Cruise ship passengers must pay fee upon arriving in Mexico starting July 1

  • Starting July 1, 2025, cruise ship passengers arriving at Mexican ports must pay a new $5 per person tourism fee added to fares by cruise operators.
  • This fee replaces an initially planned $42 tax that was postponed after intense negotiations between the Mexican government and the cruise industry.
  • The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association , representing 95% of regional cruise capacity, helped secure the phased implementation to protect tourism and local economies.
  • The fee will rise gradually to $10 in August 2026, $15 in 2027, and $21 by August 2028, aiming to balance infrastructure funding with industry sustainability.
  • The agreement supports local communities dependent on cruise tourism and accompanies growth forecasts of 34% capacity in 2025 and 16% in 2026 for the region.
