Costa Maya, Mexico’s fastest growing cruise port, said it will re-open to cruise passengers starting July 2008, following its unexpected closing after Hurricane Dean’s direct hit in August 2007. The port’s cruise industry partners — including Cunard, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Holland America, Carnival Cruise Lines, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, P&O Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Windstar Cruises, MSC Cruises, and Ocean Village — have committed to return to its shores. Previously known for a wide range of unique excursions ranging from encounters with a true Mayan community to diving the world’s second largest barrier reef, Costa Maya has added more tour packages to its offerings. BioMaya Bacalar is a zip-lining adventure that transports guests through the jungle. A brand new boardwalk, the result of $15 million government investment following Hurricane Dean, will be ready for unveiling in time for the port’s reopening. By July 2008, the port’s first and second berthing positions will be fully operational and ready to receive cruise passengers. A third berth is expected to be completed by November 2008. Upon re-opening, Costa Maya also will offer fully-enhanced facilities, capable of serving NCL’s F3 and Royal Caribbean’s Genesis class to allow for newer, larger vessels.
