Mexican Riviera

The Mexican Riviera, located on the Pacific coast of Mexico, got its name thanks to the cruise company Princess. At one time, it was Princess Cruises that, aiming to create a romantic aura for new cruise destinations, came up with several ports in eastern Mexico called the Riviera, similar to the famous bohemian resort pearl of the Mediterranean.

The main advantage of the Mexican Riviera – undoubtedly, its beaches. Wide stretches of clean sand opposite picturesque cliffs – this is their typical view.

One of the benefits of cruises along the Mexican Riviera is that they run year-round. There is no strict commitment to a particular season on this route, which makes it possible to count on excellent weather conditions in what, seemingly, are unpopular months such as March or October. In any case, the region has its best cruise seasons. The most comfortable time for a sea voyage in the case of the Mexican Riviera promises to be mid-October.

The most popular departure port for cruises along the Mexican Riviera starts in Los Angeles.
You can also sail from San Diego and San Francisco.
The traditional ports of call – Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San.
With great interest, you can visit the ports of Acapulco and Manzanillo.
If you want even more exoticism, then it’s worth paying attention to cruises that include stops in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo.

Cruises along the Mexican Riviera require a U.S. visa application.
