Los Angeles residents have a new way to cruise to Mexico.<\/p>\n
On May 31, Royal Caribbean<\/a> repositioned the massive Ovation of the Seas to the Port of Los Angeles for Mexico cruises<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We are here in a big way,” said Vicki Freed, Royal Caribbean’s senior vice president for sales, at a Q&A on a preview sailing of the new route for media and travel agents. She meant that both literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n The 4,182-passenger Ovation of the Seas is the first Royal Caribbean Quantum Class<\/a> ship based in Los Angeles \u2014 and also the largest ship ever to sail out of that port based on capacity. (At 168,666 gross tons, it’s just slightly smaller than the 169,116-ton Norwegian Encore<\/a>, also based there.)<\/p>\n Launched in 2016, Ovation of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s five Quantum Class ships and includes amenities like indoor skydiving, bumper cars and the North Star observation capsule that lifts passengers 300 feet above sea level.<\/p>\n The Mexico itineraries out of Los Angeles on Ovation of the Seas range from three to eight nights in length and visit ports such as Catalina Island, California, and Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.<\/p>\n
