Where is the Progreso (Mérida) cruise port?
Ships dock at a roughly 330 m cruise pier with two berths and a modern terminal at the end of the Terminal Remota, Progreso's very long pier. Pedestrians aren't allowed on the pier, so a free shuttle bus provided by the port runs every 10–20 minutes to the Auto Progreso bus station in town (about 15 minutes), a few blocks from the beach. Auto Progreso buses run from the station (Calle 29 x 80) to Merida's Calle 62 terminal.

About Progreso (Mérida)
Progreso is the Gulf of Mexico port for Merida, the colonial capital of Yucatan, about 43 km inland. Because the Yucatan shelf is so shallow, ships dock at a terminal at the end of a pier about 6.5 km offshore.
The town's beach and malecon are a short walk from the shuttle drop-off, and Merida and the Maya site of Dzibilchaltun are easy day trips. Pedestrians aren't allowed on the pier, so a free shuttle runs every 10–20 minutes to the Auto Progreso bus station, from where buses go to Merida.
