From Seatrade Insider:
Costa Maya cruise lines commit to return
21/4/2008
Puerto Costa Maya, now due to reopen with two berthing positions in July, said more than a dozen of the lines that called before the facility was destroyed by Hurricane Dean last August have committed to return. In addition, port officials announced new local attractions. The brands that plan to return include Cunard, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International, Holland America, Carnival Cruise Lines, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, P&O Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Windstar Cruises, MSC Cruises and Ocean Village.
Moreover, Costa Maya officials said passengers will get an enhanced experience with more tour offerings than before. New choices include BioMaya Bacalar, a zip-lining adventure through the jungle followed by a dip in Laguna de Siete Colores (Seven Colors Lagoon), known by locals as the ‘Birthplace of the Rainbow.’
Also, as earlier reported here, the nearby fishing village of Mahahual is getting a $15m infusion from the Mexican government that will include a new boardwalk.
As announced by Costa Maya officials at Seatrade Miami in March, the port’s first and second berthing positions are expected to be fully operational by July, with a third berth due for completion by November.
