Puerto Vallarta has solidified its position as one of Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations, and its appeal extends to the cruise ship industry.

Cruise ships that dock at the Puerto Vallarta’s ASIPONA (National Port System Administration) come from a variety of lines and sizes, ranging from private superyachts to gigantic cruise ships that can accommodate thousands of passengers. These passengers can enjoy a wide range of amenities and activities on board, such as casinos, spas, themed restaurants, water parks and shows.

On the other hand, Puerto Vallarta’s port infrastructure is modern and efficient, making it easy for passengers to embark and disembark. Actually, they can visit the city’s main attractions through short guided tours.

The average cruise ship stop in Puerto Vallarta is 24 hours, although this can vary depending on the itinerary of each ship.

In fact, the itineraries of the cruise ships that visit Puerto Vallarta are very varied. Many include other popular destinations in the Mexican Pacific, such as Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos. There are also itineraries that extend into Central America, such as Costa Rica and Panama.

Popular cruise lines visiting Puerto Vallarta include Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line.

Testimonials

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”
Richard Bartholomew
General Manager
The Agency Punta de Mita

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."
Leonardo Uribe
General manager
Arq-Espacio

“We started to advertise 7 or 8 years ago and certainly it has helped us position our brand. Now that we have improved a lot in quality, processes and finished products, our marketing in the magazine is precisely to strengthen the leadership we have earned through the 13 years in the area. I also think that we also have grown with the advertisement and that it has been done and it has helped us get to where we are now.”
