Aboard Seven Seas Navigator with Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Cruise Overview
Miami is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots.
It has so much to offer; from its countless beach areas, to culture and museums, from spa and shopping days out, to endless cuban restaurants and cafes.
Miami is a multicultural city that has something to offer to everyone.
It's not another Cancún yet, but Cozumel's days as a rustic divers' hangout are history.
Whether arriving by plane or at the island's gleaming ferry terminal, visitors soon realize there's nothing deserted about this island.
That has its advantages.
It's rare to find such stunning natural beauty, glass-clear aquamarine seas, and vast marine life combined with top-flight visitor services and accommodations, and as a result Cozumel's devotees are legion.
Divers sharing stories of lionfish and sharks sit table-to-table with families tanned from a day at the beach club, while Mexican couples spin and step to salsa music in the central plaza.
But the elephant in Cozumel's big and bountiful room are the throngs of cruise-ship passengers who take over the countless crafts and jewelry stores along the seaward boulevard downtown any day there are ships in port—which is to say, just about every day.
But take just a few steps off the beaten path and this little island offers big rewards.
Deserted, windswept beaches, wild and vibrant natural parks, and 600 miles of coral reef are still yours for the discovering.
Just 19 km (12 miles) off the coast, Cozumel is 53 km (33 miles) long and 15 km (9 miles) wide, making it the country's third-largest island.
Plaza Central, or just "la plaza," is the heart of San Miguel, directly across from the docks.
Residents congregate here in the evening, especially on weekends, when free concerts begin at 8 pm.
Heading inland (east) takes you away from the tourist zone and toward residential areas of town.
Most of the island's restaurants, hotels, stores, and dive shops are concentrated downtown and along the two hotel zones that fan out along the leeward coast to the north and south of San Miguel.
The most concentrated commercial district is between Calle 10 Norte and Calle 11 Sur to beyond Avenida Pedro Joaquin Coldwell.
Cozumel's solitude-seeking windward side also has a few restaurants and one hotel.
Unless you want to stick around your hotel or downtown San Miguel for your whole stay, you'll do well to rent a car or a scooter.
Most worthwhile sites, such as the island's Mayan ruins and pristine windward beaches, are only readily accessible with wheels.
Taxi fares are astronomical, and after just a few trips a rental car is clearly a better deal.
Begin exploring the capital by strolling along the waterfront Harbour Drive to Elmslie Memorial United Church, named after the first Presbyterian missionary to serve in Cayman.
Its vaulted ceiling, wooden arches, and sedate nave reflect the religious nature of island residents.
In front of the court building, in the center of town, names of influential Caymanians are inscribed on the Wall of History, which commemorates the islands' quincentennial in 2003.
Across the street is the Cayman Islands Legislative Assembly Building, next door to the 1919 Peace Memorial Building.
In the middle of the financial district is the General Post Office, built in 1939.
Let the kids pet the big blue iguana statues.

As you gaze at Seven Seas Navigator®, imagine what you’ll hear as well. Listen for sounds of happiness like forks clicking on Versace dinnerware, a ball clacking on a roulette wheel, and a martini being shaken to icy perfection.
You’ll find time spent on board the ship to be just as enriching as time ashore. Relax by the pool, compete in a friendly game of trivia or bocce ball, indulge in treats at afternoon tea and gain insight from an expert lecturer.
