A compromise has emerged regarding cruise ship fees in Mexico, with the fee reduced from $42 to $5 per passenger starting July 1. This fee will gradually increase to $10 by August 2026, $15 by July 2027, and $21 by August 2028, although future adjustments post-2028 are unspecified. The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association confirmed the agreement, emphasizing its importance for sustaining cruise tourism and benefiting local economies. Mexico remains a key cruise destination, and industry insiders predict significant growth in cruise capacity in the coming years.
The fee begins on July 1, starting at $5 per guest and rising to $10 in 2026, $15 in 2027, and $21 in 2028.
We thank the Federal Government of Mexico for working with us to reach an 'in transit fee' agreement that safeguards cruise tourism.
Mexico has been and will continue to be an important destination for cruises, with growth expected at 34% in 2025.
The agreement aims to enhance the benefits for local communities whose livelihoods depend on cruise tourism.
