Baja Mexico is also known as Baja California. Cruises to this Western peninsula in Mexico are often shorter cruises that make for great getaways — perfect if you don’t have a ton of time.

Baja Mexico cruises often depart from San Diego, Santa Barbara, or the Los Angeles area (San Pedro or Long Beach). Extended weekend cruises on this route often include stops in Ensenada and Catalina Island. Longer itineraries usually include Mexican Riviera ports, such as Puerto Vallarta, Loreto, and Manzanillo.

Due to their popularity, you’ll find that most major cruise lines sail Baja Mexico. Choose from Norwegian, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Disney, Holland America, and more.
