Cruise passengers heading to Mexico this summer will have to pay fee. Here's how much it'll cost you
- Starting July 1, 2025, cruise passengers docking at any Mexican port must pay a new tourism tax when visiting Mexico this summer.
- The introduction of the tax was postponed and adjusted following negotiations with the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association, which accounts for the vast majority of cruise operations in the Caribbean and Latin American regions.
- An agreement between the FCCA and the Mexican government lowered the initial tax from $42 to $5 and requires cruise companies to collect the fee ahead of passengers disembarking.
- The tax will increase gradually to $10 on August 1, 2026; $15 on July 1, 2027; and jump to $21 on August 1, 2028, aiming to support local communities reliant on cruise tourism.
- The FCCA said the cruise industry contributed roughly $1 billion USD last year and emphasized that the agreement safeguards tourism while fostering shared growth in Mexico.
