Bayport Cruise Terminal is actually located just outside
Houston, in Pasadena, Texas, along the Houston Ship Channel. Travel experts
believe that Houston will be a convenient port of departure for many
vacationers: in fact, more than 15 million people live within a half-day drive
of Houston. Cruise fans from the Western and Midwestern regions of the U.S.
also have a shorter trip to Houston than to the cruise ports of Florida.
Traveling to Bayport Cruise Terminal by air is convenient,
too, as the terminal is easily accessible from both of Houston’s airports, George
Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport. In addition, Houston
is a major airline hub, which makes non-stop service available from many cities
in North America.
The cruise terminal itself is spacious and designed to minimize
congestion and maximize passenger flow. Plasma screens provide directions and
guidance to arriving passengers, and an ample number of security stations minimize
time waiting in line.
Once on the ship, passengers can look forward to a sea-going
exploration of some of the finest ports in the Western Caribbean. Both Princess
and Norwegian are planning to sail from Houston to Roatan, Honduras; Belize
City, Belize; and Cozumel, Mexico. All three ports offer beautiful beaches,
snorkeling and diving, boating and other water sports, as well as unique
attractions.
Roatan is known for its Garifuna community, where
descendents of Black Carib Indians have maintained their traditional lifestyle while
welcoming visitors. You can also have a dolphin encounter or visit a unique
iguana farm.
In Belize, take a ride on a river through a jungle teeming
with wildlife, pilot your inner tube through a series of caves, or zip-line
through the canopy of the rainforest.
Cozumel offers access to fascinating runs from the Mayan
civilization, as well as X-Caret, an ecological and archeological theme park
with underground rivers and a replica of a Mayan village.

Caribbean from Houston, talk with Anita, your Cruise Holidays personal cruise
