Ports of Call
New Orleans, Louisiana
At Sea - Cruising
Harvest Caye, Belize
The island's centerpiece is a 15,000-square-foot pool featuring a swim-up bar and cascading waterfall, surrounded by lounge chairs and rentable canopy cabanas. If you prefer the ocean, the seven-acre beach offers clean sand and calm waters.
For active travelers, the 130-foot-tall Flighthouse serves as the launchpad for a 3,000-foot zipline across the island, alongside a ropes course and free-fall jumps. A protected saltwater lagoon provides flat water for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Walk through the complimentary nature center, which includes a butterfly garden, a reptile terrarium, and an aviary housing rescued scarlet macaws and toucans.
If you want to leave the resort environment, book the ferry excursion to the nearby mainland village of Placencia, or opt for mainland tours like jungle river tubing and visits to the Nim Li Punit Mayan ruins.
Roatan, Honduras
Beyond the reef, the island offers two distinct experiences. West Bay is the quintessential Caribbean postcard—powder-white sands and calm turquoise waters—though expect significant crowds at the resorts. For a more authentic atmosphere, head to the neighboring West End village. It offers a bohemian mix of dive shops, open-air bars, and artisan stalls. Grab a fresh baleada, the thick flour tortilla staple of Honduran street food, while walking the strip.
Inland, the most popular excursions involve the island’s wildlife sanctuaries. Interactions with capuchin monkeys and sloths at places like Gumbalimba Park or Daniel Johnson's Monkey and Sloth Hang Out have become signature experiences, offering genuine engagement for animal lovers.
Ships dock at either the town of Coxen Hole or the purpose-built Mahogany Bay. Arrange transport away from these immediate port areas to experience the island’s true merit. Roatan is not a hub for colonial history or high culture; it is a natural playground. If you prioritize marine exploration or relaxed beach time over shopping and sightseeing, this port delivers.
Cozumel, Mexico
A critical note regarding Mayan history: While the famous mainland sites of Tulum and Coba are spectacular, visiting them requires a 45-minute ferry to Playa del Carmen followed by a bus ride. This logistical commitment consumes your entire day and introduces transit stress. Unless these specific sites are non-negotiable, we advise remaining on the island. You can visit the smaller, on-island ruins of San Gervasio to satisfy historical curiosity without the risk of missing the ship.
If your goal is relaxation, Cozumel’s beach clubs are highly developed, ranging from high-energy all-inclusives to sophisticated, quiet retreats where the focus is on service and tranquility. When dining in the main town of San Miguel, avoid the waterfront tourist strip. Instead, walk three to four blocks inland to find authentic family-run cantinas serving excellent cochinita pibil and fresh ceviche at a fraction of the tourist prices. Cozumel is a polished tourism machine, but by focusing on the reef, the east coast, or a high-end beach club, you can curate a sophisticated and restorative experience.
We can assist you with all your travel arrangements. We'd be happy to help you plan your flights, hotels, or tours before and/or after your cruise conference.
PLEASE NOTE: To attend the conference, participants must book their cruise accommodations through University at Sea®. This ensures we can provide full conference services and complimentary social amenities to meeting participants and guests. Participants' family and friends are welcome to book within our group allotment and take advantage of our typically excellent rates.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?
Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.
TRIP CANCELLATION
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:
- A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
- Your parent or child requires hospitalization
- You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
- You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
- A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
TRIP INTERRUPTION
Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:
- You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
- A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
- A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
TRAVEL DELAY
If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE
Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:
- You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
- You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
- You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*
*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
