Clear water, colorful reefs and an easy day in Mexico
Cozumel welcomes more cruise passengers than any other port in the Caribbean. The island is ringed by reefs that draw divers from around the world, its west coast is lined with beach clubs, and the Yucatán mainland — with Playa del Carmen and the ruins at Tulum — is a short ferry ride away. It's a staple of short getaways from the Gulf Coast and Florida.
Gentle currents carry divers along walls like Palancar and Santa Rosa; snorkelers have reefs a few steps from shore.
San Gervasio is on Cozumel itself; Tulum and Chichén Itzá are full-day trips to the mainland.
Pay one price for a lounger, pool, food and drinks at a club minutes from the pier.
Waterfront shops, tequila tastings and street tacos near the ferry dock.
Four-night sailings from Tampa and Galveston often include a full day here.
Shown as a guide only — every cruise line and sail date has its own route. Call us and we'll match real sailings to the dates you have in mind.
It's doable but long — ferry plus drive takes most of the day. If ruins are the priority, a Costa Maya or Progreso port day may be easier.
Biodegradable, mineral-based sunscreen. Many parks and reef areas require reef-safe products.
For a round-trip sailing that starts and ends at the same US port, US citizens can generally travel with an original or certified birth certificate and a government-issued photo ID. A passport book is still the safer choice — without one, getting home from a foreign port after a missed ship or medical issue is much harder.
Share a few details and one of our cruise specialists will shortlist the best-value sailings for your dates, then call you to talk them through — typically within 15 minutes in business hours.
