Cruise enthusiasts traveling to Jamaica on the world's largest cruise ship can use the 32-acre, two-berth Historic Falmouth Port.

The Navigator of the Seas will use the port after a $220 million project under development by Royal Caribbean Limited in partnership with the Port Authority of Jamaica for the berthing of the cruise line's Genesis class ship, the newest and largest class of cruise ships.

Historic Falmouth will offer visitors a new port experience featuring walking tours of the 240-year-old town. Additionally, passengers will have access to 60 attractions in the surrounding area and in nearby Ocho Rios and Montego Bay.

Points of interest in the historic town of Falmouth include Water Square, the Cannon and Armoury at Fort Balcarres; St. Peter's Anglican Church; Tharp House; Old Baptist Manse; William Knibb Memorial Baptist Church; the luminous Glistening Waters Lagoon; Albert George Market and historic court house.
