Cruise ships provide two options in Jamaica: the famous port of Ocho Rios or the port city of Montego Bay (Mo Bay). Both of them are on the island’s northern shore, with Montego Bay about 70 miles further west, and both destinations are fitted to take even the largest ships with modern docks and characteristic tourist shopping facilities. The ports are quite far apart that visitors do not usually interact and crowds may look smaller than other top destinations.

When sailing at the port, guests on Jamaica cruises are invited to observe stunning views of Jamaica’s astonishing mountains. Both ports are well-planned to provide far-reaching views of the arrival point as well as access to shopping facilities and shore excursions.

There are many popular shore excursions in Jamaica that vary from cultural to dramatic discoveries of the island’s natural splendor. Yacht cruises, golf resorts, Dunn’s River Falls trips, historical expedition, safari, river rafting and tubing, horse riding, and Dolphin Cove tours are only a part of the planned tours offered from both Ocho Rios and Montego Bay.

Visit some of Jamaica’s top attractions, such as:

Dunn’s River Falls: This magnificent waterfall flows over 600 feet to the beach below in a terraced drop. Guests can climb the falls or they can just go down via the nearby boardwalks to share the magnificent sceneries.

Dolphin Cove: It is a lagoon with several domesticated dolphins that guests can touch, play with, or swim with. Little number of walking trails is well-marked to spot a variety of local plants, and a small shop provides usual souvenirs.

Reggae Xplosion: It is a museum in the Island Village complex that studies the origination and history of the definitely Jamaican music.

Beaches: Guests can choose among numerous charming beaches in both Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. Though many resorts offer the better settings and limited beach access, public beaches are abundant. If you are eager to find less crowded places, go further from the cruise dock.

Rose Hall Great House: This famed plantation home east of Montego Bay offers a rich Jamaican history, such as slavery, witchcraft, and murder, that led to many ghostly legends.
