Royal Caribbean International has announced new Mexican Riviera itineraries departing San Diego for the 2009-2010 winter-through-spring season.
The Radiance of the Seas will extend its season from San Diego, offering a total of 24 Mexican Riviera sailings, ranging from four to 12 nights, as well as two West Coast cruises, a nine- and a 10-night itinerary.
Subsequently, the cruise line has cancelled the Radiance of the Sea’s previously planned South America cruises during the same time period.
The ship will increase the total number of San Diego sailings from September 2009 through May 2010 with 10 long cruises to the Mexican Riviera.
These nine- to 11-night roundtrip itineraries are in addition to the 12 short cruises of four and five nights, which were announced earlier this year.
There’s also a 12-night holiday cruise departing Dec. 21, 2009, and a 13th five-night cruise sailing on May 3, 2010.
Ports of call on the Mexican Riviera cruises include Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Huatulco, Ixtapa (Zihuatanejo), Manzanillo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Radiance’s call at Manzanillo on Thanksgiving Day 2009 will mark the cruise line’s first return to the port since 1999.
The two West Coast cruises include one that sails from San Diego to Vancouver on Jan. 22, 2010, for 10 nights, and in reverse on March 2, 2010, for nine nights. Each sailing includes ports of call at Catalina Island; San Francisco; Astoria, Ore.; Seattle; and Victoria, B.C.
Guests holding individual or group reservations on Radiance of the Seas’ previously scheduled South America cruises from Nov. 21, 2009, through March 7, 2010, will have the option to rebook on Radiance of the Seas’ South America cruises from Nov. 23, 2008, through Feb. 1, 2009, and from Feb. 28, 2009, through April 26, 2009, subject to availability and at the prevailing rate.
Rebooking guests will receive onboard credits of $200 per standard stateroom and $400 per suite.
