Puerto Vallarta Will Welcome 21 Cruise Ships in November

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The renowned beach destination of Puerto Vallarta commences November with a significant influx of international cruise ship arrivals, promising substantial economic inflow for the local community. The bustling port city anticipates the arrival of 21 cruise ships throughout the month, which includes two days with triple ship arrivals and four with double.

On Wednesday, the port welcomed two impressive vessels from Mazatlán, Sinaloa – the Discovery Princess and the Koningsdam. The Discovery Princess arrived with a total of 3,516 passengers and 1,367 crew members, while the Koningsdam docked with 2,446 passengers and 981 crew, contributing to a total of 8,310 visitors for the day. This surge of nearly 6,000 passengers is expected to generate approximately $750,000 in economic benefits for local service providers, merchants, and various stakeholders involved in the tourism industry.

The scheduling for this maritime ballet includes two triple arrivals, anticipated on Tuesday, November 7, and Thursday, November 16, with additional double arrivals occurring today, as well as on the consecutive days of Tuesday, November 15, and Wednesday, November 22.

Of notable mention is the return of the Norwegian Bliss to Puerto Vallarta’s welcoming shores. This leviathan of the seas, one of the largest cruise ships globally, measures a staggering 333 meters in length, can host up to 4,000 passengers, over 1,700 crew members, and displaces more than 168,000 tons of gross weight.

The National Geographic vessels Sea Lion and Sea Bird are also highlighted among the esteemed guests for November’s triple arrival on the 16th. These smaller, 45-meter long ships are tailored for expedition cruises, capable of traversing through narrower and wildlife-rich spaces that are inaccessible to their larger counterparts. They offer a more intimate capacity for 62 passengers, featuring spacious observation decks, and are designed to deliver both adventure and research-oriented voyages.

The month’s schedule underscores Puerto Vallarta’s prominent position in the cruise industry and reflects the city’s readiness to host a significant number of international tourists. The arrival of these vessels is a testament to the port’s capacity and commitment to contributing to the vibrant tourist sector, which remains a cornerstone of Puerto Vallarta’s economy. The local businesses and the tourism service sector are gearing up for a busy month, ensuring that the visitors’ experiences will sustain the city’s reputation as a premier cruise destination.
