Itinerary

Departs: 16:00

Known as the 'cruise capital of the world', Port Miami is is considered to be the world’s busiest cruise ship port. Whether arriving or departing, aboard your cruise liner you can take in the superb view of the Miami skyline.

This multicultural city where the sun rules supreme is more than just a cruise port. Palm-lined causeways stretch across luminous Biscayne Bay as Miami rises in a gleam of glass towers, Art Deco curves, and tropical colour. Along Ocean Drive in South Beach, pastel facades from the 1930s glow beneath the Florida sun, while nearby Little Havana hums with domino parks, cigar shops, and the aroma of Cuban coffee. Beyond the shoreline, calm waters, yacht marinas, and breezy promenades frame a city shaped by Caribbean rhythms and sunlit coastal glamour.

While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination. Make the most of your day at sea by enjoying our Wi-Fi, drink and Speciality Dining Packages. These services are available at an additional cost.

St. Thomas, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, offers a blend of pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history. Begin your day exploring Charlotte Amalie, the island's capital, where you can wander through the historic district filled with 17th-century Danish architecture. Don’t miss Blackbeard’s Castle, a watchtower that offers panoramic views of the harbor.

For a more relaxed experience, head to Magens Bay, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and soft white sand, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Adventure seekers can snorkel at Coki Beach, known for its colorful marine life. St. Thomas also boasts a range of duty-free shopping options, with boutique stores offering everything from local crafts to luxury goods.

Port:Charlotte Amalie

Cruise ships dock at the West Indian Company Dock or the Crown Bay Dock which are both approximately 2-3 miles (3-5 kilometers) from downtown Charlotte Amalie. Start your day at the waterfront, admiring the Danish colonial architecture and visiting the vibrant Vendor’s Plaza. Climb the iconic 99 Steps to Blackbeard’s Castle for stunning panoramic views of the harbor and town. The port area offers duty-free shopping, with Havensight Mall near the West Indian Company Dock being a popular spot. Reliable transportation options include taxis and open-air safari buses, which are readily available at the port.

Samaná, located on the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, is known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant marine life. The town serves as a gateway to some of the region's top attractions, including the famous El Limón Waterfall, which cascades down 130 feet into a natural pool.

Boat excursions in Samaná Bay offer the chance to see humpback whales during the breeding season from January to March. The nearby Cayo Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island, features pristine beaches perfect for a day of relaxation and swimming.

While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination. Make the most of your day at sea by enjoying our Wi-Fi, drink and Speciality Dining Packages. These services are available at an additional cost.

Nassau’s newest, boldest, and most epic excursion - the Royal Beach Club - has it all. Create a lifetime of memories in a single day, with three incredible neighborhoods to explore - Party Cove, FamilyBeach , and Chill Beach - each with an action-packed pool and its own swim-up bar. And with two pristine beaches, endless island eats, nonstop DJ beats and unlimited drinks - plus Wi-Fi, umbrellas, loungers and more - you have everything you need for the ultimate beach day. A day pass is required to get access to this exclusive, all-inclusive paradise.
