Cruise to Honduras: the hidden Caribbean

A large swathe of this country lies on the Caribbean Sea, making Honduras a key point of call for luxury MSC cruise liners on our Caribbean cruise itineraries. This lush little country is renowned for its beautiful climate that encourages the growth and trade of exotic fruit such as pineapple, papaya, passion fruit and banana.

Spanish is the official language, the currency, Lempira, can be used to purchase traditional local goods such as ceramics, leather goods and silver. MSC cruise ships call at the island of Roatan, located 30 miles off the Honduran coast. This Caribbean ‘Bay Island’ offers a true slice of holiday paradise, boasting powder sand beaches, dream diving and a huge array of exotic furry, freaky and feathered friends such as lizards, monkeys and macaws.

This natural beauty is complimented with plenty of culture, which abounds in the delightful capital of Coxen Hole and the surrounding little towns of French Harbour, West End and Oak Ridge.
