Tropical Escape – Progreso & Cozumel

About this cruise

5 nights from Tampa, visiting Progreso (Mérida) and Cozumel. It sails November 22, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. Of the stops, Cozumel tends to be the one people talk about: Mexico's Caribbean island of Mayan mystery. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Radiance Of The Seas has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
