Find out moreLocated just an hour outside of downtown Houston, the port of Galveston is one of the fastest growing cruise ports in the world – it's now the fourth largest in the US, and largest outside of Florida. Before you head to your ship you can relax on Galveston's 50km of shoreline, grab some high-octane thrills at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, or dig deeper into the city's past at one of several museums in the Strand District.
Costa Maya is a hidden paradise of the Mexican Caribbean coast, perhaps most famous for the largest collection of Mayan ruins discovered to date. Chacchoben, just one hour away from the port, is the best jumping off point to begin exploring the ruins and learning about the incredible history of the Mayan people. The area is also home to one of the largest reef systems in the world, the Meso-American reef – a perfect opportunity to go diving and snorkeling to see the marine life up close, or why not enjoy the experience on a glass bottom boat ride. For something more relaxing, you can head to the fishing village of Mahahual where beautiful white sand beaches, trendy shopping and traditional Mexican cuisine are awaiting your arrival.
It's rare to find such stunning natural beauty, glass-clear aquamarine seas, and vast marine life combined with top-flight visitor services and accommodations, and as a result Cozumel's devotees are legion. Divers sharing stories of lionfish and sharks sit table-to-table with families tanned from a day at the beach club, while Mexican couples spin and step to salsa music in the central plaza. There's plenty to explore off the beaten track – deserted, windswept beaches, wild and vibrant natural parks, and 600 miles of coral reef are all yours for the discovering. Just 19 km (12 miles) off the coast, Cozumel is 53 km (33 miles) long and 15 km (9 miles) wide, making it the country's third-largest island.
