Western Caribbean & Perfect Day 8 nätter • Galveston, Texas • Symphony of the Seas

When you cruise from Galveston, you’re in for big thrills before you even set foot onboard the ship. A favorite vacation stop among families, this fun-loving seaside city in Texas offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty and warm southern hospitality. Start your visit with a Texas-style breakfast in the historic Strand District, the pulsing heart of the city and a hub of antique shops, restaurants and bars. Make time for a walk along the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, home to lots of family-friendly rides, games and other attractions. Then explore Galveston’s illustrious history on a scenic stroll past well-preserved Victorian mansions and centuries-old landmark buildings. If you visit Galveston, you must dedicate a bit of time to the city’s museums, which host exhibits on all kinds of topics — from Galveston’s history with oil and railroads to the pirates and corsairs that haunt the Gulf Coast’s rich and colorful past.

Fartyget avgår exakt kl 4:00 em, så planera att anlända minst 2–3 timmar dessförinnan för ge tid för incheckning och ombordstigning. Under denna tid är många av fartygets bekvämligheter öppna och igång, så påbörja semestern tidigt om du vill.

This isn’t vacation days spent. This is bragging rights earned. Conquer the tallest waterslide in the Caribbean and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana.

Perfect Day at CocoCay är uppdelad i 10 unika kvarter, alla med sina egna aktiviteter. Det finns massor av saker att göra gratis runtom på ön, samt premiumupplevelser att köpa. Sju av kvarteren har gratis inträde, och tre har inträdesavgift: Thrill Waterpark, Coco Beach Club och Hideaway Beach (endast för vuxna).

Past meets present in Costa Maya. Venture into the jungle for a glimpse of Maya history at the Chacchoben and Kohunlich ruins. Or kick back in the village of Mahahual, where you can hit the beach and sip micheladas— a spicy beer cocktail. The best of both worlds awaits.

Cozumel blends Mexican culture with Caribbean vibes. You can explore its Maya roots in Tulum, or discover a secret world of sea life as you snorkel beneath the waves in Chankanaab. And there’s no better way to close out a day of adventure than with an ice cold michelada and a beachside massage at Playa Mia.

Afternoons in Galveston are typically filled with sun, seafood and southern charms. Paddle a kayak through the island’s wetlands. Peel open steamy Gulf shrimp in a waterfront dive. Explore Moody Garden’s interactive wildlife exhibits. Or top off your cruise adventure with a sky-high Ferris wheel ride at Pleasure Pier, overlooking the tranquil Gulf Coast.

Kryssningen må vara över, men det finns fortfarande fantastiska aktiviteter att avnjuta i området. Om du flög till den här hamnen, håll koll på din avgångsflygtid och planera därefter.
