Ancient Archway – Yucatan & Merida

About this cruise

Book 5 days off from October 30, 2027 and this cruise from New Orleans will do the rest, taking you to Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) and back. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Don't rush through Cozumel, which is known as Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Dream has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 2 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
