PORTS OF CALL
Miami, Florida
Miami is far more than the world’s busiest cruise port; it’s a destination that deserves its own chapter in your vacation story. We strongly encourage our clients to view Miami not as a logistical hurdle before their cruise, but as the vibrant, culturally rich opening act. Arriving a day or two early does more than just eliminate the stress of same-day travel—it allows you to immerse yourself in the energy of one of America's most dynamic cities, ensuring you step onto your ship already relaxed and in a vacation state of mind.
**Your Pre-Cruise Miami Itinerary**
Upon arriving at Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), a rideshare or taxi can have you settled into your hotel in South Beach, Brickell, or Downtown in under 30 minutes. We recommend choosing your neighborhood based on your preferred style: South Beach for the iconic Art Deco glamour and beach access, or Brickell for a sleek, modern urban experience with a fantastic dining scene.
**Day 1: Arrival, Architecture, and Atmosphere**
After checking in, spend your first afternoon acquainting yourself with the iconic scenery of South Beach. This isn't just a party destination; it's a protected architectural district. Take a leisurely stroll along Ocean Drive to admire the pastel-hued Art Deco masterpieces. For a more tranquil experience, head to South Pointe Park at the southern tip of the island. Here, you can watch ships glide through Government Cut against the backdrop of the downtown skyline—a perfect, low-key introduction to the city's maritime soul.
For dinner, bypass the tourist-heavy spots on Ocean Drive and explore the sophisticated restaurants in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood or the diverse, international options in Brickell. This is your chance to enjoy a world-class meal without a schedule, from fresh, locally-sourced seafood to innovative Latin American cuisine.
**Day 2: A Tale of Two Cultures**
Start your day the way Miamians do: with a shot of authentic Cuban culture. Head to Little Havana and walk the famous Calle Ocho. Find a *ventanita* (a small walk-up coffee window) and order a potent, sweet *cafecito* and a flaky *pastelito* (guava pastry is the classic). The experience is about more than just the coffee; it's about the sounds of Spanish, the rhythm of salsa music, and the sight of locals debating over a game of dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park. It’s an accessible, genuine cultural immersion.
In the afternoon, witness the city’s stunning contrasts. First, visit the Wynwood Walls, an extraordinary outdoor museum of large-scale murals by some of the world's best street artists. The surrounding neighborhood is a canvas in itself, with vibrant art on nearly every building. It’s a visual feast that’s both contemporary and completely approachable.
From there, travel back in time at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This Gilded Age estate, with its Italian Renaissance-inspired villa and sprawling formal gardens on the edge of Biscayne Bay, offers a glimpse into Miami's opulent past. The juxtaposition of Wynwood's modern grit and Vizcaya's timeless elegance perfectly encapsulates the city's multifaceted character.
**Embarkation Day**
Wake up refreshed and without pressure. Enjoy a final Miami breakfast before taking a short 15-20 minute ride to the Port of Miami. You’ll arrive calm and collected, having already banked two days of enriching travel experiences. By treating the start of your journey with this much intention, you don't just see a port city—you connect with it, making your entire vacation more memorable from the very first moment.
At Sea - Cruising
Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico
Puerto Costa Maya is best understood as a modern, purpose-built gateway to the Yucatán's less-traveled southern coast. The port itself is a self-contained village with pools, shops, and restaurants designed for cruise visitors. For a more authentic experience, a short taxi ride leads to the adjacent fishing village of Mahahual, where a beachfront boardwalk (malecón) is lined with casual restaurants and beach clubs offering a relaxed, local atmosphere.
The true distinction of this port lies in its access to significant, yet uncrowded, Maya archaeological sites. The most popular excursion is to the Chacchoben ruins, where partially excavated pyramids emerge from a dense jungle setting, offering a powerful sense of discovery. For those willing to venture further, the Kohunlich ruins reward the journey with the impressive Temple of the Masks. Another premier excursion is the Laguna de Bacalar, the "Lagoon of Seven Colors," whose stunning freshwater hues are a remarkable natural wonder. While Costa Maya lacks the organic history of an ancient city, it serves as an excellent and comfortable launchpad for a day of genuine historical exploration or serene natural beauty.
Roatan, Honduras
Roatan’s reputation is built on one magnificent, undeniable asset: its location on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest in the world. For anyone with an interest in the underwater world, this is a premier, world-class destination. The snorkeling and diving here are not just activities; they are the main event, offering accessible, vibrant coral gardens and a rich diversity of marine life just offshore.
Beyond the reef, Roatan delivers a classic, high-quality Caribbean beach experience. The key is choosing the right spot for your mood. West Bay Beach is the island’s postcard-perfect star, with powdery white sand and calm, turquoise waters ideal for a relaxing day. For a more bohemian and active vibe, the adjacent village of West End offers a lively strip of dive shops, laid-back restaurants, and local artisan stalls.
While the island’s interior is lush and hilly, most day visitors understandably stick to the coast. You’ll find opportunities for zip-lining and visiting animal sanctuaries, which can be enjoyable diversions. However, our honest advice is to focus on Roatan’s strengths. This isn’t a destination for deep cultural immersion or historical sightseeing. It is, quite simply, a stunning natural paradise. Embrace it for what it is: an exceptional opportunity to swim, snorkel, or simply relax on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful shorelines.
Cozumel, Mexico
Let's be direct: Cozumel is one of the world's busiest cruise ports, and it's essential to have a plan to navigate the crowds and find its genuine highlights. The island's global reputation is built on what lies just offshore: the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest barrier reef system in the world. For divers and snorkelers, this is a premier, bucket-list destination. The clear, warm water and vibrant coral formations of sites like the Palancar and Colombia reefs are genuinely world-class. For an accessible taste without a dedicated boat trip, parks like Chankanaab or the more remote Punta Sur Eco Beach Park offer excellent snorkeling directly from shore, combined with beaches and other amenities.
Many are drawn by the allure of Mayan ruins, but here’s a critical piece of advice: the famous sites like Tulum and Coba are on the mainland, not on Cozumel. Reaching them requires a 45-minute ferry to Playa del Carmen and then a bus journey, consuming nearly your entire day. While magnificent, choosing this option means forgoing the island experience entirely. It's a trade-off you must be comfortable with.
If you stay on the island, the main town of San Miguel offers a bustling waterfront and a dizzying array of shops. We recommend walking a few blocks inland from the main tourist thoroughfare to find more authentic local restaurants for a fantastic lunch. For pure relaxation, Cozumel’s beach clubs are a popular and effective choice. They range from lively, all-inclusive party spots with water toys to more serene, upscale retreats where the focus is on a good book and a great cocktail. You can easily find one that matches your pace. Cozumel is a highly developed tourism hub that excels at water sports and beach relaxation; embrace it for these strengths, and you’ll have a fantastic day.
Coco Cay, Bahamas
Let's be clear: Coco Cay is not a port for cultural immersion; it's a private island meticulously engineered for a perfect day of sun and fun. Think of it as a high-end water park and beach club rolled into one, accessible right off the ship. The island is divided into distinct zones, from the high-energy Thrill Waterpark with its impressive slides to the sprawling Oasis Lagoon, one of the largest freshwater pools in the Caribbean.
For those seeking relaxation, several white-sand beaches offer a classic tropical escape. If you're looking for a more exclusive, serene experience, the Coco Beach Club provides a quieter atmosphere with an infinity pool and overwater cabanas, available for an additional fee. While you won't find local markets or historical sites here, Coco Cay delivers exactly what it promises: a seamless, high-quality day of resort-style leisure and aquatic adventure.
