Ever wondered why so many cruises have Cozumel on their itinerary? Well, it’s an awesome port of call, of course! Long before Cancun became a popular destination, Cozumel was well-known as a diving spot and home to the world famous Palancar Reef. Not a diver? Not a problem! Non-divers can kick back on a sun-drenched beach, or enjoy any number of seaside activities, such as shopping in colorful marketplaces or dining in an open-air cafe. Carnival Cruise Line stops in Cozumel. All ships dock at the heart of the island, just minutes from incredible shopping at San Miguel’s and the beautiful white sand beaches of Chankanaab National Park. Not a diver, but still want to see the gorgeous reef? Try out submarine tours, snorkeling or dolphin encounters at the nearby Chankanaab National Marine Park.

There are so many great activities available in Cozumel, its hard to pick just one! You can learn to prepare an authentic Mexican feast, or go shopping in “one of the world’s best duty-free shopping ports.” Here, you can find amazing deals on designer jewelry, Mexican housewares and handicrafts and even Oriental rugs! Need a little more adventure? Cozumel can accommodate! Explore the ancient ruins of the Mayan city of Tulum. These ruins are perched high above the Caribbean where the pyramid-shaped El Castillo dominates the ancient city from a 40 foot cliff! Just how old is ancient, you ask? This site was occupied as early as 600 A.D. though it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D. While you’re out there, check out the Temple of the Descending God to see some of the amazing achievements these ancient people made in the arts and sciences. You can also take a fun Jeep safari through the sand dunes and tropical trails, east side of the island. If you’re ready to start your cruise vacation, give us a call!
