Maya Relic – Cozumel & Great Stirrup Cay

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Galveston on September 14, 2026 visits Costa Maya and Cozumel and makes every day count. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Costa Maya stands out. It's Mexico's quieter Caribbean escape among Mayan ruins. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 12 restaurants on Mariner Of The Seas, 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
