Browse by trip length & budget
Port days are short, so choose by time available. A 4 to 6 hour excursion suits Mérida or a cenote. Longer ones need an early docking and a late departure.
Typical group prices:
Most visitors choose a single highlight, such as Mérida plus a market lunch, rather than trying to do everything.
| Excursion | Typical duration | Typical price (USD, per person) |
|---|
| Mérida city tour | 4 to 5 hours | 60 to 100 |
| Izamal and hacienda | 6 to 7 hours | 80 to 130 |
| Cenote and beach | 5 to 6 hours | 70 to 120 |
| Uxmal, private | 8 to 9 hours | 300 to 650 per vehicle |
Private vs. small-group options
Independent excursions can cost less than cruise-line offerings, but your ship will not wait if you are late. A private tour gives you a driver tracking the clock and a plan to return you in good time.
Small groups cost less and still run to a schedule. Private is the safer pick for tight timetables.
What's included
Typical inclusions, confirmed in your quote:

- Meals, drinks and tips are usually separate
When to go
Cruise calls vary by season, and some ships visit in the cooler months and some year-round. Midday is hot, so early morning and shaded stops help. Check your cruise line for docking times.
Please send your ship's schedule when you ask about Progreso shore excursions.
How booking works
Send your ship name, date, arrival and all-aboard times, number of guests and interests, and we will propose what fits.
FAQs
What time do I need to be back?
Ships usually require passengers on board before a stated all-aboard time. We plan the itinerary with a safety buffer.
Can I see Chichén Itzá from Progreso?
It is a very long day, usually around three hours each way from port, so it is rarely realistic. Uxmal or Mérida fit better.
How far is Mérida from the port?
About 40 to 50 minutes by road, depending on traffic.
Do I need cash?
Pesos are useful at markets and small shops. Ask us about what to bring.
Can you meet the ship?
Pickup at the port gate can be arranged. We will confirm the meeting point.
