Roatán is a true gem of the Honduran Caribbean and delights visitors with its authentic island atmosphere and the impressive nature of the Bay Islands. The port of Coxen Hole welcomes travelers with colorful architecture and the relaxed lifestyle of Central America, surrounded by lush rainforest and the second-largest coral reef in the world.

Coxen Hole Port, also known as the Port of Roatán or Town Center, is the island's primary public cruise port and serves as a vibrant gateway to the island's capital, Coxen Hole. Thanks to its immediate proximity to the international airport, it is particularly convenient for cruise guests from the DACH region arriving via Fly & Cruise.
Airplane
Your arrival is via Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB) on Roatán, which is located only about 2 to 3 kilometers from Coxen Hole Port. The airport receives international flights, primarily from the USA and Canada, which usually means connecting flights for travelers from the DACH region. Plan a generous amount of time for your journey due to the long-haul flights to ensure a relaxed start to your cruise vacation.
Transfer & Shuttle
From Juan Manuel Gálvez Airport (RTB), you can reach Coxen Hole Port quickly and easily thanks to the short distances. Taxis are available directly on-site and will take you to the port in about two minutes, with costs between 6 and 8 US dollars. Additionally, various private transfer services and shuttle providers offer comfortable rides at fixed prices, which you can book in advance to avoid waiting times and ensure a seamless transition to your cruise ship.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
For a relaxed embarkation, especially after long intercontinental flights from Europe, an overnight stay on Roatán before the start of the cruise is strongly recommended. Numerous hotels and resorts can be found in Coxen Hole itself as well as in the popular areas of West End or West Bay. A pre-cruise hotel not only allows you to adjust to the time difference but also to explore the beauty of the island before your departure.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that your travel documents usually provide you with a fixed time slot for check-in, which is mandatory for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port accordingly and keep in mind that the latest embarkation time—depending on the cruise line and destination—is usually about one hour before the scheduled departure.
The following also applies during the trip: For shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
