotlight with LA`s glamorous movie industry and world-famous celebrities.
With an industry-leading space to guest ratio across an array of social areas, crystal serenity offers the utmost comfort, quality, personalisation and choice.
