Carnival's Celebration

Your 4 or 5 day Mexico vacation begins in Galveston, Texas, just an hour’s drive from Houston. The convenience of leaving from this historic Southwest city makes it easy to get away for a few days to see the very best of the Western Caribbean. Sail from Thursday to Monday for an exciting long weekend and escape to Cozumel where you’ll explore ancient ruins, shop in colorful, open-air markets and snorkel in breathtaking waters. Or start your vacation on Saturday or Monday and we’ll take you to Cozumel and Calica/Cancun where you’ll enjoy beautiful beaches and exciting nightlife. The best part is you’ll be back, refreshed and restored in less than a week!

Destinations

Galveston - Texas
The City of Galveston is located on the upper Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico and occupies virtually all of a 32 mile long island located approximately two miles off the Texas mainland 50 miles southeast of Houston, Texas. Principal economic support is provided by the Port of Galveston and related interest, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and other health institutions, financial institutions, tourism, shrimping, and fishing.
 
Mexico - Cozumel
Cozumel, Mexico’s largest island and top Caribbean dive destination, lies 12 miles off the Yucatán Peninsula, separated by a 3,000-ft-deep channel. Dense jungle foliage covers most of this island’s interior, but its surrounding coast welcomes visitors with miles of luxuriant, white sand beaches.

Topside tourist activity centers around San Miguel, the island’s cultural and commercial center, which boasts an impressive seaside maze of shops, cantinas and restaurants. An ultra-modern cruise-ship terminal accommodates daily-arriving ocean liners and ferries from the mainland
 
Mexico - Calica
Calica, three miles south of Playa del Carmen, is the newest gateway, appearing as a port of call on cruise itineraries for the first time this year. The brand new port was developed primarily as an industrial/ commercial port by private investors; cruise ship docking facilities were added only recently. Like Playa del Carmen, Calica has the advantage of being about an hour's drive from either Cancun or Tulum. It also has benefits from being located next door to Xcaret, a popular nature and recreational theme park which is rapidly becoming one of the most popular attractions in the Yucatan.
