Mexico’s Costa Maya to Get Oasis of the Seas Visits

Puerto Costa Maya has been selected as one of Royal Caribbean International’s ports of call for the 220,000-ton Oasis of the Seas, starting in May 2010. Struck by Hurricane Dean in 2007, Costa Maya, resembling an ancient Mayan city, was rebuilt.

In mid-2008, Costa Maya reopened with the capability to accommodate three ships at once, including newer, larger ships like Oasis of the Seas and NCL’s Epic-class ships.

Costa Maya showcases the ancient heritage of the Mexican Caribbean with today’s conveniences. Since reopening, Costa Maya has added new guest experiences such as BioMaya Bacalar, a zip-lining adventure through the Mayan jungle, and features a brand new lighthouse and boardwalk that lines the neighboring beachside town of Mahahual.

The port’s private beach club facilities were also rebuilt. Costa Maya will welcome a Hard Rock Cafe this fall, located in the port’s main complex. Costa Maya’s ship roster currently includes Royal Caribbean International, Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, P&O Cruises, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, Windstar Cruises, MSC Cruises, Ocean Village and Cunard Line.
