Creator's Key Takeaways
We have such a great day planned with this topless bus tour and then we'll probably end up on the um waterfront decade again to sit and read our books until we have to get ready for dinner.
The most exciting and special part of our tour was getting to see Mazatlon's famous cliff divers known simply as El Clavadista.
It was really special to experience the cathedral as an active place of worship rather than just a historical site.
Laura undersold it. I'm going to be dreaming about that shrimp ceviche for a long, long, long time.

On this cruise port day in Mazatlán, Mexico, we booked a cruise-line open-air (topless) bus tour and spent the day seeing the city with a local guide. From ocean views along the Malecón to historic landmarks, this tour packed a lot into a short visit. One of the highlights of the day was watching Mazatlán’s famous cliff divers (El Clavadista) leap from high cliffs into the ocean below, perfectly timing their dives with the waves, a tradition passed down through generations. We also visited the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, explored Mazatlán’s historic center, admired public art along the Malecón, and squeezed in some souvenir shopping and authentic Mexican food. Back on the ship, we grabbed a quick bite at The Local, then relaxed by the waterfront before wrapping up our Thanksgiving with a non-traditional holiday dinner at Le Bistro, our favorite specialty dining restaurant on NCL, one we always make a point to visit. It was a full, fun, and memorable day in Mazatlán, and a unique way to celebrate Thanksgiving at sea. @norwegiancruiseline #cruisenorwegian ✨ Thanks for watching!
