Each year hundreds of friends enjoy the warm weather by cruising to the Mexican Riviera. This is an 8-day cruise on Carnival Cruise Line’s “SPIRIT” that departs from San Diego, California.

Make your own airline reservations to San Diego or call our office for the cruise line airfare. You can also spend time before or after the cruise in California as there are many attractions to visit. Just the food and entertainment alone is worth the price of this inexpensive cruise!
