Grand Princess changes Mexican Riviera cruise route
Storm-related changes add San Diego and Mazatlán while removing three planned Mexican ports.
Grand Princess is sailing a different route after Hurricane Polo affected the West Coast and Mexico. The Princess Cruises ship left Los Angeles on Friday, September 25, 2026, for a ten-night voyage around Baja California and the Sea of Cortez.
The revised plan drops calls at La Paz, Guaymas and Puerto Vallarta. Cabo San Lucas remains on the schedule, but the visit is shorter, with the ship leaving late at night instead of staying for two days. San Diego was added to the voyage, including an overnight stop on September 26, 2026, and Mazatlán is another replacement destination.
Princess told passengers the changes were made to keep the vessel away from the hurricane and prioritize the wellbeing of guests and crew. Travelers who chose not to sail could cancel for a Future Cruise Credit equal to 100 percent of the base fare. Those who continued received a $100 onboard credit. The storm has also led Navigator of the Seas and Carnival Panorama to alter their plans.
