  1. Day 1

    Miami, USA

    Miami rewards travelers who look beyond its cruise terminals. South Beach pairs pastel Art Deco hotels with Ocean Drive; Little Havana serves Cuban coffee and music along Calle Ocho. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and nearby Design District reveal the city’s creative ambition. For a change of pace, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades place vivid natural landscapes within reach.

  2. Day 1

    Bimini Islands, Bahamas

    Bimini lies just 50 miles east of Miami, yet its pace belongs to the Out Islands. North and South Bimini are linked by a bridge, with Alice Town offering the islands’ main shops and restaurants. Come for clear water, reef diving and big-game fishing; Ernest Hemingway pursued marlin here in the 1930s. The shallow wreck of the SS Sapona, a concrete-hulled ship grounded in 1926, rewards snorkelers and divers.

  3. Day 4

    Costa Maya, Mexico

    Puerto Costa Maya sits on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, near the fishing village of Mahahual. The cruise terminal has restaurants, shops and pools; beyond it, the coast feels quieter than Cancún. Spend the day on Mahahual’s beaches, snorkel the Mesoamerican Reef, or head inland to Chacchoben’s Maya temples. For a longer excursion, Bacalar’s clear lagoon offers a striking change of scene.

  4. Day 5

    Cozumel, Mexico

    Cozumel, off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, pairs clear Caribbean water with a lively island town. San Miguel de Cozumel offers cafés, shops and a waterfront promenade within easy reach of the cruise piers. Beyond town, reef excursions reveal why divers travel here, while San Gervasio preserves the island’s Mayan history. Choose a beach day, a guided snorkel or a drive around the coast; each shows a different side of Cozumel.

  5. Day 7

    Progreso, Mexico

    Progreso gives you an easy first look at the Yucatán beyond the ship. Its long pier reaches the coast, where a broad malecón, seafood cafés and Gulf waters set an unhurried pace. Head inland to Mérida for colonial streets and Yucatecan cooking, or visit Dzibilchaltún, a Maya archaeological site near town. Progreso is a practical base for exploring the peninsula, with history and local flavor within reach.

  6. Day 9

    Galveston, USA

    Galveston pairs Gulf breezes with a past you can still read in its streets. On this barrier island, the Strand’s 19th-century buildings recall the port’s days as a major cotton-trading center. Explore the grand Victorian homes of the East End Historic District, then walk the seawall above the Gulf. Beaches, seafood, and Moody Gardens’ gardens and aquariums make a rewarding day ashore beyond the terminal.

  7. Day 11

    New Orleans, USA

    New Orleans makes a memorable port call. The Mississippi River runs beside a city shaped by French, Spanish, African, and American influences. From the French Quarter’s wrought-iron balconies to the Garden District’s grand homes, the city rewards unhurried exploration. Listen for brass bands, taste Creole and Cajun cooking, and ride the historic streetcar beneath live oaks. Leave time for the riverfront and beignets with café au lait. New Orleans is best savoured at its own pace.

  8. Day 15

    Miami, USA

    Miami rewards travelers who look beyond its cruise terminals. South Beach pairs pastel Art Deco hotels with Ocean Drive; Little Havana serves Cuban coffee and music along Calle Ocho. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and nearby Design District reveal the city’s creative ambition. For a change of pace, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades place vivid natural landscapes within reach.
