Koningsdam: 10-Night Cruise 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 Mazatlan, 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. The Malecon is one of the longest seaside promenades in the world, offering scenic views of the Pacific, sculptures, and local vendors.

Your cruise ends in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where the Koningsdam is scheduled to dock at 8:00 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. Visitors can enjoy the beaches and seaside promenades, explore art galleries and local markets, and sample regional cuisine.

Your cruise departs from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on the Koningsdam, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Cash is recommended for small purchases, and swimwear is recommended for beaches and boat trips.
