You can shop for beautiful Mexican silver or amber, hop a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida with local restaurants, bars, and shops. Down the coast from Playa, you may want to explore the ancient Mayan city of Tulum, perched impressively on a cliff, overlooking the brilliant sea and powdery sand beach below.

Shop in the duty-free boutiques of George Town and sample the rich Caribbean curries and rum cake. Tonight, join us for the last night of Hanukkah with our Amazing Journeys Hanukkah candle-lighting and celebration.
Thursday, January 2 – At Sea
Cruising – Spend the day relaxing poolside with your friends while enjoying your favorite beverage. Join us for Team Trivia or a Slot Tournament in the Casino.

This evening, we’ll come together for our Amazing Journeys Farewell Event, our community Shabbat Services and our farewell group dinner.
