Mazatlan, Mexico Home of the largest shrimp fleet in the world, this cosmopolitan resort city tempts with every variation of this tasty crustacean: grilled, al mojo de ajo (with garlic), or in the shell with a tangy squeeze of lime.

Sample shore excursions available through the cruise line: Deluxe City Tour with Papantla Fliers; Old Mazatlan Walking Tour; Deer Island Kayak; Sierra Madre; Concordia & Copala. |
