Holland America First to Return to Costa Maya

Good news! The reconstruction of Costa Maya -- a man-made port on Mexico's Riviera Maya that was all but destroyed by Hurricane Dean last August -- is ahead of schedule. In fact, docks have already been rebuilt to accommodate ships as large as Oasis of the Seas. Holland America's Westerdam will be the first ship to dock in Costa Maya on October 31.

Westerdam will also visit Costa Maya on November 21 and December 12. Other HAL ships returning to the port in 2008 include Veendam and Statendam.
