The Mexican Riviera

Mexico boasts over 1000 kilometers of Coastline on  the pacific coast , going all the way from Guatemala up to the northwestern Border near California. The majority of the Coast was mostly small fishing villages until about 1925, because a newly-built road had brought many tourists. Many Fancy hotels popped up in Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco, and both became world famous in the 60’s when Richard Burton and Liz Taylor made a moving-picture show called Night of the Iguana and decided to buy a resort by the beach .

The Government of Mexico pushed (quite heavily), the publicity of putting up motels and resorts around the seventies . They named the area of land between Puerto and Manzanillo ‘Costa de Oro’ meaning ‘Gold Coast’ . The whole coast , which is known as the Mexican Riviera (To the Cruise Industry in the USA) is famous for it’s beautiful scenery of golden beaches, jungle flora and picturesque cliffs

Mexican Riviera Cruises are one of the top attractions in Mexico, people travel from all over the place to see the amazing scenery in Mexico. The American Cruise industry is forever in debt to the Mexican Riviera. The Tourist Friendly and wildly scenic small towns along the Riviera were the main backdrop for the soppy show that everyone used to love “THE LOVE BOAT”. It made towns like Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta famous in the US and around the earth.

Nowadays, The Mexican Riviera is so widely known; it comes up against the GIANTS of cruise like the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and the Pacific. It’s very accessible to the US Public and reasonably affordable. The Mexican Riviera has built a flawless reputation amongst holiday buffsand cruise ship nutters so much that it’s become the 4^th  most popular cruise destination in the whole world.
