Un-Cruise Adventures – Baja’s Bounty Sea of Cortés Preview
WAVEJourney is counting down to our small-ship adventure cruise with Un-Cruise Adventures. On February 27, we will say good-bye to our luxury all-inclusive pre-cruise hotel (Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa) in Los Cabos, and join the Safari Endeavour for a 7-night Baja’s Bounty cruise in Mexico’s Sea of Cortés.
The Baja’s Bounty cruise is roundtrip San José del Cabo, at the tip of the Baja California Sur Peninsula. Passengers flying in that day can take an included airport transfer to the Un-Cruise hospitality area at a local hotel (having arrived a few days earlier, we will take a taxi to meet the group). Then all passengers will be transferred overland with the ship’s expedition team to La Paz, where we will join the ship.
