Golden Shores – Cozumel & Riviera Maya
About this cruise
You sail from Galveston on October 23, 2027 and spend 8 nights visiting Cozumel, Costa Maya and CocoCay. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Icon Of The Seas launched in 2024, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Galveston and come back with stories from Mexico and Bahamas.
