Cenote & Ruin Rush – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 5 nights from Galveston on January 15, 2028, visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida), and you're home before the laundry piles up. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Don't rush through Progreso (Mérida), which is known as Gateway to the ancient Mayan world of Yucatán. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Horizon, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Galveston itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All told, 2 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
