Ocean cruise
Celebrate the new year in style with some winter sun on this round-trip Oceania cruise out of Miami, sailing between sun-drenched between sun-drenched Caribbean ports in Mexico, Belize and Honduras. After leaving Miami’s Art-Deco glitz, Mexico’s Costa Maya impresses with jungle-backed beaches, which hide Mayan ruins. It’s then on to Belize’s Harvest Caye for artisans’ villages and the world’s second-largest coral reef before, New Year’s Eve is spent on the white sands of a Honduran island – Roatán.
Then drop into the beautiful island of Cozumel on the return to Miami. Savour it all from the comfort of your Oceania cruise ship.

Costa Maya, Mexico
This morning, as you enjoy breakfast you'll arrive into the cruise port of Costa Maya, in Mexico's developing Costa Maya region. Surrounded by dense jungle and turquoise waters and blessed with radiant sunshine all year round, it's little wonder the ancient Maya chose to call this place home. Indeed, historical ceremonial centres like Chacchoben give us an insight into their culture and heritage. Today, you'll have a chance to climb among the ruins, many of which are still being excavated. Look out for raucous toucans in the trees. Also available as an optional excursion is a chance to go swimming with bottlenose dolphins and learning about their remarkably intelligent behaviour and friendliness. For a more relaxing day, opt to snorkel in the shallow crystal-clear waters near the shore.

Today offers the perfect opportunity to live out your paradise island fantasies in one of the Caribbean's lesser known but more stunning islets. Harvest Caye - just off the coast of Belize - features an enchanting range of environments from tropical rainforests to marshes and coral reefs, all within the confines of just 75 acres. Use your time to explore its incredible biodiversity, discovering exotic wildlife such as crocodiles, howler monkeys, toucans and water birds and exploring the world's second largest coral reef. There is also a chance to try out river tubing or zip-lining through the rainforest, meaning you can enjoy both relaxation and adventure amid lush tropical landscapes.

Roátan, Honduras
With trademark white-sand beaches, swaying palm trees and magnificent rainforest backdrops, Roátan is Honduras' answer to a tropical island paradise. A prominent reef ringing around the island conceals shipwrecks, coral gardens and a plethora of exotic sea creatures. Spend today exploring the superb shallow reefs through snorkelling, kayaking or diving, or discover the island's other natural wonders on a horseback ride on the beach and through a tropical forest past spectacular volcanic rocks. It is also possible to visit a nearby nature sanctuary where you have a chance to interact with several endemic species of monkey.

Cozumel, Mexico
The lovely island of Cozumel has long been a favourite of visitors to Mexico. Just off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, the sunny weather tends to be just about perfect, and cool ocean breezes gently whisk away your cares. Coral reefs are a sanctuary for those who revere colourful marine life, while inland Mayan ruins are havens for history buffs. As far as the local towns, they’re just plain fun. If you’re looking for a party, you’ll find it along San Miguel’s waterfront north of Avenue Andrés Quintana Roo. To experience the island in its more rugged state, head to the east side, which gets more wind and bigger waves.
