Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo is surrounded by clear waters and sun-kissed beaches.

On a Mexico cruise, tour Todos Santos and enjoy lunch at the Hotel California. Or sail on a catamaran to Lover’s Beach, and snap a photo in front of El Arco on your way.
With a culture as timeless as the scenery, Mazatlan is a jewel in Mexico’s crown. Stroll past the colorful homes and artisan stalls that line the streets. Celebrate the city’s cultural and historical highlights during a folkloric show. Or shop for hand-crafted goods in one of Mexico’s major port cities, and find a special gift to take home as a token of your Mexico cruise.
Between its beaches, aquatic parks and vibrant art scene, Puerto Vallarta’s varied landscapes offer adventures for all. On a Mexico cruise, wander through the city’s galleries, and sample tequila alongside handmade tortillas and salsa. Or stroll along the seafront Malecon boardwalk – the city’s premier shopping destination — where mementos, margaritas and Mexican buffets await.

Or watch street performers sing and dance, and get up close to larger-than-life sand sculptures.
On a Mexican Riviera cruise with Princess, travel back in time to the 19th century during a visit to Mazatlan’s Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Admire the Moorish and Gothic architecture, and marvel at statues of famous saints — like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — that decorate the church’s exterior. Then head inside to see baroque decor, crystal chandeliers and gold-lined murals.
With an abundance of activities to do on both land and sea, Medano Beach offers something for the whole family. Relax on the golden shores, or indulge in a waterside lunch nearby. Float in the turquoise sea, or make some waves on a jet ski ride. Your dream beach day awaits on a Mexican Riviera cruise to Cabo.

With excursions for every traveler, see why we’re named one of the best cruises to the Mexican Riviera.

Cruises to the Mexican Riviera
Mountains and desert meet the aquamarine surf of the Pacific on the Mexican Riviera, a playground of glamorous resort towns, golden beaches, enchanting Spanish colonial architecture, and jaw-dropping sunsets.
All your senses will be captivated on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera with Celebrity. Taste local wines in Ensenada. Feel the sea breeze on your face as you sail around the rocky coastline of Cabo San Lucas on the lookout for sea lions. Explore the galleries and boho-chic shops of Olas Altas, Puerto Vallarta. Stroll the malecón waterfront in chic Mazatlán. You’ll absorb Mexico’s colorful culture in the street food, tequila, music, and craft markets everywhere you go.
Mexican Riviera Cruise Highlights
Glorious coastal scenery.
Whether you prefer long stretches of golden sand lined with chic restaurants and bars, or wild, wave-pounded rocks, you’ll find your dream on the Mexican Riviera. People-watch in the fashionable Golden Zone in Mazatlán. Take a day boat to the dramatic El Arco rock arch near Cabo San Lucas. Marvel at the ocean’s power at La Bufadora, Ensenada’s famous rock blowhole. Soak up the Hollywood glamor of Playa de los Muertos in Puerto Vallarta.
Art & Architecture
You’ll find colorful colonial architecture in many of the towns along the Mexican Riviera. Mazatlán’s Old Town is a maze of flower-filled plazas and delightful 19th-century buildings, many now serving as restaurants and galleries. In Puerto Vallarta, admire the Zona Romantica and the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, its steeple topped with a filigree crown. Head to pretty Todos Santos, a day trip from Cabo San Lucas, to wander cobblestone streets and browse galleries.
Creative Cuisine
Mexico’s vibrant cuisine brings ever-new discoveries as you sail the Mexican Riviera. There are more than 50 wineries in the Guadalupe Valley near Ensenada, so this is the place to head for tastings. In Puerto Vallarta, don’t miss pescado embarazado, fresh fish grilled with lime on a stick over charcoal, served with tangy salsa. Cabo San Lucas is packed with fine restaurants, but you can’t beat the farm-to-table cuisine here—all washed down with an ice-cold margarita.

By Carnival Cruise Line
The Mexican Riviera is comprised of a string of incredible port cities and beach resorts along the sun-drenched Pacific Coast of Mexico. This region and its top destinations boast unmatched elements that make cruises to the Mexican Riviera appealing to families, couples and fun-seeking friends alike. Beyond the beautiful beaches, the diverse landscapes range from rugged mountain peaks to cactus-strewn deserts. You’ll discover cultural and historic attractions from tequila factories to colonial-era churches to an abundance of marine life.
Mexican Riviera Itineraries
Carnival Panorama , Carnival’s newest cruise ship setting sail starting Dec 2019, offers you three itinerary options for taking a Mexican Riviera cruise. All will be departing from the convenient port of Long Beach (Los Angeles) .
6-Day Cruise: If you’re looking to visit two of the Mexican Riviera’s most popular vacation spots — Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada — opt for this relaxing 6-day cruise option . This gives you two consecutive full days to explore the beauty and adventures in Cabo and then wrap up your vacation by spending the day in the breathtaking port of Ensenada, known as the “Cinderella of the Pacific.”
7-Day Cruise: If you’re looking to explore as much of the Mexican Riviera as possible, opt for the 7-day itinerary which takes you to the beautiful ports of Cabo San Lucas , Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta . At each port, you can explore the rich culture and history, stunning beaches and delicious authentic cuisine for a full day.
8-Day Cruise: If you’re looking for the longest cruise option that gives you equal parts relaxation and equal parts excitement, opt for this 8-day itinerary . You’ll get two full days in Cabo San Lucas, then a full day each in Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta .
![mayan riviera cruise ocean view of puerto vallarta during sunset](https://www.carnival.com/awaywego/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ocean-view-puerto-vallarta-1.jpg)
Packing Smart for Your Cruise
The Mexican Riviera’s weather is warm and sunny year round, with average temperatures ranging from the low 80s during the day to the high 60s in the evening hours. Be sure to pack the following:
- Summer clothes
- Multiple swimsuits
- A light rain jacket and a sweater (for cooler evenings and air-conditioned venues)
- Sunscreen (reef-friendly)
- Refillable water bottle
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Binoculars (optional)
Onboard the ship, dress code is generally informal, but you can expect one or two “cruise elegant” evenings in the dining room. Bring one elegant outfit, or stick to the casual scene in the Lido Restaurant. Also, remember to double-check the ship’s luggage requirements before you pack your suitcase.
![mayan riviera cruise woman packing shorts, shirts, sunglasses and straw hat for vacation](https://www.carnival.com/awaywego/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/woman-packing-for-vacation.jpg)

But don’t fret — Carnival has got you covered with an amazing selection of exciting shore excursion itineraries. Book early and you’ll be set for an adventure as soon as the ship pulls into port.
Cabo San Lucas is a superb destination for outdoor adventures including sailing, ziplining, horseback riding on the beach, snorkeling and diving. Golfers can play 18 holes at the Cabo del Sol Desert Course , one of the top golf courses in Mexico.
If off-roading is more your speed, go on the Wild Canyon UTV Expedition , where you can drive through canyons and creeks, on the beach and across the longest hanging wooden bridge in the world. Another unique excursion is the Camel and Mexican Outback Adventure . Drive a 4×4 across unspoiled desert canyons to a secluded ranch on the Pacific coast, where you’ll explore cactus-lined river beds, go for a nature walk, participate in tequila-tasting and tortilla-making workshops, and then ride a camel on the beach.

- Safety, emergencies, and basics
Because the Costa Maya area is so sparsely populated , the local port authorities developed along the last decade an excellent cruise terminal with all services and amenities for passengers, lots of entertainment, bars, restaurants, pools, and great shopping.
But the Costa Maya cruise port is also the gateway to the lovely beaches of Mahahual and spectacular Mayan ruins like Chacchoben, Kohunlich, Dzibanche, and Kinichná.
Mayá, the Lost Mayan Kingdom Theme Waterpark, is within walking distance of the cruise terminal in Costa Maya, and the Maya Chan Beach (an all-inclusive private beach resort) is a 20-minute drive south. These attractions are between 2 miles (3.2 km) and 100 miles (160 km) from the cruise port terminal.
Costa Maya is a major cruise port of call in the Western Caribbean itineraries during the Fall-Winter season, with as many as 1.5 million passengers and over 500 cruise ships visits in 2019.
The cruise port in Costa Maya has a very appealing character. The port area is neat and well maintained. On the whole, Costa Maya is very safe . The local population is very friendly but not pushy and speaks English reasonably well. For those cruising with families, there are lots of things to do . Cruise passengers with disabilities or with walking difficulties will find it easy to wander around in Costa Maya on their own.
How to explore Costa Maya on a cruise
Cruise passengers wishing to discover famous Mayan Ruins like Chacchoben should look into booking shore excursions, be it with your cruise ship or with local tour operators. For those who want to enjoy an all-inclusive beach, it is advisable to book a day pass.
But you can easily travel on your own (by taxi, golf cars, or an affordable shuttle bus) to the Mahahual Village, where there is a long beach with lots of activities, bars, and restaurants. Keep reading to learn more about Mahahual.
Within walking distance of the cruise pier, there is a run-down but intriguing Mayan Museum and, of course, all the attractions in the Cruise Terminal. There are three possible ways to discover and enjoy a day at the cruise port of Costa Maya:
- Book a Shore Excursion
- On your own by shuttle, taxi or golf car
- On foot around the cruise terminal
Where is Costa Maya cruise port
Bathed by the Caribbean Sea, Puerto Costa Maya is on the East coast of the Yucatan peninsula near the south border of the Mexican State of Quintana Roo with Belize. The cruise terminal is close by the village of Nuevo Mahahual (with a tinny population of 920) Cozumel cruise port is 128 miles (206 km) to the north, and Belize City cruise port is 77 miles (144 km) to the south.
Other popular cruise ports in the Western Caribbean itineraries are also within a night sail away from Costa Maya, such as Roatán , 182 miles (293 km), Harvest Caye, 158 miles (255 km), and Grand Cayman 420 miles (675 km).
Where do cruise ships dock in Costa Maya?
![mayan riviera cruise Panoramic view of 4 ships docked at the T-shaped cruise piers in Puerto Costa Maya](https://www.iqcruising.com/images/photos/main/cruise-ships-docked-in-costa-maya-maya-photo-courtesy-of-trelleborg-group-16x9-768px.jpg)

Ships dock on a medium-size cruise purposely built port with T-shaped piers and quays for up to four cruise ships to moor. Whatever you decide to do, all cruise travelers will have to pass by the terminal building unless you stay onboard.

The entrance to the terminal with its massive Mayan replica door at the end of a perpendicular pier to the coast is impossible to miss. At a 90 degree angle to this pier is what used to be the primary docking pier.
Free trolley at the pier
The perpendicular pier to the coast is rather long. However, there is a free trolley for those with walking difficulties or not willing to walk, which is particularly convenient if cruising with young children.
![Pier Trolley Costa Maya Cruise Ship Port Photo of Pier Trolley in Costa Maya](https://www.iqcruising.com/images/photos/main/pier-trolley-costa-maya-cruise-port-copyright-iqcruising.jpg)
Pier Trolley - Costa Maya
The pier trolley travels on a continuous loop . But you should be prepared for a bit of a wait if four mega-ships are in port, which only seldom happens. The pier trolley must not be confused with the shuttle , which runs between the cruise terminal and Mahahual.

![Shuttle Kiosk Costa Maya Cruise Ship Port Photo of Shuttle Kiosk in Costa Maya](https://www.iqcruising.com/images/photos/main/terminal-shuttle-costa-maya-cruise-port-copyright-iqcruising.jpg)
Shuttle Kiosk - Costa Maya

Although the golf cars may not be available in the parking area of the cruise terminal, check this link - Mayahual Golf Carts - to double-check availability and eventually book an alternative golf car rental.
What's outside the cruise terminal
There is only one exit out of the gated cruise terminal's parking area. The gates open into a street with a central pedestrian corridor lined by buildings, which not long ago had a bustling activity.
![Road Outside Terminal Costa Maya Cruise Ship Port Photo of Road Outside Terminal in Costa Maya](https://www.iqcruising.com/images/photos/main/outside-terminal-costa-maya-cruise-port-copyright-iqcruising.jpg)
Road Outside Terminal - Costa Maya
Unfortunately, in 2007 and 2012, two hurricanes devastated Costa Maya, and these buildings are still waiting for restoration. Cruise passengers booked with online tour operators will meet their guides along this street outside the gated area of the cruise terminal.
The Mayan Museum is also on this street (on the right-hand side). This small free museum has a rather shabby entrance, but the interior displays interesting jade exhibits and historical boards for those wishing to learn more about this pre-Columbian civilization..
![Jade Sculptures Museum Costa Maya Cruise Ship Port Photo of Jade Sculptures at the Museum in Costa Maya](https://www.iqcruising.com/images/photos/main/mayan-jade-museum-costa-maya-cruise-port-copyright-iqcruising.jpg)
Jade Sculptures at the Museum
Right after the museum, there is a taxi stop and a Mayan pyramid replica that many cruise visitors like to climb for a photo memory . Some cruisers and staff say that the taxi stand rates are better at this stop than at the terminal but the Editor hasn't found this to be 100% accurate.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Mexico Cruises Insider
Mexico is ready for you to explore at any time of year. In general, the weather is best between December and April — there's little rain, and the temperatures are very comfortable. The wet season starts in May and ends in October, while hurricane season (affecting mostly the Caribbean side) starts in June and runs until November.
When you travel to Mexico, one of the best ways to enjoy the country is by immersion. Try the local food, shop the local markets, and choose excursions that allow you to spend time getting to know a specific neighborhood, historic site or natural wonder.
Learn a few phrases in Spanish and speak to waiters, vendors, tour guides and everyday people. Ask about places to eat, the history or the music. Get out of your comfort zone and reach out to the people who know the country best — they can let you know where to go for the best price on that souvenir you're seeking or which beachside spot makes the best margarita.

Best Mexico Ancient Ruins and Mayan Sites

More About Riviera Maya
Above all else, beaches are what define the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula—soft, blinding white strands of sand embracing clear turquoise waters; shores that curve into calm lagoons, coves, and inlets; and waves that crash against cliffs. The towns in this wild landscape are varied and eccentric. Puerto Morelos has the relaxed atmosphere of a Mexican fishing village. Playa del Carmen is filled with resorts—some of them All-Inclusive—that are as glitzy as those in Cancún and Cozumel. The beaches here, from Punta Tanchacté to Tulum, are beloved by scuba divers, snorkelers, bird-watchers, and beachcombers. Against this backdrop is Mayan culture. Although the modern Maya live in the cities and villages along the coast, their history can be seen at the ruins such as Tulum, where dramatic pyramids sit on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean, welcoming the sunrise each morning.

Before You Go
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.

Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory
Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.
