A World-Class Floating Hotel
This coming Sunday, residents of Puerto Vallarta will have the chance to witness a unique event: the arrival of the impressive Celebrity Summit cruise ship at the Puerto Vallarta Port Terminal. This ship, considered a true masterpiece of naval engineering, will dock at 7:00 a.m., but ASIPONA PV (Puerto Vallarta National Port System Administration) invites residents and visitors to come starting at 9:00 a.m. to enjoy an unforgettable family experience.
ASIPONA PV has prepared special access for the public to closely admire this majestic cruise ship. The doors will be open for free, making this event accessible to everyone. To ensure entry, all you need to do is visit the ASIPONA PV reception from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., to obtain a wristband that will guarantee access on Sunday.
The Celebrity Summit, built in 2001 and renovated in 2019, is a symbol of luxury and sophistication on the seas. With the capacity to carry up to 2,590 passengers and a highly trained crew, this ship is a jewel of the Celebrity Cruises fleet. Its length of 294 meters and cutting-edge design offer travelers an experience akin to that of a five-star floating hotel.
The 2019 renovation, which came at a significant cost, included the modernization of its facilities, updated interiors, and the incorporation of new technologies, making it a benchmark of luxury in the cruise industry. The Celebrity Summit offers a wide range of services, from world-class restaurants and entertainment areas to luxury spas and pools, all designed to provide passengers with a first-class experience.
Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico’s most important tourist destinations, and its port frequently hosts large-scale cruise ships. However, the arrival of the Celebrity Summit is a special occasion that ASIPONA PV wants to share with the local community. For this reason, Vallartans are encouraged to attend with their families, bringing children, nephews, friends, or parents to witness this imposing ship up close.
The experience promises to be exciting not only for navigation enthusiasts or the curious but also for those interested in learning about the logistics behind the operation of a cruise ship of this size. Visitors will be able to observe how port logistics work, the disembarkation of passengers, and how the port team coordinates all the necessary maneuvers for the ship’s successful arrival.
The opening of the Port Terminal gates to witness the arrival of the Celebrity Summit is completely free. Registration in advance at ASIPONA PV offices is required to obtain the wristband for entry. This gesture highlights the port administration's intention to bring this type of experience closer to locals, allowing them to enjoy an event that might otherwise be inaccessible.
Additionally, this is a unique opportunity, as it is rare to have the chance to observe a cruise ship of this level up close and learn about its operations. Puerto Vallarta, being one of the main tourist ports on the Pacific, is one of the few destinations where residents have such privileged access.
The Celebrity Summit has set trends in the cruise world not only for its size and capacity but also for its focus on sustainability and innovation. During its renovation, improvements were made to its propulsion system to reduce its carbon footprint, as well as energy efficiency upgrades to its facilities.
Passengers who choose to travel aboard the Celebrity Summit enjoy luxurious cabins, some with private balconies offering stunning views of the sea. The onboard restaurants are helmed by renowned international chefs, and available activities range from yoga classes to world-class theater performances.
For the residents of Puerto Vallarta, this Sunday presents a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of life aboard a luxury cruise, a spectacle that is hard to replicate at other ports around the world. Puerto Vallarta continues to solidify its position as one of the top cruise destinations on the Pacific, and events like this demonstrate the city's ability to host high-level tourism.
Don’t miss the chance to attend this spectacular event. Prepare your family, register for your entry wristband, and enjoy a morning filled with awe and fun at the Puerto Vallarta Port, where the Celebrity Summit awaits you in all its splendor.
