Cobalt Tides – Nassau & Costa Maya

About this cruise

This is the kind of trip that just works. 5 nights from Miami, visiting Nassau and Costa Maya, sailing December 12, 2026, and nothing about it feels forced. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 2 stops with a breather between each one. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Freedom Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
