Last Updated: September 10, 2024

Imagine standing on the deck of a stunning, state-of-the-art cruise ship, the wind in your hair, and the vast Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly before you. This isn't just any cruise—this is Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas, one of the most innovative ships in the world, setting sail from Los Angeles to explore the beauty of Mexico. For a limited time during summer 2025, travelers can experience this world-class ship sailing from Los Angeles to Mexico. Ready to dive in? Let’s explore everything that makes this cruise so special and how you can join the adventure.

Why Ovation of the Seas is a Game-Changer for West Coast Cruises

Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas is not your average cruise ship, and this is not your typical cruise. Ovation is a Quantum-class ship, launched in 2016, and boasts some of the most cutting-edge features in the cruising world. From the North Star, a glass capsule that elevates you 300 feet above sea level for 360-degree panoramic views, to the SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea complete with bumper cars, roller skating, and even a flying trapeze—there’s no shortage of thrills onboard.

This is a ship that often sails through Alaska or Australia, but now, for the summer of 2025, it’s offering 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-night sailings from Los Angeles to Mexico. With a capacity of 4,905 guests, 14 guest-accessible decks, and a range of dining options, Ovation turns a typical Mexico cruise into something truly spectacular. Whether you're soaking up the sun by the pool, tackling the FlowRider® surf simulator, or relaxing in the adults-only Solarium, this ship offers endless possibilities for every type of traveler.

Destinations: Sun, Sea, and Sand Await

One of the best parts about cruising from Los Angeles to Mexico is the stunning range of destinations you get to explore along the way. Cabo San Lucas, with its iconic rock formations and crystal-clear waters, is the crown jewel of the itinerary. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie looking to go snorkeling, diving, or kayaking in the Sea of Cortez, or you prefer to bask in the luxury of the city’s high-end resorts and pristine beaches, Cabo has something for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to see El Arco, the famous rock arch at Land’s End—a must for any traveler.

Another highlight is Ensenada, known for its mix of natural beauty and rich cultural experiences. From whale watching tours to visiting La Bufadora, one of the world’s largest marine geysers, there’s no shortage of adventure here. For foodies, Ensenada’s proximity to Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico's wine region, offers a unique chance to experience wine tastings, fresh seafood, and vibrant local markets.

After a day of exploring, you’ll return to Ovation of the Seas, where you can indulge in world-class dining, entertainment, and relaxation, making each day of the cruise feel like its own adventure.
