Perfect Day Mexico, expected to be completed in 2027 and span over 200 acres of coastline, complete with the cruise port, a waterpark, the longest lazy river in the world, an adults-only pool area, a premium beach club option and an area for partying. The destination will also provide 12 dining options and 24 drinking options. 

According to Riviera Maya News, the cruise line made the announcement of the port’s takeover on July 11, noting that the cruise port will not close during the two-year building process. The building process is estimated at around $600 million. The destination will also be linked to the Maya Train tourist route. 

Royal Caribbean paid $292 million for the port and 34 nearby properties. As part of the agreement, the port will continue allowing all cruise ships to dock there; it will not be exclusive to Royal Caribbean.
