Back-to-Back Cruises from San Diego

San Diego has the shortest airport-to-terminal hop of any port on this list, and its short Ensenada runs make cheap back-to-back building easy.

Every row below is a real pair of Royal Caribbean sailings where the second leg departs San Diego on the day the first one returns. Fares are the lowest cached interior all-in price per guest for both legs combined, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently running back-to-backs here: Serenade of the Seas.

Why San Diego works for a back-to-back

• The 2-, 3-, and 4-night Ensenada and Baja sailings are inexpensive, and stacking two or three of them is a low-cost way to spend a week at sea.
• Longer Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal itineraries also sail from here, so a short leg can be bolted onto something substantial.
• The airport is close enough to the terminal that a same-day flight is realistic even on turnaround day, which is not true at most ports.

Turnaround day at San Diego

The B Street and Broadway Pier terminals sit right on the downtown waterfront. Turnaround is quick and consecutive cruisers who clear early can walk into the Gaslamp Quarter.

Getting there

SAN to the pier is a ten-minute taxi. Downtown hotels are walking distance from the terminal, which makes the night before a back-to-back simple.

Nearest airport: San Diego International (SAN), about 10 minutes away.
