◆Ports you’ll visit◆
Miami
Airboats gliding past gators, art deco pastels, and Cuban cafecito buzz.
Heads up: South Beach is a 15-25 min ride, not a walk from the port.
Cozumel
Catamarans to starfish shallows and jungle Maya ruins across the channel.
Heads up: Only Punta Langosta pier is walkable to town; beach clubs all need a taxi.
Costa Maya
Jungle temples at Chacchoben, then mojitos at a lazy beach club.
Heads up: The 'port' is a built-for-cruisers mall; Chacchoben ruins are an hour's drive.
Harvest Caye
Santo Tomás De Castilla
Roatán Island
Puerto Limón
Panama Canal Transit
Panama City
Cartagena
Santa Marta
Oranjestad
