Royal Caribbean has reportedly cancelled cruise ship stops at a Mexican port following a travel advisory not to go to the city.
The US State Department recently revised advice for popular cruise destinations in Mexico, including a level 4 “do not travel” warning for Manzanillo on Colima’s Pacific Coast due to crime and kidnapping.
State-specific advice for Colima says: “Violent crime and gang activity are widespread. Most homicides are targeted assassinations against members of criminal organizations. Shooting incidents between criminal groups have injured or killed bystanders.”
Travel for US government employees is limited to only the “tourist and port areas of Manzanillo”, with employees travelling to Manzanillo from Guadalajara instructed to “use Federal Toll Road 54D during daylight hours”.
Miami-based cruise line Royal Carribean has pulled out of port calls to Manzanillo, but Carnival’s Princess Cruises still features the city on itineraries departing in February and September 2025.
The Independent has contacted Royal Caribbean for comment.
