Everything you need to know about your Holland America port day in Cozumel, from International Pier logistics to saving up to $100 per person on shore excursions.
Holland America ships dock at International Pier, located about 3 miles south of downtown Cozumel on the island’s western coast. The terminal features a large shopping village with duty-free stores, restaurants, and local vendors. On busy port days you may share the pier with other lines, but the HAL gangway area is well-organized and the walk through the terminal is straightforward.
Our guide meets you at the pier exit gate holding a Cozumel Cruise Tours sign. The walk from gangway to our meeting point is approximately 5 minutes through the shopping village. From there we walk to our nearby dock or vehicle depending on your tour. There is no shuttle fee, no taxi ride, and no additional cost of any kind.
Typical Holland America port times at Cozumel are 7 to 9 hours, with ships usually arriving at 7:00 AM and departing around 4:00 PM. Always verify your ship’s schedule in the HAL Navigator app the day before. Cozumel is a tender-free port, meaning you walk directly off the ship—no tender boat required.
