Day 5 – Wednesday, March 10: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Arrival: 7:00 AM | Departure: 6:00 PM
Puerto Vallarta was sleepy no more; its transformation into an international resort had begun. Then director John Huston chose the village as the location for his film "Night of the Iguana," starring Richard Burton. Today, the city has its own "Gringo Gulch," a haunt of the rich and famous. Travelers are also drawn by its climate, its excellent shopping – which offers great values on leather goods, jewelry, and handicrafts, and mile after mile of palm-lined beaches. The Malecon The city's popular boardwalk by the beach is lined with shops, restaurants, and artists selling their wares. Begin your stroll at the Los Milenos sculpture by Mathis Lidice and head southward. Las Caletas Accessible only by boat, this secluded cove on the southern shores of Banderas Bay is surrounded by lush jungle and features pristine beaches for an exclusive private paradise. Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe The cathedral features a gilded crown, a replica of one worn by Carlota, empress of Mexico. A 1995 earthquake damaged the crown, and sculptor Octavio Gonzales created its replacement. Tequila Hacienda Discover the fascinating process of tequila making, from its origins in the blue agave cactus to your glass, and sample Puerto Vallarta's finest at Hacienda Doña Engracia. Yelapa The tiny town and crescent-shaped beach of the same name are situated in a cove off Banderas Bay, south of Puerto Vallarta. Sleepy and remote, the only way to get there is by boat. Isla Marietas This series of uninhabited islands offers kayaking, snorkeling, or scuba diving around the periphery of the islands, where you can bird-watch, as it is a haven for all manner of winged species. Dolphin Encounter Get acquainted with new underwater friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center.

Outdoor Adventure Become one with nature as you zipline and rappel through the Mexican jungle, view the countryside by powerful ATV, or go kayaking and snorkelling in the warm waters of Puerto Vallarta.
Day 4 – Tuesday, March 9: Mazatlan, Mexico
Arrival: 8:00 AM | Departure: 6:00 PM
Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a name that means "Place of the Deer," sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre, and the Cerro de Neveria - "Ice Box Hill" - divides the area's rocky Pacific beaches from the broad, white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world's top resort destinations. Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the famed Papantla dancers, Mazatlan remains one of Mexico's major Pacific ports - the city exports over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year. Cathedral Basilica & Plaza Revolución Admire the Moorish and Gothic architecture at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, then head across the way to the popular Plaza Revolución with its charming gazebo and street vendors. Teatro Angela Peralta The Italian-style theatre, a national landmark lovingly restored to its 19th-century splendor, is home to a concert hall, galleries, an art school, and a highly regarded conservatory of music and dance. Golden Zone The tourist zone, known as Zona Dorada (Golden Zone), boasts numerous four and five-star hotels with private beaches, shops, and restaurants, and palm-lined beaches. Stone Island Stone Island is less crowded and not as developed as the mainland, a haven of sunshine and ocean, with glistening sand, crashing waves, rustling palm trees, and plentiful coconuts. Pacifico Brewery Founded in 1900 by three German immigrants, Pacifico Brewery produces one of Mexico's finest premium brews. High Divers High-flying divers perform acrobatic and dangerous plunges into rocky surf from a 59-foot high ledge. Copala-Concordia In the lush Sierra Madre foothills, the twin colonial towns are reminiscent of yesteryear as artisans craft furniture and pottery, and cobblestones and colorful red roof tiles dot the streets. Outdoor Adventure From hiking to sportfishing to ziplining through the treetops, Mazatlan offers exciting adventures outdoors to suit anyone's style.
Day 3 – Monday, March 8: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Arrival: 12:00 PM | Departure: 8:00 PM
Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression, creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas - or "Cabo" - is one of the premier resort destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax on one of the white-sand beaches, or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world. Note: Your ship will anchor in Cabo San Lucas and use launches to transport all passengers ashore. El Arco (the Arch) & Lover's Beach This majestic rock formation, carved by the ocean currents, is the most recognized landmark in Cabo San Lucas. Located at Land's End, around the corner from Lover's Beach, it is a haven for sea lions. San José del Cabo Stroll through the historical center of San Jose del Cabo and immerse yourself in the Spanish colonial character and charm preserved in the 18th-century architecture and cultural traditions. Médano Beach Cabo's most popular beach and main swimming area, Medano, encompasses the east side of the harbor. An abundance of water sports, restaurants, and street vendors adds lively local color. Todos Santos Located on the southern Baja Peninsula, this charming paradise lies between the desert and the Sierra Laguna mountain range. Quaint village life, abundant agriculture, and miles of unspoiled beaches abound. Snorkeling Offering some of the best snorkelling in the Mexican Riviera, Cabo San Lucas is a marine sanctuary that's home to a wide variety of colorful, thriving sea life just waiting to be encountered. Dolphin Encounter Interact and ride through the water with the friendly dolphins at the renowned Cabo Dolphin Center. Educational encounters for kids include feeding, hugging, and kissing these magical creatures. Whale Watching Naturalist guides lead you on an adventure in search of the gray whale as it navigates the waters from Alaska to the Sea of Cortez on the longest migration of any mammal. Outdoor Adventure Enjoy the scenery as your horse gently strolls upon the sand, soar through the canyons on a zipline tour, race through the water aboard a thrilling yacht, or off-road through Mexico's rugged interior!
Day 2 – Sunday, March 7: The High Seas
The Discovery Princess is yours to explore! Use this day of travel to sharpen your blades and prepare your spells before the true saga begins.

Quest Day 1 – The Grand Embarkation: The City of Angels
Departure: 4:00 PM
The City of Angels sits at the shifting border between the Material Plane and the Ethereal. Once a forgotten colonial outpost on the edge of the frontier, this sprawling Great City has metamorphosed from a humble agrarian hamlet into a shimmering "Dream Machine." It is a realm of constant True Resurrection—a place where commoners and high-born alike come to reinvent their very character sheets. The city’s true magic lies in its Cultural Convergence. In what other tavern can you find a Thai-spiced taco or a Kosher burrito? From the towering spires of the Downtown Citadel to the coastal druid-groves of Malibu and the gilded merchant stalls of Beverly Hills, the city is a living tapestry of diverse lineages and sizzling traditions. The Adventure Begins: Arrive at the port of call at least two hours before the sails are hoisted (by 14:00 hours) to ensure your passage is secured. Evening Event: The Gathering at the Vista Lounge Once you have stowed your gear in your assigned quarters and restored your hit points with a midday feast, make haste to the Vista Lounge for the Conclash Welcome Summit. * Meet Your Game Masters: Face the architects of your upcoming campaign. * Claim Your Loot: Collect your official "Swag Bags" (no Sleight of Hand check required). * The Hero’s Social: Mingle with your fellow party members at an all-inclusive Alchemist’s Cocktail Party. Exchange tales of past triumphs and coordinate your strategies before we break bread for the evening feast!
Day 1 – Saturday, March 6: Los Angeles, California
Departure: 4:00 PM
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. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is often described as the "dream machine." In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and a sizzling culture. LA is the source for trends that migrate across the country and then the world. Where else can you enjoy a Thai taco or munch on a kosher burrito? Or travel from downtown's high rises to the beaches of Malibu, shopping in Beverly Hills along the way? Arrive in Los Angeles the day before to enjoy some of what LA has to offer, or arrive today to directly embark on your next adventure. You should arrive at the cruise terminal to embark at least 2 hours before departure (4 PM).
After settling in your room and maybe grabbing lunch or a quick snack, come to the Vista Lounge for Conclash’s Welcome Event, where you can meet your Dungeon Master, learn more about the onboard events, and collect your swag bags, then mingle with other D&D enthusiasts at an all-inclusive cocktail party before dinner!
