Epic Waterway Adventure – Seattle to Galveston

About this cruise

If you've got 16 nights to work with, this sailing from Seattle on September 26, 2026 through Cabo San Lucas, Puntarenas, Panama Canal, Cartagena and Galveston is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. The sailing ends in Galveston. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and United States, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Puntarenas: Costa Rica's Pacific coast of cloud forests and volcanoes. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Miracle keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
