All cruise ships that had planned to dock in Puerto Vallarta have been canceled. This decision was implemented to protect citizens and to prevent tourists from traveling from countries with a high rate of positive coronavirus cases entering the city.

Some cruise lines are expecting to resume activities by the end of May 2020. These companies are American Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, Emerald Waterways, Celestyal Cruises, and Disney. Although these companies are hoping to reopen within a short amount of time, it all depends on the contingency of the virus and whether it’s in the best interests of the citizens whether they will dock in Puerto Vallarta.
