Holland America will be sailing 20 cruises across the Mexican Riviera in the upcoming 2019-2020 cruise season.

That includes 20 cruises across three ships, led by a series of seven-day itineraries aboard the line’s Oosterdam and Eurodam ships.

All of the cruises are sailing roundtrip from San Diego, part of a growing cruise network across several cruise lines in California.

Every cruise will stop in three ports of call in Mexico, including an overnight in Puerto Vallarta, along with Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas.

“Mexico continues to be a top cruise choice among our guests because it offers such a rich experience, from warm weather and beautiful beaches to diverse cultural and culinary landscapes,” said Orlando Ashford, president of Holland America Line. “By visiting several iconic ports within this captivating country, we’re able to provide guests with an authentic, immersive experience that leaves them with a deeper understanding of this colorful part of the world.”

The longest option? A 12-day “EXC In-Depth” sailing on April 3, 2020 that will stop in seven different ports in Mexico, including Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz, Loreto, Guaymas and Topolobampo.
