Royal Caribbean to open “Perfect Day Mexico” in 2027

Royal Caribbean will open a “Perfect Day Mexico” experience in 2027, the cruise line announced Wednesday (Oct. 9).

Located along Mexico's Caribbean coast in the village of Mahahual (Quintana Roo state) near Costa Maya, Perfect Day Mexico promises to the company’s signature thrills and chills with Mexico’s charm.

It will be Royal Caribbean’s second “Perfect Day” vacation experience, adding to “Perfect Day at CocoCay” in the Bahamas, which opened in 2019.

“Perfect Day at CocoCay has been a gamechanger for both our guests and our business. With travelers prioritizing unique experiences and destinations driving their booking decisions, we’re excited to expand our Perfect Day Collection by creating Perfect Day Mexico to super serve guests who want to explore the Western Caribbean,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group, in a press release. “Our momentum for reimagining the ultimate vacation experience for guests of all ages continues as we help guests turn the vacation of a lifetime into a lifetime of vacations across our brands.” 

New ways to make memories

Along with Royal Beach Club Cozumel, the recently announced beach experience in Cozumel, Mexico, will introduce new adventures in the western Caribbean.

Vacationers have in store a lineup of experiences and locally-inspired twists across the design, flavours and spirit. With more to be revealed, highlights include an all-new waterpark, pools and beaches, restaurants, bars, music and more.

“Since the introduction of Perfect Day at CocoCay in 2019, our top-rated destination, the memories made by millions have paved the way for the unbelievable experience that will be Perfect Day Mexico,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Destinations are a big part of why families and adventurers vacation with Royal Caribbean, and in collaboration with Mexico’s state of Quintana Roo, we are unlocking new and unparalleled ways to make memories in a destination known and loved for its natural beauty, warm culture and prime location. We look forward to revealing more soon.” 

The new Perfect Day also promises to be a “modern, sustainable destination” that advances Royal Caribbean’s partnership with the local government.

“We are very excited that Royal Caribbean has decided to invest in Mahahual, a land of opportunity and hard-working people. Under the framework of the Well Being and Development Accord and the new era of tourism, my administration is looking forward to working very closely with the company to ensure a sustainable destination that brings shared prosperity to the region and that our local communities are part of this historic investment. I am sure that guests will be marveled by the beauties that southern Quintana Roo has to offer but most importantly, the kindness of our people,” said Mara Lezama, governor of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

More details about Perfect Day Mexico will be revealed in the coming months, Royal Caribbean said.
