Expensive, old travelers, nothing to do on board, seasickness… even though cruises are more popular than ever, there are still too many wrong believes about them. Let’s try to differentiate reality from fiction.

Fiction n˚1 Cruising is something from the past
Unlike many think, cruising business is better than ever. As a matter of fact, the market is growing every year, the biggest growing cruising market being the U.S. The popularity of cruises is so that more and more people now prefer cruises over all inclusive resorts.

Fiction n˚2 Cruising is only for an elite class and is always expensive
Okay, back in the Titanic days, cruising wasn’t meant for everyone. Only rich people were able to afford a ticket to cruise along the Mediterannean sea or the Caribbean sea. But since, the cost of cruising has drastically dropped with the affordability of air flights. Cruises lines where then able to offer affordable packages for everyone. Moreover, the ships being bigger, they can welcome more people on board, leading to a decrease in price. Newer cruise ships are real palaces of lights and glass and can accomodate over 5000 passengers! Moreover, just like almost every type of travelling, you can take advantages of early bookings or last minute bookings, where you can save up to 50% of the regular cost.

Fiction n˚3 Boring on board…
The biggest worry is probably to get bored on board. But did you know that most cruise ships have many pools, restaurants, bars, dance clubs, movie theatres, tennis courts, gymnasiums, and even shopping malls… It is actually difficult to get bored on board! Plus, most of the time, you will visiting new towns, new countries, new ports. Cruises allow you to travel the best places in the world, without the inconvenience of traveling with your suitcase, or of booking new hotels and finding transportation.

Fiction n˚4 Only old people take cruises
Until recently, cruise lines were targeting an older market. But nowadays, travelers are younger than ever. Families and honeymooners now represent the main customers. In the U.S. only, the average cruise traveler age went from 60 to 45 years old…

Fiction n˚5 Cruise ships are always colossal
If you prefer the intimacy and ambiance of a smaller group, without the constant movement of thousands of people around you, you will be happy to learn that cruise lines also offer medium size ships, which offer a more private type of cruise.

Fiction n˚6 Everybody gets seasick…
Even if you easily get motion sickness during car rides or flights, it is unlikely you will get sick on a cruise ship, due to their enormous size and their stabilizing systems. There can be some rougher parts of the ocean, and if, unfortunately, you do feel seasick, medication can be provided and will make you feel better in no time.

One of the most popular Caribbean destination is with no doubt Mexico. Every year, thousands of tourists stream to the beautiful hotels and resorts of Mexico. The country attracts tourists from around the world not only for the stunning beaches, but also for its great history and monuments. For examples, thousands and thousands of tourists visit each year the pre-colombian era sites in Yucatán, such as Teotihuacán or Chichen Itza), discovering a combination of the best Mexoco has to offer, from the great Mayan civilizations, to the colonial towns and Baroque churches, to the amazing beaches and charming villages and towns.

To help you find your way through the numerous citie, towns and attractions of Mexico, we made you a summarized guide of Mexico.

Mexico City
First, Mexico city, the capital. The capital of the country, Mexico city, is a must-do and see when traveling to Mexico. Indeed, this vibrant city has so much to offer, including such as strong cultural heritage, inherited from the Spanish influence combined with the culture of the native people hundreds of years ago. The downtown of Mexico city is home to several historical sites, an attestation of the pre-Colombian culture and civilizations. For example, what is left from the Mayor temple, near Zocalo, is still stunning and we can imagine the stupefaction of the conquistadors when they first discovered the glory of the Aztec empire.

Key stop, the Anthropology museum, where you will find the most beautiful recollection of treasures left by the ancient mesoamerican civilizations.

Zocalo
By the time consquistador Hernán Cortés reached Tenochtitlan, the civilization of the people who built Teotihucan were long gone. However, the relic of their civilization site still remains, located at about 25 miles from the capital.

Teotihuacan
The city of Puebla is reknown for its ceramics, which are often used as ornaments in colonial houses of Puebla historic site, listed as a World’s Heritage by UNESCO. Two must-see structures are the Santo Domingo church which main chapel is covered with nothing else but gold, a great example of the Baroque influence on the Mexican culture, and the famous pyramid of Cholula, located only a few miles away.

Monte-Alban
Oaxaca is full of charming surf towns, well known for their laid-back atmosphere and vibe. In Oaxaca, life doesn’t get any better. Relax with a glass of mezcal, a plate of warm tortilla, on a patio under a shadowed area and listening to merengues, cantinas and other cumbias. The pre-Colombian site of Monte Alban, was one of the first cities in mesoamerica, and the ancient capital of Zapotec.

San Cristóbal de las Casas
Stroll around San Cristóbal de las Casas, located in the central highlands of Chiapas. This pretty colonical town with narrow cobblestone streets and red-tiles roof houses is home to different native groups. Don’t miss San Juan Chamula, a Mayan village, one of the most traditional town in the country. There is one rule in San Juan Chamula, be discreet when taking pictures, cameras are not welcomed!

Palenque
Palenque itself has no real attraction, but nearby you will find one Mexico’s most impressive archaeological park. Some of its site is still roped off to tourists and covers treasures of hundreds of year old. Surrounding the site is a lush forest home to wildlife such as colorful toucans or howling monkeys.

Uxmal
Located as less than two hours road from Mérida, one of the biggest historic sites in America, Uxmal is the most known Mayan site in all of Mexico. The scenic site of Chichèn Itzà is not quite as impressive but its Puuc architecture offer some of the most colorful and graphic views of all pre-Columbian sites. Chichèn Itzà is such a big site that you need to plan at least a good three hours to finish the entire site.

Izamal
This peninsula is also home to colonical municipalities, such as Valladolid or Campeche. Of course, Mérida is a must see in the area.

Tulum
Located only an hour away from Playa del Carmen, Tulum is well known for its scenic temple built by the beach. This is simply a breathtaking site, and you will truly understand there the expression : an image is worth 1000 words.

Playa del Carmen
Last but not least is old fishing town of Playa del Carmen, now a popular touristic spot. Lots of shops, boutiques, posadas (small hotels) and restaurants runs along the amazing beach of Quita Avenida.

At night, hundreds of tourists flocks the patios of the multiple restaurants and bars, enjoying the festive atmosphere while musicians entertain the streets with joyful songs.

Sustainable eco-tourism

The Fairmont hotel, often synonym to luxury and comfort, is going eco-green for the adventurous travelers who wants more to do more than to achieve the perfect tan by the beach or spend the full day drinking at the pool swim bar.

Collaborating with the National Geographic Society, Fairmont created The Global Explorer Series, a unique series of events and activities. The Global Explorer Series, which in its second year, has expanded the range of activities and events it has to offer. New chapters has been added to the program, such as the sea animal exhibition.

Among the many excursions available are snorkeling, diving, boat excursions, underwater photography, trips to UNESCO World’s Heritage Sites and many other live events.

For example, guests might meet guest speakers such as legendary oceanographe Sylvia Earle in Riviera Maya before heading to a guided tour of the largest archaeological site of the Maya civilization. Oceans cover over 70% of planet Earth, and it is important to increase awareness to our oceans, but also what garbage goes to our sewers and waters.

These types of experience and programs are becoming more and more popular in Caribbean high end hotels, who are becoming more than ever environmentally more conscious.
