ms-norwegian-spirit.jpgNorwegian Spirit:  The Spirit is a very nice, NCL ship. It has a good family environment with plenty of activities. The freestyle dining works out good for our groups since many days we arrive late from our shore excursions. Built in 2000, this is great ship in very nice condition.
  


Shore Excursions: We offer great excursions for a great price!

Roatan Island Tour:  This will be a relaxing day to tour the beautiful island of Roatan. After visiting the sites on Roatan, we will go to the beach where we will have a delicious lunch. Following some free time on the beach, we will return to the ship. ($55 – $5 cash discount)

lamanai_high_temple_sml.jpgLamanai Ruins: Take an exciting speedboat ride down the New River to get to the amazing Maya ruins of Lamanai. These ruins date back to the Book of Mormon time period. Climb the huge temples, search for howler monkeys or just enjoy the beautiful jungle setting ($115 – $5 Cash Discount).

tulum.jpgTulum Ruins: From Cozumel see one of the most famous and beautiful of the Maya sites. Tulum sits atop a cliff overlooking the ocean–the setting is surreal. This excursion will allow for some free time to shop or swim in the ocean at the bottom of the ruins ($110 — $5 Cash Discount).

chacchoben_tourChacchoben Ruins: This side-tour from the port of Costa Maya will allow you to enjoy the peaceful site of Chacchoben. You will enjoy the jungle setting of Chacchoben and its majestic ruins. This site is a late Book of Mormon time site.

After visiting the ruins, we will head to a little village where we will have lunch and some free time for beach and shopping ($105 — $5 cash discount).
