Mexico Cruises: The Complete 2026 Guide
From the Mexican Riviera to Baja California — here’s how to plan a Mexico cruise.
Mexico cruises split into two main regions: the Mexican Riviera (Pacific coast, sailing from Los Angeles or San Diego) and Baja California (shorter Pacific coast runs), plus Caribbean-side ports like Cozumel covered separately under our Caribbean guide. This guide focuses on the Pacific Mexico itineraries sailed by Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, and Celebrity.
