Tribute
Artist Todd Anderson is returning for his 4th straight Memories of the King cruise. His shows are delightfully entertaining for all ages. Todd's
voice, costumes and moves are an exciting depiction of an actual
Elvis concert. From the opening music of "Space Odyssey:
2001" Todd struts onstage delivering the powerful ballads and
tender love songs that Elvis made famous.
Todd's friendly interaction with his audience is quite remarkable
as he connects to them with humorous stage bits and beautiful satin
scarves. A very diversely talented entertainer, Todd also pleases audiences as Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Cruising with the King is happy to announce the return to our stage for the fourth time, crowd-pleaser Spencer Anderson, Todd's 11 year old son!

Costa Maya, once a trading
post for the Mayan Empire, is located in the Mexican Caribbean
and is best known for its jungles, beaches, lagoons and Mayan
ruins. Recent development and modern port facilities are making
Costa Maya the perfect port of call. With so many activities,
it will be hard to decide what to do first.

|
COZUMEL,
MEXICO
| |
The
Conquistadors first saw Mexico from the shores of Cozumel
while searching for gold. Today, visitors to the island continue
to seek out gold and silver jewelry in the shops of San Miguel
while having a great time in its many local bars and restaurants.
Plus, the waters around Cozumel's sheltered coral reefs make
this one of the best snorkeling areas in the world.
|
Don't miss
the opportunity to explore the ruins of the ancient Mayan
city of Tulúm, majestically perched above the turquoise
Caribbean. The site was occupied as far back as 600 A.D. However,
it was most densely populated around 1200 A.D.
You will be struck by the pyramid-shaped El Castillo, which
dominates the city from atop a forty-foot cliff. The nearby
Temple of the Descending God provides equally excellent insight
into the architecture of the Mayan people, who gained considerable
achievements in the arts and sciences, only to decline and
vanish for no apparent reason. |
| •
Castillo Real - (Royal
Castle)
• Cedral,
a small village is the agricultural center of Cozumel. Many
Mayan ruins can be found in and around its confines.
• Celarin
Lighthouse on the southwest
tip of the island. Fantastic view from the top if you can
handle the 127 steps.
• Chankanaab
Park
• Chichen-Itza,
Tulum & Coba - Mayan Riviera
• El
Cedral - Located about two
miles off the main highway, this is the easiest to reach of
Cozumel's ruins. It is believed to be the oldest on the island.
• Museo

showcasing Cozumel's history, people and natural geography. |
•
Museum of Indigenous
Instruments - Showcases
over 600 authentic pre-Hispanic instruments from all over
Mexico.
• Museo
de las Isla de Cozumel -
Cozumel Mexico

and the Spanish conquest and displays life in Cozumel from
the 1940's to today.
• San
Gervasio Mayan Ruins (pronounced
san-her-ba-see-oh) is a major excavation of Mayan ruins covering
an area of about 10 acres and situated in beautiful &
cool forest surroundings. While
not as impressive as Tulum or Chichen Itza, San Gervasio provides
you with a sense of the Mayan culture and history.
• San
Miguel - Cozumel Mexico
Cozumel's only town has kept some
of the flavor of a Mexican village. |
