A Mexican Riviera cruise is one of the most popular year-round cruise destinations. And, why wouldn’t it be with ideal temperatures ranging in the 70’s and 80’s all year round. You’ll enjoy relaxing days at sea aboard your floating resort and then pull into the best of the Pacific Mexico cruise ports, places like Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
The most popular among cruisers is a 7-night Mexican Riviera cruise out of Los Angeles or San Diego. Cruise lines that offer Mexican Riviera cruises are Norwegian Cruise Lines, Holland America Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines and Princess Cruise Lines. Or, if you have more time, consider the 10-night Mexican Riviera cruise on Princess out of San Francisco and enjoy more days soaking up some sun and relaxing out at sea.

Cabo San Lucas has everything to offer for fun on the water and great shopping
When you pull into port in Cabo San Lucas expect an abundance of water sports to choose from including fishing and boat excursions. It’s also well known for its championship golf courses. However, you could spend an entire day shopping for coral, turquoise and silver, or spend some time in a tequila tasting store where you’ll find the world’s largest collection of tequilas to sample. Or, just pick a bar along the beach, order an ice-cold Corona with lime and need we say more?

Mazatlan–it’s back and better than ever
Mazatlan has come back with a determination to make their port the safest, most interesting and favorite destination on a Mexican cruise. Millions have been spent to create a cobble-stoned corridor from the port to the historic downtown. It’s lighted and lined with vendors. So put on your walking shoes, and get some shrimp tacos and a beer and explore this fabulous restored city.
Mazatlan is back on the Mexico cruise itineraries after a two-year hiatus. The Mexican government has spent the last two years investing millions of dollars in security equipment and beefing up their security protocol. During this time, crime has been reduced by 80% and there have been ZERO incidents involving cruise passengers.

Puerto Vallarta is Mexico’s most charming town
Puerto Vallarta is an old-world style fishing town. Enjoy a walk along the cobble-stoned Malecon walkway that edges the coastline. The large bay makes for the perfect water to take a relaxing boat excursion. Because the Bay of Banderas is warm there is an abundance of sea life—and a favorite home to the humpback whale. You can choose from many water activities like snorkeling or fishing, or just enjoy the view of the lush jungle-style coastline from shore.
