Roatan is the largest of Honduras' Bay
Islands. Almost 40 miles long and just 2.5 miles at its widest point,
the remote island boasts white sand beaches, pristine bays and spectacular
coral reefs. The island is a true melting pot. Its 40,000 people are
a mix of Spanish, British, Paya Indian and African, the result of a
stormy history that includes conquistadors, pirates and slave traders.
For tourists, Roatan's charm is its barrier reef system -- the second
largest in the world! -- and its appeal for diving and snorkeling.
On a call at Cozumel, don't miss the great
Mayan walled city of Tulum. Once a major center of maritime commerce,
the sixty-acre site features stone carvings, archways and architecture
with "sundials" that light up during the solstices. Tulum's
main castle sits on a limestone cliff overlooking the Caribbean. The
sweeping views alone are worth the two-hour trek (via ferry to Plaza
del Carmen, and then by motorcoach).
The Mayan city of Chitzen Itza is a
short two hours from Progreso. With its intricate temples, the famous
pyramid of Kulkulcan, a sacred ball court and astronomical observatory,
it is certainly worth the trip to one of the most significant archaeological
sites in the Americas. A closer option (90 minutes away) is the Mayan
site of Uxmal, which also offers an impressive array of pyramids and
plazas. Another important Mayan ceremonial center, Dzibilchaltun,
is but 15 minutes away. If the ruins intrigue you, look for the face
of the living Maya. Chances are, you'll need to look no further than
the face of your tour guide. The descendants of the Maya still thrive
here, having preserved their language and many of the ancient ways.
Costa Maya, the Western Caribbean’s
first port designed exclusively for the cruise ship industry, is strategically
ocated just hours from Cancun on Mexico’s southern Yucatan Peninsula.
Resembling an ancient Mayan city, Costa Maya is able to accommodate
three ships at once and entertain visitors to a destination that showcases
the ancient and colonial heritage of the Mexican Caribbean with all
of today’s conveniences. Set against the deep turquoise sea,
Costa Maya is comprised of three grand pavilions, artisan and luxury
shopping areas, a beach club, saltwater pools, fine restaurants and
bars, and all the resources necessary to explore the surrounding jungle
and coral reefs. It is the region’s most
complete and diverse port of call providing cultural, natural and
archeological excursions. Costa Maya is one of only six ports in the
Western Caribbean to receive over one million passengers per year.
Galveston, about 1.5 hours from Houston, is the port for the major Texas city (ironically, Houston has its own port though attracts a few ships). Galveston is a charming Victorian resort town situated on a barrier island just two miles off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. The waterfront town has most definitely returned to its former Victorian glory. There are several neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places that are hard to resist when it comes to sightseeing, but put the Strand District, where you'll find plenty of shops and restaurants amid Victorian iron-front buildings, and the East End District, where you'll spot exquisite gems like Bishop's Palace, on the top of your list.
