Puerto Vallarta, a prominent destination on Mexico's Pacific Riviera, is facing challenges in its efforts to accommodate the latest generation of large cruise ships. According to Arturo Musi Ganem, president of the Mexican Association of Companies for the Attention of Tourist Cruises (AMEPACT), inadequate port infrastructure has hindered the region’s growth and its ability to attract larger vessels, such as the Oasis of the Seas, a 362-meter-long ship that currently cannot dock at Puerto Vallarta’s port.
