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.
