Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Puntarenas | Cruise port - sweet-and-bitter experience

Join us as we arrive in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, one of the major cruise ports on the Pacific side of Central America. After visiting Puerto Limón on the Atlantic side earlier in our AIDA Weltreise 2025, we were curious to see how Puntarenas would compare — and the result turned out to be a surprisingly sweet-and-bitter experience.

In this video we explore Paseo de los Turistas, the local beach, the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the surrounding streets, sharing honest impressions about the town, the atmosphere, the food, and the challenges this port is facing.
If your world cruise or holiday cruise stops in Puntarenas — whether you're traveling with AIDA, MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Princess Cruises or any other line — this video will give you a real insight into what to expect when stepping off the ship.

Costa Rica is famous for its jungles, wildlife and pura vida lifestyle — but Puntarenas shows a different side of the country. We talk about the positives, the local culture, delicious snacks, and also the environmental issues visible right in the cruise port area.
At the end of the peninsula you’ll also find the Puntarenas lighthouse — a scenic spot you can walk to directly from the pier.

This stop is part of our AIDA Weltreise 2025 / AIDA World Cruise 2025, and our journey continues next to Guatemala, where we’ll explore the magical colonial city of Antigua. Join us for more travel videos from the Pacific and beyond!
