The Banana Coast, the western Caribbean's newest cruise port,
welcomed its first cruise ship to Trujillo, Honduras earlier this week. Travel Dynamics
International's 130-passenger Yorktown made the inaugural visit and is
scheduled to return next Monday. After tendering ashore Yorktown passengers
were greeted by performances by Garifuna musicians, browsed locally made crafts
and set out on tours to the nearby rain forest or relaxed on the beach. Banana
Coast was included in Yorktown's 'Tropical Islands, Rain Forests & Ancient
Sites of Central America' itinerary. Banana Coast has shopping, a newly built
tender dock, reception center and transportation hub as well as 10 acres of
beachfront in the town of Trujillo, which was established in 1525.
Diverse
shore excursions feature the region's Spanish colonial heritage and lush
tropical setting with cultural, historical, soft adventure and eco-tour
offerings. Five cruise lines have scheduled 20 calls on eight ships at
Honduras' first mainland cruise destination. Holland America Line was the first
major cruise operator to commit to a series of calls beginning in November 2014
through March 2015. Silversea Cruises has calls in December 2014 and March
2015. P&O Cruises and Oceania Cruises are booked in the first quarter of
2015.
