With only a sec to look around, I think one way is a ferry via Cuba.....

To be honest, I have never heard of a ferry from Mexico to Jamaica.
Surprisingly there are very few ferries operating in the Caribbean. Those
that do usually operate from larger to smaller islands, like Antigua to
Barbuda or St. Martin to Anguilla. You may want to look at picking up a
cruise ship in the Cancun/Cozumel/Playa del Carmel area. The "Western
Caribbean" cruise itineraries usually include Mexico, Cayman Islands and
Jamaica. If they have space, they may well sell you a cabin as long as you
have all the correct travel documentation.

Good luck
Martin

Pretty sure there aren't any ferries from Mexico to Cuba but a return flight only costs about $90.

I was curious so I called this company: http://www.jamaica-vacation.com/ and a travel agent there said she has never heard of a Mexico-Jamaica ferry/cruise.

That's decent. Plus, with a little more time I went into some other forums about Cuba/Mexico and there's no ferry. Apparently just an imagined one that stopped operating in the '90's. smile.gif PLlus, as Louise wrote, I couldn't find a stitch of info on a cruise OR ferry (very long shot) between the two.

Think you're flying guys......at least it's cheap smile.gif

Hi Rbisset,

Wherever do you get the US$ 90.00 RT fare from Mexico to Cuba from? On the Cubana website Cancun/Havana comes out at US$ 300.00!
