New Year's on the Mexican Riviera with Crystal Cruises

9-Nights aboard the Crystal Serenity

12/30/26 - 1/8/27

 

 

Ring in the New Year in style—no flights required... (from San Diego)

Step aboard the newly reimagined Crystal Serenity, departing right from San Diego, and cruise into 2027 wrapped in luxury.
This Baja Peninsula voyage is tailor-made for those who crave indulgence, adventure, and effortless elegance.

Ease into the rhythm of the sea with two serene days onboard, where your personal butler, Michelin-inspired dining, and open bars set the tone.
And on the first sea day—New Year’s Eve itself—the ship comes alive with a glamorous celebration at sea.
Picture an elegant evening of music, dancing, champagne toasts, all under the stars without lifting a finger!

Then, drop anchor in Manzanillo—where golden beaches and deep-sea thrills await.
In Puerto Vallarta, soak in the inclusive, laid-back spirit of this coastal gem.
Then it’s on to Mazatlán, where colonial charm meets a vibrant seafood scene.
Finally, Cabo San Lucas delivers a showstopping finale with breaching whales and dramatic sea cliffs.

This is more than a cruise—it’s a celebration of the season, set against a backdrop of sun, sea, and sophistication.
Space is limited, so reserve your suite now and toast the New Year aboard one of the world’s most beloved luxury ships.

Ports of Call

San Diego (Days 1, 10)

San Diego is California's "first city," with roots dating back to 1796. San Diego's beautiful harbor is a lovely place to stroll and explore. Historic Seaport Village, along the Embarcadero, is filled with fascinating shops and galleries. But if you wish to explore further, San Diego offers a world of excitement.
Attractions & Activities
Many popular museums, such as the San Diego Museum of Art, the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San Diego Museum of Man, the Museum of Photographic Arts, and the San Diego Air & Space Museum are located in Balboa Park, which is also the location of the San Diego Zoo. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is located in La Jolla and has a branch located at the Santa Fe Depot downtown. The downtown branch consists of two building on two opposite streets. The Columbia district downtown is home to historic ship exhibits belonging to the San Diego Maritime Museum, headlined by the Star of India, as well as the unrelated San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum featuring the USS Midway aircraft carrier.

Manzanillo (Day 4)

Nature is undoubtedly Manzanillo's best attraction. Its twin bays, Manzanillo and Santiago, where crystal blue waters lap the black and gold volcanic sand, have caught outsiders eyes since Cortes conquered Mexico. Manzanillo also has significant rail connections to the interior.

Puerto Vallarta (Day 5)

Experience the warmth of Puerto Vallarta, which is quaint and full of history, yet modern, vibrant, exotic. Discover a destination of relaxing beaches, world class restaurants, and the latest in ecotourism and extreme adventure, in a setting that is internationally recognized for its charm and friendliness, with a backdrop of mountains, rivers, coastline, and emerald green waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Attractions & Activities
Take advantage of a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with our intelligent finned friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center. You'll be given an introduction to these friendly mammals. Then, you'll actually have the chance to swim with them in a specially designed pool.

Mazatlan (Day 6)

Translated, Mazatlan means "place of deer" from the ancient Nahuati tongue. Great herds of deer were said to have roamed this area, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Resplendent with rich tradition and folklore, Mazatlan is said to have been frequented by pirates who left behind their buried treasure. Noted for its sparkling sand beaches and warm Pacfic waters, Mazatlan is an ideal spot to get in a swim.
Attractions & Activities
Take in the charming and historic sights on a tour of the city. Stop to do some shopping at Mazatlan's Golden Zone, home to Mexican and Indian handicrafts. It's a great way to celebrate the colors, songs and dances of ancient and colonial Mexico.

Cabo San Lucas (Days 7, 8)

Here at the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the amazing rock formation known as Los Arcos guards the entrance to the bay lies Cabo San Lucas which was once a hideout for pirates on the lookout for trading ships. Here you can spy on a no-longer-secret underwater garden through a glass-bottom boat, flirt with a whale or sea lion, shop at a quayside bazaar, or rekindle romance at the secluded Playa del Amor.
Attractions & Activities
Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming a popular destination for one reason: beautiful beaches. You'll find an amazing choice of activities here, from snorkeling and scuba diving to surfing and kayaking. There's something for everyone, even people who just want to lie in the sun and relax.
