The transport was comfortable but the delays in collecting other travellers delayed and extended our transfer time. On arrival at the harbour the signage and directions were limited, leaving travellers guessing where to go to or even queue. Once we were identified as TUI travellers the experience improved. An aggressive drunk male on our tour tarnished the trip which resulted in local police attendance. Still awaiting an update from TUI staff, after three days of informing them of the issue.
Set a course for the high life on this luxury catamaran cruise to Cancun's playground, Isla Mujeres. It's VIP all the way on this daytrip. You'll begin with a dedicated TUI check-in to board a brand-new catamaran that'll whisk you away to the island, just off Cancun's coastline. Stretch out and relax in the comfort of this boat, complete with an open bar.
En route to Isla Mujeres, your crew will drop anchor at an exclusive snorkelling spot. The corals here are part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest of its kind in the world, stretching from Mexico to Honduras – that's over 700 miles. Dive in for a swim or snorkel (equipment is provided) to look for resident sea turtles, rays and tropical fish.
Once you've towelled off, you'll dock at the northwestern tip of Isla Mujeres and head to Zama Beach Club. There's an area reserved for your group here, making it feel like your own private Caribbean retreat. Swap the sea for a freshwater dip in the two pools, relax on the sunbeds and feast on fresh Mexican fare at an exclusive brunch. After you've finished splashing, eating or lounging at the club, the crew of the catamaran will sail you back to the mainland.
There are two ways to enjoy this trip:
Adults-only – available on Tuesdays, if you're after a more laid-back, grown-up vibe.
Family-friendly – available on Saturdays, great for families with kids to enjoy the fun together.
