Cozumel, Mexico
The largest inhabited island in Mexico, Cozumel gained worldwide acclaim when legendary scuba diver Jacques Cousteau heralded its coral reefs in 1959 as some of the world’s finest. Diving remains Cozumel’s primary draw, but you’ll also find an abundance of Mayan culture, white-sand beaches and interesting neighborhoods. Visit the World Heritage-listed and remarkably preserved ruins of Chichen Itza, a sacred Mayan center for centuries. Trek through the jungle mangroves and Mayan ruins of the Faro Celerain Ecological Reserve on Cozumel’s southern tip. Shop for local crafts, jewelry, Mayan replicas, cigars and tequila along the waterfront avenue of Rafael Melgar and main square of Plaza del Sol.

Costa Maya, Mexico
Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan including Chacchoben and Kohunlich. These sites are substantially less excavated than the better known pyramids near Cancun. The Mexican government is trying to improve the standard of living for the Indian population. The path chosen to do this in the Costa Maya area is to develop small-scale ecological based tourism destinations, including natural reserve parks.

Harvest Caye, Belize
This pristine mangrove-covered private island is a gem in the crown of Belize’s natural resources. Encounter wildlife and learn about the fauna as you explore the island’s mangrove estuaries or snorkel along the reef that surrounds the island. Bask under the warm Caribbean sun on Harvest Caye’s untouched sandy beach located on its northern shores; enjoy an exhilarating day of water sports on the lagoon or simple take a stroll along the island village and marina.

Roatán, Honduras
Warm Caribbean waters with excellent diving, white sand beaches, and tropical sunsets are some of the attractions of the Bay Islands. Roatan’s major source of income is tourism, particularly because of SCUBA diving attractions. The underwater environment is rich and extensive with reefs surrounding the islands, often within swimming distance of the shore. Caves and caverns are a common feature, with a variety of sponge and the best collection of pillar coral.

George Town, Cayman Islands
Whether it’s duty-free shopping or strolling the sands of famed Seven Mile Beach, this quaint capital city offers something for everyone. Explore one of the Caribbean’s finest collections of historical and scientific artifacts at the Cayman Islands National Museum. Admire the island’s oldest stone structure – and birthplace of democracy in the Cayman Islands – at the Pedro St. James National Historic Site. Take in the vibrant wetlands and gorgeous floral gardens of Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, home of endangered blue iguanas and Cayman parrots. Get a taste of one of the famous rums specially blended in Jamaica and Barbados on a rum distillery tour.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay are located in the heart of the north-coast region defined by fern-clad cliffs and cascading waterfalls, not far from where Columbus first landed more than 500 years ago. Island Village, adjacent to the cruise ship pier, offers a multitude of informal dining and entertainment venues, as well as souvenir and duty-free shopping. Dunn's River Falls and Waterpark is Ocho Rios's most popular tourist attraction, where the adventurous can book a guide to scale the falls, and those seeking a more tranquil afternoon can pamper themselves with a waterfall massage. Coyaba Gardens and Mahoe Falls features amazing, intricate water gardens and unique Jamaican Spanish architecture; and the Shaw Park Botanical Gardens offers 25 acres of tropical splendor.

Puerto Limón, Costa Rica
This bustling city is home to extravagant open-air markets that buzz with commerce, fascinating architecture and historical museums. Immersed in palms and vine-consumed Ficus trees is Parque Vargas where sloths can often be seen inching from branch to branch. Enjoy a ride on the aerial tram through the rainforest canopy at Braulio Carillo National Park. Or take a boat ride through the Tortuguero Canals or the Estero Negro Estuary, the rich jungle tapestry all around while watching for colorful birds, monkeys, iguanas, sloths, crocodiles and the legendary iridescent Blue Morpho, the largest butterfly in South America.

Cartagena, Colombia
Take a scenic drive through the residential area of Manga, and admire the beautiful mansions built in Republican-style architecture at the end of the 19th century. Explore the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, a fort that was once the most important military structure built in Latin America. Enjoy a boat ride to the Islas del Rosario, 26 coral islands located off the coast of Isla Barú, and continue to the island of San Martín de Pajarales to visit the aquarium. Enjoy a spectacular dolphin and shark show and other marine attractions there. Board the beautiful Spanish Galleon, a replica of a 17th-century sailing ship, for a cruise of the inner bay of Cartagena.

Panama City, Panama
Dynamic Panama City boasts a shimmering skyline, cobblestone streets lined with rooftop bars, and centuries of intact ruins to explore. Founded in 1519, the original Panama City – Panamá Viejo – was abandoned in the mid-17th century and replaced by a historic district -- Casco Viejo – that are together recognized as a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site. Discover a trove of artifacts and information on the planning, construction and operation of the ‘Big Ditch’ at the interactive Panama Canal Museum, and pay homage to the 22,000 workers who died building it at the Plaza de Francia.
