Welcome to Cozumel! If you’re planning a cruise to our beautiful island, you’re in the right place. Cozumel is famous for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant culture, and exciting activities. Here, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the different cruise ports in Cozumel to make your visit unforgettable.
San Miguel Pier: The Heart of Passenger Ferries
First, let’s talk about San Miguel Pier. This pier is right in the center of Cozumel and is the main crossing point for passengers. If you’re coming from Playa del Carmen, this is your spot. Ferries leave every half hour, so don’t worry if you miss one; there’s always another on the way. It’s a bustling pier because many tourists use it to visit us daily. It’s a quick and super convenient trip!
Cargo Pier: Heavy Transport and Vehicles
Just five minutes south of San Miguel Pier, you’ll find the cargo pier. This is the place if you need to transport your car or truck. Yes, it might seem odd, but you can bring your vehicle to Cozumel. This is perfect for those traveling with a lot of luggage or in a group. It’s not only practical but also adds a touch of adventure to your visit.
Punta Langosta: The Haven for Disney and Norwegan
If you’re on a Disney or Norwegan cruise, Punta Langosta will be your welcoming port. This pier is just five minutes from downtown Cozumel, so you’ll have easy access to shops, restaurants, and all the local attractions. It’s a super convenient pier with always something interesting to see or do. Don’t miss out on the local shopping and delicacies!
SSA International Pier: Home to Royal Caribbean
Now, if you’re on a Royal Caribbean cruise, like the impressive Icon of the Seas, we’ll welcome you at the SSA Pier, also known as the International Pier. This pier is further south and is perfect for a calm, stress-free arrival. Here, you’ll find all the services you need and a relaxed environment to start your island adventure.
Puerta Maya: Exclusivity for Carnival
Carnival passengers have their own exclusive spot at Puerta Maya. This pier is just five minutes from the SSA Pier and offers a unique experience for Carnival cruisers. It’s a fantastic place with many facilities and services designed for you to enjoy your stay to the fullest. Exploring the island from here is a breeze!
