Oceania will be adding Puerto Chiapas as a port of call.

Near the border of Guatemala on Mexico's west coast, Puerto Chiapas offers opportunities for cultural and historic tours, as well as eco-adventures. Visitors to this port have access to Palenque, one of the Mayan world's most important archeological sites. Those looking for adventure can try white-water rafting, horse back riding, Jeep or ATV rides or hiking through the surrounding jungle.

Nice photos. I've never heard of this place. I suppose in 10 years it will be the rage.
