 Mexico,
Baja Mexico & The Mexican RivieraRelax in Acapulco, see the picture-perfect red-tiled roofs, cobblestone streets, and beautiful bay of Puerto Vallarta, and enjoy snorkeling and water sports in Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa. For years, Acapulco has been a playground for sun lovers and water-sports enthusiasts from around the world. Its remarkable assortment of beaches, excellent facilities and variety of panoramic settings prove irresistible to anyone who enjoys being outdoors. Beautiful Puerto Vallarta is a picture-book city of red-tiled roofs, white stucco buildings and cobblestone streets.You can climb up the steps of a Mayan temple at Tulum, cruise through the famed Rock Arch at Cabo San Lucas, snorkel with dolphins in Cozumel, and reel in a swordfish in Mazatlan. Mazatlán is one of the Mexican Riviera’s premier resort areas. Its remarkable scenic beauty is complemented by a delightful festive atmosphere and a wealth of exciting activities. Sportfishing is another of Mazatlán’s big draws; the city has the largest sportfishing fleet in Mexico. Area waters are rich with sailfish and marlin, which can be caught year-round. Tuna, sea bass, dorado and grouper are abundant as well. Other water sports available include diving, snorkeling and jet-skiing. Some Western Caribbean cruises can visit Mexican ports in their itineraries. These Mexico cruises depart from Florida and the gulf ports of New Orleans, Galveston and Houston. Some cruiselines call them "Texaribbean" as they leave exclusively from Texas ports. Other Western Caribbean cruises visit the Eastern ports of Mexico located on the Yucatan Peninsula. These ports may include Cozumel, Cancun and Costa Maya. Since these cruises can visit other Caribbean ports like Jamaica, Belize, Grand Cayman, they are not considered as primarily Mexico cruise destinations, but rather noted as Western Caribbean cruises. Need a new place to golf, snorkel or dive? Cancún is the place to be. Aim for the fairways beside the turquoise Caribbean, snorkel with tropical fish in crystal-clear waters and explore underground rivers and caves. Cozumel is a diverse and fascinating getaway, where experiencing the romance of history and the outdoor pleasures of a tropical resort take precedence over everything else. Its combination of Mexican spice and Caribbean charm will captivate you. Baja Mexico cruises to Ensenada & Catalina are fun, relaxing 3 & 4-Day weekend getaways. 7-Day Mexican Riviera cruises travel much further south to Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. Some longer Mexican Riviera cruises include stops or overnights in Acapulco. Manzanillo,
is also located on the Pacific Coast - fine beaches,
sail fishing, and water-sports abound in this important
seaport, along with opportunities for golf and tennis.
It is one of the few spots in Mexico for surfing. In
town, there are boutiques, the public market, and informal
restaurants catering to all tastes. There are so many
things to do and sights to see during your Mexican cruise
vacation you'll be talking about your cruise for years
to come.
