Koningsdam: 11-Night from San Diego - October 20, 2026

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Manzanillo, Mexico, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 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. Playa Miramar is the main beach in Manzanillo, offering soft sand, calm waters, and nearby cafés.

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 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.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Pichilingue (La Paz), Mexico, from 7:00 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. Visitors can explore La Paz's cultural sites, sample regional cuisine, or venture on day trips to nearby islands, nature reserves, and hidden coves.

The Koningsdam will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Loreto, Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Founded in the late 17th century, Mission Loreto is a beautifully preserved colonial church in the town center.

With 5 hours hours in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and the Koningsdam carrying over 2,000 passengers, time and transportation will be tight. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the best move - priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return to the ship. Don't leave this to chance. A short ride away, San Jose del Cabo offers a quieter, more traditional feel.

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.
