Koningsdam: 10-Night from San Diego - November 28, 2026

Arriving in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at 11:00 AM with only 7 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Many visitors explore on foot around the marina and nearby beaches.

The Koningsdam will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Pichilingue (La Paz), Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. A short drive from Pichilingue, the Malecon is a scenic waterfront promenade in La Paz lined with sculptures, cafes, and parks.

Your ship arrives in Loreto, Mexico at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Wear sun protection and comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and outdoor excursions.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Mazatlan, Mexico, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Cafes and small eateries along the path make for convenient stops to taste local flavors.

The Koningsdam will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Malecón is Puerto Vallarta's iconic waterfront promenade.

Your cruise ends in San Diego, California, where the Koningsdam is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Many highlights are walkable from the port, including the waterfront, parks, and dining areas.
