EXPLORER'S SPIRIT

Get out of your comfort zone and discover an untamed wilderness, where you can dive into an underground cave or encounter ancient ruins with the best Mexico cruises.

THE PAST PRESERVED

Discover why Mexico is one of the most impressive civilizations in the world when you experience its Mayan ruins at Tulum, Ek Balam or Chichen Itza and its Aztec roots at Tenochtitlan and Templo Mayor, harkening back thousands of years of history.

It's easy to get in touch with Mother Nature when you're in Mexico. Tours take you through cenotes, expansive underground caverns, or on rainforest safaris where you can spot iguanas, macaws and other colorful wildlife.

COAST CALLS

Reach the beach and soak, surf or snorkel in Mexico's clear waters, then stroll over soft sands and discover ancient ruins by the sea in places like Cozumel and Cabo San Lucas. More seascapes are found in Playa Progreso in Yucatan, Costa Sur in Puerto Vallarta, Cacaluta in Huatulco and Mahahual in Costa Maya, all of which provide those frame-ready vistas synonymous with Mexico.

GET A TASTE OF THE CULTURE

Mexico's cities and towns offer a wealth of cultural gems. You'll find everything from high art to colorful villages brimming with life and tradition on your cruise to Mexico.

DIG INTO LOCAL LIFE

Mexico's sprawling urban areas show you the lively side of this rich country. Stop by Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Cancun or Puebla to see the bustling streets filled with restaurants, bars and stores, the busy plazas with vendors offering local food and candy, and the charming colonial neighborhoods with colorful flowers dripping from balconies.

From colorful skull souvenirs — a throwback to the ancient practice of honoring passed-on ancestors — and charming sombreros to Mayan temples and colonial-era architecture, Mexico is a treasure trove of the visual arts. You can get a glimpse of the country's most renowned artist, Frida Kahlo, at the Frida Kahlo Museum in Playa del Carmen.

TASTY TEMPTATIONS

Mexico is a kaleidoscope of unique regional cuisines, all equally flavor-packed. In Oaxaca, taste your way through the varieties of rich mole sauces, and in Yucatan explore fresh flavors in dishes heavy with citrus and spice, like cochinita pibil, the shredded pork that fills one of Mexico's most-loved taco styles.

Best Mexico Cruises

A cruise to Mexico is filled with exciting destinations, each with its own style and vibe. Discover Mexico onboard the Best Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships.

Mexican Riviera Cruises

Mexico’s wild west coast offers just as much natural beauty, vibrant culture and sun-kissed adventures as its eastern counterpart, the Riviera Maya. Cruise from Los Angeles onboard the Amplified Navigator of the Seas® to Baja’s brightest jewels, like foodie-favorite Ensenada, fun-loving Cabo , charming Mazatlán and scenic Puerto Vallarta .

Explore Cruises To The Mexican Riviera

THE GREAT GULF

Cruise the Yucatan Peninsula, which separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico, and discover Mexico's Caribbean side. Stop in Cozumel island, off the east coast of Yucatan , and enjoy the bright-blue waters and untouched paradise appeal.

Explore Cozumel & Cancun Cruises

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.

Haggling on prices at local markets is par for the course here — just make sure you know a few words of Spanish, and don't ask the vendor to go unreasonably low.

Mexico's tiered bus system is a great way to get around affordably: Choose the first ("primero") or platinum ("platino") options for the high-end treatment.

There's a more lax attitude about time in Mexico so factor in an extra half-hour to an hour when planning out your Mexico cruise itineraries.

FOR THE FOODIE'S SABROSO IS THE WORD

Sabroso means delicious, which is synonymous with Mexico's cuisine. Known the world over for its originality when it comes to multilayered flavors that focus on spice, Mexican food boasts dishes like mole, cochinita pibil and tacos al pastor. When in Mexico, go where the locals are eating and enjoy the salsas, the spices and the crunch.

MOLE POBLANO

A saucy and popular delicacy, mole poblano is made with chili peppers and chocolate and is poured over chicken and then topped with sesame seeds.

Tamales are a steamed masa, or a corn-based dough filled with meats, cheeses, vegetables, chili peppers or fruits. The masa is wrapped inside of a leaf and steamed. Discard the leaf and chow down on the stuffed dough for a traditional treat.

CHILAQUILES

Fried tortillas take a swim in spicy red salsa or refreshing green salsa for a savory dish commonly enjoyed during breakfast.

RELATED PORTS

In Mexico, you can explore an array of culturally unique cities like Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Cozumel, as well as cruise ports such as Huatulco, Costa Maya and the Yucatan. And the best way to get to know these places is by arriving from the water.

Luxury 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 luxury 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.

Cruise to Mexico

Why go on a cruise to mexico.

Mexico cruises in 2024 offer a range of itineraries that allow you to visit multiple destinations such as Puerto Costa Maya , Cancun , Ensenada , Cozumel , and more. A Cancun cruise, Ensenada cruise, and Cozumel cruise allow you to sail the seas around Mexico and enjoy their crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and activities such as snorkeling, diving, or simply relaxing in the sun. A Carnival cruise to Mexico in 5 days is also a popular choice for those looking for a fun-filled vacation, while a 3-day cruise to Mexico is a fantastic option for those who have limited time but still want to get a taste of Mexico. Opt for 4-day cruises to Mexico from Florida in 2024 if you’re looking to escape the US and experience the rich culture of Mexico.

How to find cheap cruises to Mexico?

To find lower Mexico cruise prices on Expedia, simply sort your search results by price to put the most affordable options at the top of the list. You will be able to find some of the best deals for your 3-day cruise to Mexico from Los Angeles or a 3-day all-inclusive cruise to Mexico. The cruise company also matters: Celebrity Cruises offers a more premium luxury experience while Carnival Cruises keeps cruise tickets to Mexico more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that flexible dates can also help you secure more affordable prices for a 4 or 5-day cruise. If you can, book your trip for 2025 rather than splurging on a last-minute journey. But if you're looking to go on a cruise to Mexico in 2024, Expedia often has great Mexico cruise deals.

What are some of the best cruise lines to Mexico?

Several of the best cruise lines to Mexico are available on Expedia, including Carnival , Disney , and Celebrity , all of which offer great cruise vacations to Mexico with such features as world-class live entertainment, shows, and activities for kids aged from 3 to 17. These cruise lines offer Cancun cruises, Baja cruises, 4-day cruises from Mexico to Florida, cruises from San Francisco to Mexico, and even Puerto Vallarta cruises. You can choose from various cruise durations, such as a 3-day cruise to Mexico, a 4-day cruise to Mexico, or even a weekend cruise to Mexico. There are also different points of departure, such as a 5-day Mexico cruise from Long Beach or a 3-day cruise from San Diego. Additionally, you have the option to utilize search filters to display results only from specific cruise lines or even specific cruise ships that you're interested in.

How can I find good Mexico cruise deals?

To find Mexico cruise deals on Expedia, keep an eye out for the green discount marker on the search result situated above the price estimate. This marker will indicate the maximum discount available on the deal currently running for that booking. Whether you’re looking for a 3-day Mexico cruise all-inclusive or a 7-day cruise to Mexico, be sure to check the details of the offer to see what's included. Keep in mind as well that a 4-night cruise to Catalina and Ensenada will provide a richer experience compared to a 3-day cruise to Mexico that solely visits Ensenada.

What should I look out for when booking cruise tickets to Mexico?

Location is one of the most important things you should consider when planning your cruise to Mexico in 2024. If you prefer a more upscale Mexico cruise trip which stops at more diverse locations, go with a Riviera Mexico cruise ship. A cruise to Riviera Maya will allow you to visit sparkling Caribbean beaches, have fun at adventure parks deep in the jungle, and go diving on beautiful reefs. On the other hand, Baja Mexico cruises usually stop at fewer locations which are likely to be cheaper. Baja Mexico cruises feature beautiful beaches, stunning desert landscapes, and great scuba diving. Timing is another decision-making element when it comes to Mexico cruise ship prices, you have various options such as a 5-day day from Florida or a 3-day cruise from Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas. Early fall is usually the low season when you can find discount cruises to Mexico. June to August is a highly popular period when many people opt for a cruise to Mexico, which can result in higher prices.

Where are the best places to go on a cruise to Mexico?

Mexico is home to some of the best cruise destinations, including Ensenada , Cancun , Cozumel, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta. Some longer 5 or 7-day cruises that travel to Mexico may include multiple stops, providing the opportunity to explore various locations along the enchanting Mexican coastline with its pristine beaches and welcoming shores. Riviera Maya cruises offer an abundance of destinations within close proximity, allowing for visits to numerous different locations. Cruises along the west coast of Mexico typically require longer travel distances between each stop, resulting in more time spent on the ship. You can take a cruise to Mexico from departure ports, such as a 3-day cruise to Mexico from Long Beach, or a 5-day cruise from Florida or San Francisco to Mexico .

When is the best time to go on a cruise in Mexico?

The optimal time for experiencing some of the finest cruises in Mexico is typically during the winter months, specifically from November to January. During this period, the crowds are generally smaller, allowing for a more intimate experience, and the weather remains warm and clear. However, December can be especially busy for a winter month due to the influx of holiday travelers. If you're planning a 7-day cruise in Mexico or a 5-day cruise, Expedia is on hand to help you find the options and itinerary to suit you.

How long does it take to go to Mexico by cruise ship?

If you travel from popular departure ports like New Orleans and Los Angeles , it will only take about a day or so to reach Mexico. For a longer journey, you could choose a 4-day cruise, a 5-day cruise or a 7-day cruise. Different cruise ships drive at different speeds, so your destination in Mexico also plays a role: a cruise to Puerto Vallarta from Los Angeles, for example, can take longer than a 2- or 3-night cruise to Mexico. If you have limited time, opt for a 3-day all-inclusive cruise.

What are some great luxury cruises to Mexico?

You'll find some of the best luxury cruises to Mexico with Carnival and Celebrity . Specifically, the Carnival Sunrise cruise to Mexico boasts several restaurants and bars, a state-of-the-art spa facility, and a pool on the deck complete with winding waterslides. If you're seeking the ultimate luxury experience, consider the Harmony of the Seas from Royal Caribbean for a 7-day cruise in 2024. This magnificent ship offers a variety of amenities including a spa and fitness center, a sports zone, a park area, a boardwalk section, and live entertainment, making your cruise to Mexico truly unforgettable.

What are some good all-inclusive cruises to Mexico?

Norwegian and Royal Caribbean offer 3 day all-inclusive cruises to Mexico. These cruises' all-inclusive offerings reflect some of the best of what Mexico has to offer, including authentic dining so you can expect to enjoy delicious Mexican cuisine even before you reach the shore. Just relax and let the cruise line plan everything for you: your room, food, and entertainment will have already been paid for and arranged before you get on board the boat.

What's a great family cruise to Mexico?

When booking a 4- or 5-day Mexico cruise vacation for the whole family, Disney and Carnival tend to offer some of the best options that ensure all ages can have fun on their cruise to Mexico. Disney cruises often feature special shows with classic Disney characters that both kids and adults know and love. Imagine seeing Donald Duck in his little sailor costume on your cruise! A lot of the entertainment on Disney cruises is specifically catered to children too, but there are separate adult areas if you're looking to unwind with a bit of quiet. Another good option is the Horizon ship by Carnival cruise, featuring several outdoor pools, a Dr. Seuss-themed water park, and an IMAX movie theater.

What are some of the best Mexico honeymoon cruises?

A luxurious cruise on the Queen Mary 2 or the MSC Seashore are just 2 examples of great honeymoon cruises to Mexico for a 7-day cruise or 5-day cruise in 2024. The Queen Mary 2 by Cunard Cruises is outfitted with numerous luxury amenities and fine dining experiences, along with attentive staff who are personally dedicated to helping you make those precious memories on your 3-day cruise to Cabo San Lucas or other dreamy destinations. Meanwhile, the MSC Seashore by MSC Cruises will let you and your partner enjoy the journey to Mexico with luxurious staterooms, a spa facility, and even an onboard casino.

Can I book a weekend cruise to Mexico?

You can find a weekend cruise by sorting your search results by duration. A weekend Mexico cruise vacation is possible as long as you depart from a port in the southern United States, such as Miami, and don't venture too far south. For example, you can consider a 3-day cruise to Mexico from Florida. A weekend cruise to Mexico will typically involve leaving on Friday, enjoying Saturday or the entire weekend in a destination like Cozumel, and then returning on Monday.

How do I book a cruise to Mexico on Expedia?

To book a 5-day cruise to Mexico or a 3-day cruise on Expedia, the best strategy is to take advantage of available deals and try different dates to find the best savings. You can use Expedia's convenient search tools to narrow down the results. Once you've found a cruise you're satisfied with, booking a cruise on Expedia is quick and easy.

Do I need a passport for a cruise trip to Mexico?

For a 3-day cruise from California or a 5-day cruise from Florida in 2024 to Mexico, you always need a passport to visit Mexico, unless you're embarking on a closed-loop cruise to Mexico. A closed-loop cruise begins and ends in an American port. If your cruise, for example, sets out from Galveston , sails to Tulum , and then returns to Galveston, that's a closed loop you won't need a passport for. It is, however, always advisable to bring a passport when visiting a foreign country in case the unexpected happens.

Can I cancel a cruise booking?

Yes, you can cancel your cruise booking through the My Trips page on your Expedia account or by contacting Expedia customer service. Keep in mind that every cruise line has a different cancellation policy, so your refund will depend on which cruise line you book with, how far in advance you cancel, and if your cruise line charges a cancellation fee.

Why should I book a cruise to Mexico with Expedia?

Whether you’re looking for a 4-day cruise to Mexico from Long Beach or a 7-day cruise from Florida, with Expedia's huge inventory and advanced search filters, it's easy to find and book a Mexico cruise in 2024. You can book cruises to places all over Mexico, from the adventure parks of the Riviera Maya to the beautiful coral reefs of Baja Mexico. Plus, One Key members may even earn points on their booking, so join for free if you haven't already.

About Mexico Cruises

Most cruises to Mexico stop by the region that the cruise industry calls the “Mexican Riviera,” so nicknamed for its colorful oceanfront towns and long stretches of golden, glistening coastline. Whether your cruise ports include Baja California, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Cozumel or Ensenada, the destinations possibilities are endless.

Itineraries are split, naturally, by the two oceans. To experience the Gulf of Mexico on the east coast, join a cruise through the Caribbean and stop at Grand Cayman on your way to Costa Maya. The Mexican Riviera is compact enough for short journeys, with 3-night cruises available from Long Beach and San Diego that journey along Baja California. Other west coast departure ports such as Los Angeles , San Francisco , and Vancouver offer 4-, 5-, 7-, or 12+ night sailings to Mexico. A longer cruise to Mexico will give you more time in some of the best ports and may take you up into the Sea of Cortez too.

Mexico cruises offer a sunny getaway year-round, with August and September offering some of the best Mexico cruise deals, due to the hot weather.

What to Do on a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera

The Malecon

Spend an entire day walking along the Malecon, Puerto Vallarta’s beach boardwalk. Shop for regionally crafted goods — like woven baskets or a pair of leather boots — and meet the locals who created them. Stop for lunch at a nearby restaurant, where you can enjoy delicacies like tamales and pozole with a seafront view. Or watch street performers sing and dance, and get up close to larger-than-life sand sculptures.

Mazatlan Cathedral

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.

Medano Beach

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.

Mexican Riviera Excursions

On a seven-day Mexico cruise or a 10-day itinerary, you can find expertly crafted excursions on every itinerary. Zipline across forests and rappel down waterfalls in Puerto Vallarta. Spend the day catching marlin and tuna in the world-class fishing port of Mazatlan. Or scuba dive through Cabo’s protected marine sanctuary. With excursions for every traveler, see why we’re named one of the best cruises to the Mexican Riviera.

Weather for Mexico Cruise in november?

By rgaudet , August 16, 2011 in Princess Cruises

Recommended Posts

Thinking of doing a cruise from LA to Mexico in November. Has anyone done this before and what has the weather been like, particularly at sea along the Baja coast. I'm assuming I can expect hot in CAbo.

We did a Mexican Riviera cruise for Thanksgiving one year and the weather was really nice. Not too hot and humid like it is in the summer, but very comfortably warm. The water was warm too. We didn't make it into Cabo that trip due to high winds and surf, but overall the weather was really pleasant.

Gail & Marty sailing away

It will be warm

Thanks. How were the seas...rough?

Not too bad. There was a front going through that created some wind and high seas, hence not getting into Cabo that time because of concerns about tendering, but on the ship it wasn't uncomfortable.

It can be cool the first day out of LA and the last day coming back.

We did this cruise last Nov and the one before...

The weather was Great....I hate it when its to Hot/Humid and it was Perfect....

Had 1 sea day that was rough coming back but barable....:D.

Because everyone's view of "perfection" is different, can I ask if it was warm enough to lie out in the sun every day, say 80 or warmer?

Perhaps once you get into the waters off Mexico it may be that warm for each of those days. However, heading out of and back into CA waters it may not be that warm. It is difficult to predict. November can be a very warm month in CA, or if the winter storms hit early can be cold and sometimes even rainy. Or it can be cool and foggy with a heavy marine layer almost anytime of year depending on conditions. So there is really no certain answer. I would doubt that in November you will find the temp at 80 degrees or warmer each and everyday of your cruise. Maybe part of the days.

Done this cruise 3 times, once in Oct once in Nov and once in Jan, weather temp is very warm, except first sea and last sea day. All three times the sea was very rough coming back on the last sea day. We once had to skip Cabo, as the captain needed to slow the ship down to 8-12 knots to keep the passengesr comfortable. he needed the extra day to make in to LA in time.

That's probably not going to be an issue on this particular cruise as PV and Mazatlan have been eliminated, replaced by a two day stay at Cabo and one day at Ensenada. So if we don't make Cabo, there's gonna be some mighty unhappy cruisers!
