Mexico is one of the most popular destinations for short cruises from Miami. Many Miami cruises sail to the Island of Cozumel, located off the east coast of Mexico. Other popular east coast Mexico destinations include Cancun, Progresso and Costa Maya.
A few cruises from Miami travel through the Panama Canal and up the western coast of Mexico, stopping in west coast ports such Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán, and Cabo San Lucas on the Baja Peninsula.
NOTE: Although we try to a maintain an up-to-date list of ships that cruise to various destinations, cruise lines do sometimes make fleet and itinerary changes. Therefore, we recommend confirming cruise itineraries on the official cruise line websites.
