On this ship, there’s no wrong way to do your holiday.

ADVENTURE ON EVERY DECK

Chops Grille℠

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialised in serving up quality, hand-cut meat.

Insider tip

Local Cuisine

Cozumel’s cuisine is dominated by Mexican, American and international cuisine. Fresh seafood is always a good choice, and so is the cochinita pibil – a slow-roasted, highly seasoned pork dish. Cool off with a michelada, made with beer and freshly squeezed lime juice over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. Or keep it traditional with Mexico’s signature spirit, tequila.

Or hop on an inner tube and float through spectacular limestone caves, passing tumbling waterfalls along the network of rivers flowing to the Caribbean.
