Why wait for a long vacation when you can escape on a quick family getaway that creates the core memories you crave? Explore multiple countries, feast on an array of tantalizing dishes, catch several amazing shows and relax under the sun in just a few days. How is this possible? Royal Caribbean® makes it easy with their short 3-, 4- and 5-night Caribbean itineraries.
Stop at the new Paradise Island
Many of Royal Caribbean’s shorter itineraries launch from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa or Port Canaveral to go island-hopping in the Caribbean. Not only can you visit several exciting islands in a short time, but you’ll also have the opportunity to visit their private destinations: Perfect Day CocoCay® and Royal Beach ClubSM Paradise Island.
Cruises also depart from Galveston, Texas, where your Western Caribbean itinerary can include two stops in Mexico. In Costa Maya, you can visit the nearby archaeological sites of Chacchoben and Kohunlich or go snorkeling over the Meso-American Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef in the world. While in Cozumel, you can explore an underwater cavern in the middle of the jungle and discover the wonders of ancient Maya cenotes.
Test your balance on FlowRider the surf simulator or race down the Perfect Storm twin waterslides onboard.
Your Time On Board
Even though you’ll visit multiple destinations on one of these shorter cruise vacations, you’ll still have plenty of time on board to enjoy the most innovative ships at sea. Foodies will want to hit The Mason JarSM Southern Restaurant & Bar for Bayou staples and bold BBQ or head to Izumi Hibachi & SushiSM, an omakase-inspired private dining experience curated just for your crew.
Adventure seekers can plunge 10 stories down the tallest slide at sea, The Ultimate AbyssSM, or take on the twisting, turning waterslide trio of The Perfect StormSM. And everyone in your crew will love coming together at night for SpotlightSM Karaoke, spectacular splashes at the AquaTheater or standing-ovation-worthy Broadway at SeaSM shows.
Race the family down Splash Summit at Thrill Waterpark.
The Ultimate Destinations
Many of Royal Caribbean’s short itineraries feature full-day stops at Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day CocoCay. With 10 unique neighborhoods to choose from, it’s easy to find your own slice of paradise. Here, your littlest kids can spend all day at Splashaway BaySM water park or at Captain Jill’s Galleon for swashbuckling fun. Bigger kids will want to head straight to Thrill Waterpark® to get swept up by the biggest wave pool in the Caribbean or take the 135-foot plunge at Daredevil’s Peak®.
What about adults?
Some prefer to grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene at Oasis Lagoon®, the largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas. Others opt for the Coco Beach Club®, home to the first Overwater Cabanas in the Bahamas, freshly made smoothies and beachfront infinity pools. But if you really want to indulge yourself, buy a day pass to Hideaway BeachSM, the ultimate adults-only paradise, complete with the Hideaway BarSM, tasty pizzas from Slice of ParadiseSM and exclusive pools at The Hideout cabanas.
Relax at the adults-only Coco Beach Club.
Any short Caribbean cruise that visits Nassau in the Bahamas gives you the chance to experience Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. Here, you can create a lifetime of memories in a single day, with three incredible neighborhoods to explore — Party CoveSM, Family BeachSM and Chill BeachSM — each with an action-packed pool and its own swim-up bar. The best part? Your day pass includes all-day dining, unlimited beverages, free high-speed Wi-Fi, transportation and beach-day amenities.
Combine all these elements with incredible destinations, and you get the vacation of a lifetime in only three, four or five nights away from home. Our travel agents know Royal Caribbean well and can help you choose the best itineraries for you and your crew, so reach out to us today.
