Mexican Riviera cruises and Baja Mexico cruises are what comes to mind for most people when they are thinking about a Mexico cruise deal. However, many Western Caribbean cruise itineraries make port calls on the east coast of Mexico. Mexican east coast ports include Calica, Progreso, Costa Maya, and, the most popular Mexican east coast cruise port of call, Cozumel. If you are looking for port calls in Cozumel, or, other Mexican east coast ports, look for Western Caribbean cruises of 5 or more nights departing from either Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Galveston or New Orleans. From Mobile, there are unique cruise itineraries that feature port calls in Progresso (Yucatan Peninsula) and Calica, Mexico, which is just 3 miles from Playa del Carmen.
