Weekly Cruise Ship Arrival and Departure Information
Over the years Cozumel has grown to be one of the top cruise line destinations in the Caribbean. With 3 cruise ship piers as well as 1 smaller pier which serves the Playa del Carmen ferry, Cozumel plays host daily to thousands of day visitors looking for a glimpse of paradise. With such a small window of time in which to enjoy Cozumel, it is imperative that guests try to plan ahead and map out their day in order to see/do the most possible in the precious few hours they have here on the island.

Efficient use of time and money in any Port of Call begins with getting oriented, understanding transportation options and planning a travel or activity route that avoids "doubling back" when moving around. Typically the Passenger Itinerary document which is issued by the Cruise Line will indicate which pier will be used in each Port of Call for disembarkation. Use this as the starting point for mapping out a great adventure in Cozumel in order to get the most out of your vacation day on the island!
