Quetzal Wing – Progreso & Yucatan

About this cruise

5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from New Orleans on October 17, 2026 visits Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) and you'll feel it from day one. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Valor. 9 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 5-night sailing is a strong place to start.
