West Caribbean Cruise & Stay
This Caribbean Cruise Stay offers a fantastic combination of a city break and a sun-soaked voyage. Your journey begins with a three-night stay in Miami, Florida, staying at the 4-star Cavalier Hotel South Beach. This gives you ample time to settle into the relaxed Floridian pace of life, wander through the historic Art Deco district, and enjoy the world-renowned beaches before heading to the port. Our Travel Escapes advisors have organised this itinerary to ensure you get the best of both worlds—vibrant city life and the relaxation of the open sea.
After your time in Miami, you will board the Independence of the Seas for a five-night cruise. This ship is well-regarded for its wide range of activities and dining options, including the Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade and glow-in-the-dark laser tag. Onboard, you will enjoy full-board dining, meaning your meals are included while you sail. The cruise takes you to the beautiful island of Cozumel in Mexico, a location steeped in history and natural beauty. Here, you can immerse yourself in local culture or simply enjoy the crystalline waters and tropical fish that make this region so popular with travellers.
One of the true highlights of this trip is a stop at Royal Caribbean’s award-winning private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas. This is not your typical port of call; it is a dedicated island experience where you can choose between high-energy thrills and complete relaxation. From the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean at Oasis Lagoon to the towering waterslides at Thrill Waterpark, there is something for every taste. For those seeking a more tranquil afternoon, Chill Island provides the perfect spot to unwind in a hammock with the sound of the waves in the background.
Throughout the trip, all your major logistics are handled by our team. We include return flights from Dublin, a 23kg check-in bag, and all necessary transfers between the airport, hotel, and port. This is a straightforward, great value holiday designed for those who want to see the best of the Western Caribbean without any of the stress of planning the details themselves. Whether you are exploring the Mayan history of Cozumel or enjoying a drink at a swim-up bar on a private island, this holiday is built around making memories in the sunshine.
