Honduras
Banana Coast Cruise Destination

Honduras’ colonial town of Trujillo was developed into Central America’s first mainland cruise destination. The privately capitalized port operated from 2014 to 2020 and hosted most major cruise lines for ship calls.

The Bay of Trujillo is natural harbor and was a landing spot of Christopher Columbus in 1502 during his final voyage to the New World.  It is located 22 miles south of Roatan.  The destination is located within the heart of the colonial city, near the Santa Barbara Fort, its cannons and along charming cobblestone streets.

The themed retail destination included retail shopping, local arts and crafts, and a restaurant and bar. The ten-acre site is home to a large, sandy beach. Banana Coast received Porthole Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award for New Destinations in 2012.
