    Day Date Port of Call Arrival Departure
    1 Saturday, December 28, 2024 New Orleans, USA Embark 4:00 PM
    View of New Orleans, USA

    New Orleans (“N’awlins”) is a city and seaport in the northern Gulf of Mexico in the SE of the state of Louisiana, USA. Renowned for its lying below the level of the amazing Mississippi River, and the subsequent massive underground drainage system, it is surely one of the world's most fascinating cities. Steeped in a history of influences from Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and beyond, it has a brilliant mosaic of culture, architecture, food, and music. Read more about New Orleans, USA

    3 Monday, December 30, 2024 Progreso, Mexico 7:00 AM 3:00 PM
    View of Progreso, Mexico

    Progreso, a small port city in Yucatan on the Gulf of Mexico, is best known for its 6km long pier where cruise ships regularly dock. With no resort developments and a tourist infrastructure that caters mostly to domestic visitors, exploring Progreso is a wonderful experience as it is still somewhat rustic and quaint. Its beaches are world class with palapa restaurants popping up everywhere. Read more about Progreso, Mexico

    4 Tuesday, December 31, 2024 Cozumel, Mexico 8:00 AM 5:00 PM
    View of Cozumel, Mexico

    Cozumel is a Caribbean island just off the Yucatan Peninsula in SE Mexico. It has grown steadily over the years since Jacques Cousteau first put the island on the map as a sea turtle sanctuary. While it has great beaches, friendly people and safe streets, with prices comparable to other Mexican tourist destinations, most visitors travel to Cozumel to see what is under the water.

    5 Wednesday, January 1, 2025 George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands 11:00 AM 7:00 PM
    View of George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

    George Town is located on the island of Grand Cayman, the largest of the three islands in the Cayman Islands of the British West Indies. It is the largest city and capital of the Cayman Islands. All three - Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman - are coral outcrops surrounded by healthy coral reefs and dramatic walls close to shore, creating ideal conditions for the best diving and snorkelling found in the Caribbean.
