Cruise to Mexico with the World’s Leading Cruise Lines

Cruise to Mexico to take in the Mexican Riviera’s rugged coastline back dropped by the Sierra Madre mountain range.  Enjoy the scenic vistas and crystal blue oceans that are surely a photographer’s dream.

 

The bright flavors of Mexico’s west coast feature sun-drenched beaches, hidden rock jetties where visitors might spot local fishermen, colorful art by local craftsman, and, of course, authentic Mexican cuisine. Popular Mexico cruise ports include Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas. Longer cruises to Mexico that originate from San Francisco or Los Angeles travel further south to the luxury resorts of Acapulco and Ixtapa.

 

Puerto Vallarta was once an untouched sleepy fishing village until it was featured by director John Huston for his film “Night of the Iguana.”  Thus began a transformation to an international resort, well-known for its enticing climate with long days of sunlight and miles of palm-lined beaches. This Mexico cruise location entices shoppers with leather, jewelry and Mexican handicrafts. Excursions take you outside the city through tropical rain forests nestled in the shadows of the Sierra Madre Mountains.

 

The city Mazatlán is considered one of the most important ports on the country’s Pacific coast. A trip to the world’s highest lighthouse, a day of sport fishing for tuna, swordfish, or Dorado, sunbathing on Mazatlán's long sandy beaches, or shopping for Mexican handicrafts are a few of the activities for adventurous vacationers to enjoy.

 

Cabo San Lucas sits at the very tip of the world’s longest peninsula where the waters of the Pacific Ocean merge with the Sea of Cortez. Boats tour to Los Arcos’ spectacular rock formations where lucky travelers can spot sea lions, pelicans, and migrating humpback and gray whales. The secluded waters in the Santa Maria Cove on the Sea of Cortez are a good location for snorkeling and kayaking.
