Basalt Coast – Cozumel & Stirrup Cay

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Galveston on December 26, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Costa Maya and Cozumel. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Liberty Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Galveston has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
