Virgin Voyages' guide to Cozumel & Playa del Carmen
Cozumel
The 3-in-1 Mexican destination
If you go beyond the expected in Cozumel, you’ll find thriving ecotourism efforts, unspoiled whitesand beaches, and a coast lined with the miles-long Meso-American Barrier Reef — home to some of the most stunning coral reef formations and sea creatures in the Caribbean.

But the added luxury lies in Cozumel’s close proximity to Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Across the water from the electricity of PdC and a stone’s throw from the artists haven and bohemian escape of Tulum, arriving here comes with a wealth of options and opportunity. Deciding where you want to be, what you want to see, and who you want to be can change with the Caribbean wind. And so can your plans.
The Musts
What to do in Quintana Roo

Tulum & Sian Ka'an Airplane Tour
Switch up your vantage point flying high above it all.

VIP Yacht & Snorkel to El Cielo
A decadent look at what the locals call the underwater “Sky”.

Chichen Itza & Sacred Cenote Tour
Explore Chichen Itza and swim in a natural watering hole.
Tulum & Sian Ka'an Airplane Tour
In this completely indulgent and intimate tour of Tulum and Sian Ka’an of a private plane, you can take in a new perspective of the diverse geography of the landscape — the water, the beaches, the jungle — and the Mayan ruins that tell the intricately complicated story of the region.

VIP Yacht & Snorkel to El Cielo
Taking a yacht off the coast of Cozumel, you’ll make your way to Colombia reef where you’ll snorkel with sea turtles, coral communities, barracudas, and schools of shimmer fish. Then, hop back on board and ride to the impossibly blue water of El Cielo.

Chichen Itza & Sacred Cenote Tour
The tour begins at Chichen Itza — one of the largest Mayan cities — now considered one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. As you wander through the ruins, you can feel the history and culture brimming from the sacred site.

Okay, but what is a cenote?
A natural well formed by the collapse of limestone — exposing water below.
Shore Excursions
The Amazing Secret River
Explore the region’s most unique natural treasure—a series of caverns connected by underground rivers known as “Mother Nature’s crystal museum."
DISCOVER MORE SHORE THINGS
Docking in Cozumel can often feel like you were let in on a secret that no one else knows — arriving somewhere with more possibilities than you could have ever imagined.
It’s just not three destinations in one — it’s three opportunities to explore a side of Mexico, and yourself, that you hadn’t considered. In a world punctuated by constantly locking your future into your calendar, the freedom to choose, do, and explore whatever side of yourself shows up when you disembark — is an intoxicating concept worthy of your well-earned time off.
