Roatan,
Honduras
The Caribbean's Hidden Gem
Crystal-clear turquoise water, the world's second-largest coral reef, zip-lines through jungle canopy, and powder-soft white beaches - Roatan is the port stop everyone talks about long after the cruise is over.
About the Port
Where the Reef
Meets the Jungle
Roatan is the largest of Honduras's Bay Islands, sitting right on top of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef - the second largest coral reef system on the planet.
Above water, the island is lush tropical jungle with zip-lines, monkey sanctuaries, and laid-back beach bars. Whether you want heart-pumping adventure or a hammock and a cold drink, Roatan delivers.
Best of all, your Dew Crew Cruise package includes a $50 shore excursion credit - so your day in Roatan costs you less right from the start.
