Princess Cruises have cancelled visits to the Mexican port of Puerto Vallarta for three Sapphire Princess voyages.

The 19 November, 10 December and 31 December itineraries will be affected with Ensanada and a 2-day visit to Cabo San Lucas scheduled instead.

 “Our security department continues to monitor the actions taking place in specific areas of Mexico.  As the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and based on the continued violence in these areas, we've made the decision to cancel our calls to Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan,” the cruise line reported in a statement to e-Travel Blackboard.
