Visiting Cancun for the First Time? Here's What to See and Do
Here's everything you need to know to make the most of your first trip to Cancun.
Board the pirate ship, a replica of the Santa Maria galleon, in Cancun. Meet the pirates over a playful reception with live music. On-board, enjoy games, comedy, dancing and a fully orchestrated theatrical performance. There are special activities for younger guests, including a scavenger hunt. Adults can enjoy free-flowing drinks from the full open bar. All guests enjoy dinner with pre-selected mains, sides, and a salad bar. End the cruise with a dazzling fireworks show over the water.
Book your tickets ahead of time to guarantee entry, as they can sell out. Upgrade your ticket for better seats, or to take advantage of a deluxe dinner menu that includes lobster and surf and turf. Special packages that include a sightseeing trip to Tulum or Chichen Itza are also available.
*The Jolly Rogers Pirate Ship is suitable for families with kids, and anyone with an interest in pirate lore. *The ship does sail around the Caribbean Sea for the duration of the experience. *Wear comfortable shoes, and bring a sweater or light layer.

The Jolly Rogers Pirate Ship sets sail from the Embarcadero of Playa Linda, located in the Cancun Hotel Zone. Round-trip transport from your hotel in Cancun and Riviera Maya can be arranged for an extra cost.
The Jolly Roger Pirate Ship sets sail every day of the week at 6:30pm. Guests should arrive 30 minutes before sailing time to check in. The show lasts around 3.5 hours. Allow extra time for transport to and from your hotel.
