MAHOGANY BAY CRUISE CENTER NOW OPEN

 

Cruises are your best travel value! Save $1,000 or more compared to a land vacation!

CRUISE DAILY UPDATE  

MAHOGANY BAY CRUISE CENTER

The $62 million Mahogany Bay Cruise Center at Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras is officially open and is welcoming cruise ships. Reaction from cruise guests to the new facility has been outstanding!

More than five years in development, and two years under construction, Mahogany Bay Cruise Center encompasses 20 acres of waterfront property and includes a two-berth cruise terminal which can accommodate up to 8,000 passengers daily. It is a joint project of Carnival Corporation & plc and Roatan businessman Jerry Hynds. The Mahogany Bay Cruise Center offers a welcome center along with a variety of retail outlets, including two themed bars, a restaurant and several shops.

Unique to Mahogany Bay is a new chair lift system that takes cruise ship guests from the welcome center to beautiful Mahogany Beach, a 10-acre private island featuring an 825-foot-long white-sand beach with a beach volleyball court and a myriad of watersports opportunities. Eight exclusive cabanas are also available for rent.

The “Magical Flying Beach Chair” takes guests on a six-minute ride across nearly 1,200 feet of suspended cables, providing not only convenient beach access but views of the lush countryside as well. All-day passes for the beach chair lift are $5 per person. An elevated path is also available for those who prefer to walk.

For more information on the new Mahogany Bay Cruise Center, visit www.mahoganybaycc.com.
