Mexican Riviera Cruises

Cruises to Mexico are now more affordable and are available tear - round lasting from three to fourteen days. Some even have itineraries that also include Central America. With Mexico being more affordable in the cruise market try one of the two basic types. Cruise the Mexican Riviera from California down to the Baja coast of Mexico, from Baja to Acapulco. With the climate being drier and less humid, horseback riding along the many beautiful beaches is a must thing to do along with the excellent fishing of course and other sports. This trip includes stops in Acapulco. Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and others.

Affordable cruises also leave out of the Gulf Ports of Houston, Galveston and New Orleans. These ships generally visit the Caribbean side of Mexico in the Yucatan Region.. The climate is warm and humid but he warm clear waters for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba - diving more than make up for the humidity. Relax on the beaches in Cancun or Cozumel and be sure to visit the ancient Mayan ruins at Uxmel, Tulun and Chichen Itza. These cruises are also Family Friendly.
