Cruise ports in Cruises in Jamaica

Montego Bay on Jamaica’s northwest coast combines a Caribbean port of call with a coastal city and beach. Visitors looking to experience Jamaica during a port day can choose between staying around the Hip Strip and taking cultural or nature excursions farther inland. With a short port call, it helps to choose one main focus rather than trying to combine several destinations that are far apart.

Montego Bay is one of Jamaica’s major cruise ports. A visit to the city and beach offers a compact taste of the coast; destinations in the hills or neighboring regions take more time to reach. So tailor your plans to the time you have ashore and whether you’d prefer city life, the beach, or an excursion into the island’s interior. Ocho Rios lies farther east on Jamaica’s north coast, making it a different port location from Montego Bay.
