Overview

  • Governor Rubén Rocha Moya announced the registration of the Home Port proposal and said it was presented to President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.
  • The state estimates a 400–450 million peso investment to remodel and expand the existing cruise terminal.
  • Officials outlined a conceptual design with a new cruise access point, upgraded facilities, souvenir shops, and recreational areas.
  • The envisioned terminal would support embarkation and overnight stays for cruisers, with capacity for about 2,000 passengers.
  • Authorities note Mazatlán currently serves cruise itineraries only as a stop, and they contend this would be the first Home Port in Mexico, with further steps to be pursued with SECTUR.
