If you haven't been on a cruise ship (and 85% of Americans haven't!) you gotta try it! And taking a cruise to Mexico is the perfect combination of convenience, culture and fun. For those who like the idea of enjoying the many aspects of Mexico, but still want to have that comfortable travel format, a cruise in Mexico is the perfect combination!

Mexico offers 3 completely different cruise experiences. For those with only 3 or 4 days to spare, the cruises to northern BAJA are a great way to experience the flavor of Mexican cruising without committing a lot of time or money. For a more involved cruise, the MEXICAN RIVIERA offers 7 to 10 day cruising adventures that will give you memories of a lifetime. And if you want to experience a bit of the Caribbean, Mexico can accommodate you with it's delicious YUCATAN cruise destinations!

NEW IN 2006! Norwegian Cruise Line is adding an 8 day cruise round trip from Los Angeles to Acapulco when it's Norwegian Star begins service towards the end of the year.

At the begining of 2003 there were 167 cruise ships worldwide, entertaining 7.4 million passengers from North America alone. As an industry cruising has been seeing passenger growth averaging 8.4 % annually over the last 10 years, with revenues exceeding 13.8 billion worldwide. As big as the cruising industry is, it only captures 3% of the total vacation business in the U.S. But it is still big...and growing. Even with this growth the industry has become very competitive because of an oversupply of vessels. Because of this the cruise industry is changing. Advance booking dates are dropping from 90 days to something closer to 45 days, and the length of the trips is becoming shorter. While approximately one half of today's cruises are 6 to 8 days long, fully one third of today's cruises are only 2 to 5 days long. And these shorter cruises seem to be growing in popularity as travelers looking for a brief escape from the workplace take a stronger look at saying "Bon Voyage" to the boss for a few days. With Mexico as a premier cruise location in North America is it any wonder that Mexico cruising has seen and increase in bookings of 170% during the last 10 years!

In addition to the income cruise companies make by selling tickets, non-included items such as alcohol and gambling can add up to 40% more to the cruise company's income. Since these sins are optional they can be avoided. Tipping, the cruise industries fun little secret, is harder to avoid and can cost several hundred dollars per cabin on the average cruise.

The Cruise section of TRAVELOCITY also offers good rates for cruises.

Boaters with their own boat might find Mexico's NAUTICAL LADDER plan interesting. The idea is to build marinas all around Baja and on the northern portion of the Mexico mainland.


 

The 3 and 4 night cruises that slip south of the border from the United States usually depart from Los Angeles and head south to the port of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Some of these getaways drop the hook at Catalina Island and San Diego on the way down, before settling in at Ensenada.

Ensenada is a great port town for cruise ships for several good reasons. The main tourist area is just a couple of hundred yards from the port, so taking an excursion into town for shopping eating or drinking is a very easy process. There are dozens and dozens of shops on Ensenada's main street, Avenida Lopez Mateos. Restaurants and sidewalk cafes are a wonderful place to grab a bite to eat and people watch. One could spend hours just exploring all of these options and still not put a dent in the shops available. For further information check out the ENSENADA section of Mexico Expo.

Baja also offers special "Eco" cruises in it's unique Sea of Cortez. These cruise ships tend to be smaller and more intimate, and are the perfect way to enjoy the natural wonders of Baja without roughing it.

For further information on the cities in the Sea of Cortez drop by our BAJA web site!

Cruising Mexico's "Mexican Riviera" is the most popular way to see Mexico by
cruise ship. Most of these cruises depart from Los Angeles, and visit the Mexican port towns of Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Acapulco. Seven day cruises are the most popular, although 10 day cruises are sometimes available.

NEW IN 2004! Norwegian Cruise Line is adding an 8 day cruise round trip from Los Angeles to Acapulco when it's Norwegian Star begins service towards the end of the year.

On these cruises it is easy to get caught up in the comfort and convenience of the ship itself, and sometimes hard to find the energy to take the shoreboat into town. However, most people do make it into town at most ports, and are almost always glad they made the effort!

For more information on these ports of call drop by our web sites for CABO SAN LUCAS, PUERTO VALLARTA, MAZATLAN and ACAPULCO.

Ahhh..the Caribbean! One of the best kept secrets of Mexico is that it offers a Caribbean option as nice as or better than the other well known Caribbean destinations! These ports of call include Cancun, Cozumel and Play del Carmen (Mexico's best kept secret!).

Cancun is one spectacular mile of beach after another, with restaurants and nightlife second to none in Mexico. If you like to shop..."Honey, I'm home!". Cozumel offers some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world, and if you own a mask and snorkel this place has your name on it. Playa del Carmen is Mexico's best secret destination! It's a small but growing Mexican seaside village and host to some of the most impossibly clear aqua waters on Earth. Swimming in the warm ocean waters here is like wading in a dream!

For further information on the area drop by our web sites on CANCUN, COZUMEL and PLAYA DEL CARMEN!
