Costa Rica Cruises

Costa Rica is known for its evergreen rainforests, sprawling national parks, pristine beaches, incredible wildlife and marine life. So whether you’re a culture vulture, beach bum, wildlife enthusiast, or simply looking to unwind and relax with nature – there are so many things to enjoy in this Central America oasis!

Generally, the high season for a Costa Rica cruise is during the dry period, which usually runs between December and April. This season offers the best weather and convenient travelling conditions – perfect for wildlife viewing, basking on the beach and outdoor adventures. If you want to avoid the large crowds, you can schedule your holiday during the rainy season, from May to November. Whilst it can be wet, this is also considered the green season, when nature is at its lushest and the crowds are much lesser.

Yes, Costa Rica is home to several cruise ports. There are ports that welcome cruise ships both on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Puntarenas is the main cruise port on the Pacific coast, whilst Puerto Limon is for the Caribbean. There are also smaller ports in the Pacific, such as Golfito and the offshore Cocos Island.

Spanish is the dominant and official language used in Costa Rica. It’s also the official language of the six countries in Central America. You’ll also find English widely spoken in major cities, particularly among those working in the tourism industry. Still, it'll be helpful to learn a few Spanish words and phrases to be able to interact and communicate with the locals during your visit.
