Sunken Empire Trail – Costa Maya & Progreso
About this cruise
You board in Tampa on February 26, 2028 for 6 nights visiting Costa Maya and Progreso (Mérida), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Costa Maya alone is worth the trip, 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 8 restaurants on Serenade Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. Tampa itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Worth booking. That's the short version.
