Puerto Vallarta’s Cruise Port Terminal has been rated the top Mexican Riviera & South America Destination at the Cruise Critic® first-ever Cruisers’ Choice Destination Awards. The world’s leading cruise reviews site and online cruise community based its ranking on consumer ratings submitted with reviews to the Cruise Critic website, cruisecritic.com. The awards praise destinations across 15 regions, worldwide.

Puerto Vallarta was ranked number one in the region, followed by Buenos Aires and Cartagena. The port city is one of Mexico’s leading tourism destinations because of its stunning Bay of Banderas surrounded by the lush Sierra Madre mountains and rich colonial architecture of its city center. Today the 98-year-old Mexican city is a world-class destination where cruises are welcomed with Mariachi bands and can enjoy a wide array of activities.

Puerto Vallarta’s Cruise Port Terminal is currently undergoing an extensive three-year renovation with an investment of over 320 million pesos (About 17 million USD). Construction will be done during off seasons and new to the port will be a tequila factory, an aquarium and a welcome center.

From January to August of this year, 83 cruises have made calls upon the destination, compared to 72 calls for the same period in 2015. 199,565 cruise passengers visited Puerto Vallarta compared to 173,978. It is estimated that Puerto Vallarta will receive over 350,000 cruise passengers by the end of this year.

“Vallarta Lifestyles was the first reliable magazine that emerged in our destination. In fact, up to date is the only publication that we have in Puerto Vallarta that you can be proud of, because if you give it to someone, you know that person will enjoy watching the photos and reading the articles in each of its pages. I consider, that it is the only magazine that prevails in Vallarta · Nayarit as an icon of this genre”.

“We, who advertise in Vallarta Lifestyles, are people that invest in our businesses, because we keep our presence in the market. It is and it has always been a beautiful and elegant magazine. Thanks to it, we have clients in a direct or indirect way.”

Claire Guarniere

Galleria Dante

“One of the biggest benefits of advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles is that a lot of readers keep it as a bible. People have arrived to our gallery looking for the pieces that are in the advertisements published 5 or 6 years ago, and that’s really valuable for us. Besides being an excellent magazine where is possible to find the newest in the destination, it is a publication dedicated to the public we want to reach and keep.”
