Overview

This 11-night voyage from Miami stops in Aruba, Colombia, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands. Perhaps the most exciting part of the trip is your visit to South America. Cartagena is known for its colorful colonial architecture, walled 16th century Old Town, narrow stone walkways, and white sand beaches – as well as its archipelago of small islands that can be explored by boat.

Itinerary

Departs: 5:00PM

Miami: the city where we roll out the red carpet. Bustling and colorful, edgy and artsy, our home port is a destination in and of itself.

With a sleek, modern design that blends into the surrounding cityscape, Terminal V is a sparkling facility that makes boarding a breeze. Perched on the Port of Miami’s northwest side, its impressive 100,000-square-foot space is large enough to accommodate efficient boarding for all our Sailors, with separate areas for luggage drop-off, and quick boarding to experience smooth sailings for cruises from Miami.

Terminal V is located at 718 N. Cruise Blvd, Miami, FL 33132. In the Sailor app, select an arrival time slot so we know when to welcome you with open arms. (To avoid wait times, we advise you not to arrive before your scheduled time.)

On our voyages, the biggest choice you’ll have to make is: which activity do I choose tonight? From our adult-oriented performances in the Red Room to live music every single night, bookable karaoke rooms, and special activations popping up all around the ship like pub crawls and pajama parties, there’s no shortage of things to do on a cruise with Virgin Voyages.

Arrives: 10:00AM Departs: 10:00PM

Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast, the island's arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast.

Top Things to Do in Aruba:

  • explore the islands capital, Oranjestad
  • climb the steps to the summit of Hooiberg
  • swim and relax at Eagle Beach

Incredibly white sands and cobalt blue seas make the small island of Aruba a popular destination. In the bustling freeport town of Oranjestad, sherbet-coloured Dutch colonial buildings, draped in bougainvillea, oleander and hibiscus are simply picturesque. Ships will dock at the cruise terminal. 

Top Things to Do in Oranjestad:

  • 4WD through the Aruba Arikok National Park
  • visit the National Archeological Museum

From sunrise yoga and outdoor boxing to a cycling studio and bungee workouts - you’ll have full access to classes and state-of-the-art gym equipment for unlimited opportunities to break a sweat. And if you’re not the working out kind, well, the views are nice from the gym?

Arrives: 8:00AM Departs: 5:00PM

Cartagena is a feast for the senses, with its consistently warm air, bright colours, history and nightlife. Filled with legends, romance and splendour, the walled city features Spanish colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and cultural sites. Ships will dock at this port.

  • visit the Rosario Islands

With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment you’ll experience on board is something you’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.

Arrives: 9:00AM Departs: 5:00PM

The golden beaches, swaying palm trees and fragrant air are just a prelude to what surrounds this beautiful city. Ochos Rios, meaning eight rivers in Spanish, was named for its spectacular rivers and waterfalls. Ships will dock at the cruise terminal.

Georgetown, the capital of the Cayman Islands, serves as a vibrant hub of activity and culture. Located on Grand Cayman, it is known for its excellent duty-free shopping, ranging from luxury boutiques to local crafts. The city also boasts a rich maritime history, which can be explored in depth at the Cayman Islands National Museum.

Visitors arriving by cruise are welcomed by the picturesque harbour and its crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkelling and diving. Just offshore, the famous Stingray City offers a unique opportunity to swim alongside and feed the friendly southern stingrays in their natural habitat.

Relax and rejuvenate. Take a deep breath, and give yourself the gift of a little pampering. Relaxing onboard is already easy – but we’re making it even easier. Whether you’re in desperate need of a break from the kids, looking for intimate couples time, or just need some solo r&r, wellness is a cornerstone of our philosophy, and our cruise experience. Get a couples massage in our Redemption Spa, take a free sunrise yoga class, or jog around our outdoor track with stunning panoramic ocean views.

Arrives: 6:30AM

From the art scene in Wynwood to the shores of Miami Beach, Florida's Magic City is a perfect collision of relaxation and tradition.

This multicultural city where the sun rules supreme is more than just a cruise port. 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.
