Jade & Amber Trail – Cozumel & Progreso

About this cruise

Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Galveston on December 21, 2026, spends 5 nights visiting Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida), and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. 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. People come back from this cruise talking about Cozumel: Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 7 restaurants on Carnival Miracle, 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. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
