Since the reactivation of the cruise industry, the destination received a total of 57 cruise ships from January to March, to which the 22 scheduled arrivals for the month of April are added.
The official announced that according to the reports provided by the Administration of the Puerto Vallarta National Port System, SA de CV (ASIPONA PV), in the first three months of 2022, a total of 103,644 cruise ship passengers arrived in Puerto Vallarta, the highest number of them in the month of March.
