In 2 years, the first Sea of Cortez cruise route will begin in Puerto Peñasco. Officials from Cruise & Maritime Voyages, part of the Global Maritime Group, made the announcement today accompanied by Rocky Point Mayor Ernesto ‘Kiko’ Munro.
Accompanied by Nicholas Tragakes, CEO of Clobal Maritime Group, and other company officials, the Mayor stated that Puerto Peñasco would be the port of origin, and final destination, i.e. A Home Port.
He explained that Cruise & Maritime Voyages currently intends to provide tourist services in 2019 in the holiday destinations of Acapulco, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Luca; while in 2020 it will tentatively expand its cruise route in the Sea of Cortez in the cities of Topolobampo, Guaymas, Santa Rosalia, Loreto, La Paz, and the destination of Puerto Peasco.
For his part, Nicholas Tragakes, Global Maritime Group CEO, thanked Mayor Kiko Munro for the interest shown and facilities available to expand maritime connectivity, and cruise routes with Cruise Maritime Voyages.
“Puerto Peñasco is located in a privileged place and we are interested in having maritime connectivity,” said the CEO of the Global Maritime Group. “The new cruise route is attractive due to the proximity to the United States border, since it has air and land connectivity that is very important for us.”
