Bahamas, Mexico, & Grand Cayman Cruise

Your cruise and stay holiday to Florida in 2023 begins in Fort Lauderdale, often referred to as the Venice of America due to its intra-coastal waterways & spectacular marinas. Hone to year round sunshine, long stretches of palm tree strewn beaches, quaint boutiques and art galleries on the boulevard ‘Las Olas’ and a town that comes alive at night with a fantastic nightlife, there’s plenty to do in Fort Lauderdale.

Start your Caribbean vacation early with a day at Las Olas beach before departing Fort Lauderdale. Swim with dolphins and stingrays in Nassau. Explore ancient Mayan ruins near Costa Maya, go snorkeling in Cozumel, and stroll down Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.

After your stay in Fort Lauderdale, you’ll board Celebrity Cruise’s Celebrity Beyond for your cruise and set sail across the glimmering waters of the Caribbean. Your first port of call is Nassau were there are bustling markets and placid beaches are like the yin and yang of this capital of The Bahamas. The Nassau Straw Market, three blocks from the port, presents a riot of vendors, shoppers, and pirates, while the broad white beaches, minutes from town, feature sun-kissed sands, turquoise waters, and coral reefs. Costa Maya which boasts beautiful beaches, ideal for divers and snorkelers alike who enjoy exploring the beautiful Banco Chinchorro coral reef that lies just off the coast. History buffs will surely love exploring the lesser-known Mayan ruins, Cacchoben and Kohunlich; meanwhile there’s something for everyone at the new shopping mall, which, while great for shopping, also features a central plaza with saltwater pools and ‘swim-up’ bars.

You’ll also visit Cozumel in Mexico, another great spot for divers and snorkelers. Or you might prefer to simply curl up on the beach in a hammock with a cold one. Shop for souvenirs in San Miguel. Or, hop a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida for more inviting restaurants, bars, and shops.

No destination blends global finance with the Caribbean lifestyle quite like the Cayman Islands. This upscale destination offers world-class restaurants, designer boutiques, and duty-free shopping, plus white sand beaches, brilliant blue waters, and teeming coral reefs.
