Mexican Riviera Bears Gay Group Cruise 2025
7 nights from/to Los Angeles, California, USA
October 18 – 25, 2025
Princess Cruises Royal Princess
 Week of fun in the sun. Join our gay bears group as we set sail from Los Angeles to Mexican Riviera on the Royal Princess. We are offering a 7-day Mexico cruise vacation roundtrip from Los Angeles with convenient Saturday departure. Visit 3 top ports including popular favorites Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. In addition to the history and beauty of this region, there's also a lot to do in this part of the world - particularly for active types.
Each port on our Mexican Cruise holiday is filled with fun and adventure including kayaking, zip lining, swimming with dolphins, scuba diving and much more. You're never far from a beautiful beach or a good party in Princess's cruises to Mexico. Explore old traditions and stunning towns when you cruise to the Mexican Riviera on Royal Princess.
Most of Mexico's Baja West Coast was populated with small fishing villages until the 1920s, when tourists from up north started to arrive. Glamorous towns like Acapulco gained international fame in the 1960s when celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and John Wayne made it their seaside escape from the drama of Hollywood. The term "Mexican Riviera" came into being when the cruise industry discovered the region; scenic, tourist-friendly ports like Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta provided the backdrop for television's The Love Boat in the 1970s and 1980s. For many of us, it's hard to even read this itinerary without hearing Julie the cruise director saying it in our heads!
For those who seek culture, Mazatlan has a historic center that has become a draw for international artists, and Puerto Vallarta's foodie scene is among the best in Mexico.
Each town we will visit offers a wonderful mix of historic Mexican culture, modern shopping and colorful entertainment... and of course warm sunshine and white sand beaches.

The ship also boasts the largest top-deck swimming pool in the Princess fleet, with its own dazzling evening water and light show! The atrium on the magnificent Royal Princess is even larger and features additional entertainment and casual dining options, too.

Los Angeles, California, United States
The City of Angels always hovers between dream and reality. Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. It's an exciting semitropical city of palm trees, swimming pools, television studios and aerospace factories. Los Angeles is one of the world's most exciting cities and the movie-making capital of the world. Wherever you visit, from ritzy Beverly Hills to the wondrous Hollywood Bowl, you'll have an unforgettable stay.
No trip to L.A. is complete without a stop in Disneyland. This world-famous park has been a favorite of children - and adults - for generations. While you're there, you should stop by Disney's California AdventureSM park. This newest Disney park is an idealized version of California, from its gold-mining history to its colorful present.

• See a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, famous for its perfect and natural acoustics.
• Compare your footprints and handprints with those of your favorite movie stars and celebrities at Mann's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
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.
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.
• Gaze from atop the cliffs at the very far end of the bay at the unforgettable view of Land's End's craggy rock arches and dramatic seascape.
• Sail to beautiful Santa Maria Cove and enjoy snorkeling in the clear, turquoise waters.
• Cruise the waters of Los Cabos to search for humpback and gray whales.
• Set sail on a luxury sailing yacht for Lovers Beach, a sea lion colony, and Land's End.
• Watch local artisans blow heated glass into crystalline works of art on a tour of a local glass-blowing factory.
Mazatlan, Mexico
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.
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.
• Take a fascinating tour of the legendary Sierra Madre mountain range. Visit once-thriving colonial towns, which hosted missionaries and gold prospectors alike.
• Spend the afternoon exploring Mazatlan's long white-sand beaches, lined with open-air bistros and fun-loving bars.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
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.
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.
If you are looking forward to a relaxing day, stroll through historic downtown or along the Malecon. Shop at the Cuale River for souvenirs or near the Malecon for silver, turquoise and opal. Delight in the variety of orchids and other wildlife at the Botanical Garden. Visit the new Los Muertos Pier or an art gallery, or view the yachts at the Marina. Eat at a typical Mexican food or gourmet restaurant. Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
