Mexican Rivirea back for cruising in 2015

Over the last few years mainstream cruise companies have pulled out of Itineraries featuring Acapulco and other Mexican Riviera destinations. Only the uber plush cruise companies such as: Regent Seven Seas, Silversea and Oceania have continued to use this area.

Concerns over the safety of passengers in port and increased competition from destinations elsewhere are the main reasons... until now!!!!

2015 will see the return of Carnival Cruise Lines with year round Mexican Riviera itineraries

Norwegian Star is currently featuring Mazatlan as is Holland America Lines Veendam

Azamara have returned to the area this year

Princess Cruises will also return for 2015 sailings

So with improved passenger experiences at ports and staying true to Mexican Culture all to look forward to............. Whats not to like????? I don't know about you but im itching to go.....
