Margarita Island, which is also called the Pearl of the Caribbean, is located southeast of the Caribbean Sea, northeast of Venezuela. And in the case of Venezuela, anything is possible, and among those things that happen is that This paradisiacal destination has left the agendas of the most important cruises for next year and the end of this 2016.
Eye, I'm not saying that you can't take a cruise to Isla Margarita but that you're just going to have to look for it a little more, which can even be an attraction and make it an exclusive destination, which is not inaccessible.
The news, as it has appeared in the specialized travel media, is that Pullmantur, has removed Margarita Island from its itineraries, and the port of La Guaira, also in Venezuela.
One of the reasons that the shipping company has alleged for making the decision is that the Viloria docking dock does not have the best port infrastructure. The port authorities of Isla Margarita estimate that between 30.000 and 50.000 international tourists will not reach the island, which will directly affect the regional economy. In the 2015-2016 season that ended last May, 38.981 foreign tourists entered.
As I was saying, The fact that this operator does not offer its traditional Caribbean Tropical trip, or not at least with a stopover in Margarita Island, does not mean that you cannot travel to this spectacular island, that leaving from Spain had the advantage of the direct flight Madrid-Santo Domingo included in the cost of the trip. But other companies and travel pages continue to offer it, although it is about cruises that do not contemplate the possibility of the flight included, for example.or both Cristal Cruises and Oceania Cruises continue to arrive on the island, and they even have cruises available for 2018, although the departures are from the port of Miami.
This is if you want to cruise from abroad with a round the world or Caribbean itinerary, but you always have the option of arriving in Venezuela and there hiring a cruise through the islands of Coche and Cubagua, which together with Isla Margarita constitutes the island state of Nueva Esparta, with the national company.
