| Royal Caribbean flags Los Angeles return

ROYAL Caribbean International will resume year-round cruising from Los Angeles next year, overnight unveiling its first California homeport operation in over a decade.

The program will see Navigator of the Seas offer 3-, 4-, 5- and 7-night itineraries including sailings to Ensenada and Catalina Island, voyages to Cabo San Lucas and winter cruises also taking in Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan.

Sales open shortly, with the ship offering a host of new features following a US$115 million “amplification”.
