Costa Maya & Cozumel 2-in-1: Chacchoben, Bacalar & Jeep Adventure

About this experience

Two ports. Two completely different adventures. One incredible way to experience the Mexican Caribbean.

Experience the highlights of both Cozumel and Costa Maya with a 2-in-1 shore excursion package designed for cruise guests. Across two separate port days, this combination brings together Cozumel’s coastal roads and celebrated snorkeling with the ancient Maya history and spectacular landscapes that define Costa Maya.

Take the wheel in Cozumel, cruise along its scenic coastal roads, and snorkel in clear Caribbean waters. Then discover a completely different side of Mexico in Costa Maya, where ancient temples rise from the jungle and Bacalar’s famous Lagoon of Seven Colors awaits.

This isn’t just about fitting more into your vacation—it’s about making two port days count, with adventure, culture, incredible scenery, and time to simply enjoy the Caribbean.

Turn two incredible ports into one cruise adventure you’ll never forget.
