Caribbean Grand Tour – Nassau & Cozumel

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Port Canaveral on December 19, 2026 visits Nassau, Ocean Cay, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Cozumel and Costa Maya. With 5 port days and 5 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Mexico. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Grandiosa takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 1 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
