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.)

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: 8:00AM Departs: 5:00PM

The capital city of one of the most popular tropical vacation destinations around, Grand Turk, on the island of Turks and Caicos encapsulates everything there is to love about a true holiday. Enjoy seemingly endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, sprawling white sand beaches, five-star seaside resorts, restaurants and bars, top-of-the-line shopping, and a cruise culture so massive a designated Cruise Center with a lagoon-like pool and duty-free shopping.

Plus, attracting both beach fanatics and history buffs alike Grand Turk offers something for everyone’s journey. Explore the historic Cockburn Town’s Bermuda-style architecture and the iconic Grand Turk Lighthouse. Explore the Grand Turk Wall, the world’s 3rd deepest trench, located approximately 1 km off Grand Turk’s shore. Kayak through the stoic mangroves mystically growing up from the Ocean and horseback ride the picturesque beach – whether you’re looking to relax or to explore, Grand Turk is the perfect place to relax, and more importantly, treat yourself.

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

Tucked between the Cordillera Mountains and Atlantic coast, Puerto Plata embodies geographical duality at its best. A day here can include vegging out on the snow white beaches of Playa Dorada, or hiking through the jungle to the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua and careening down via natural slides. Or you can jump right in. We won't tell you how to live.

Arrives: 12:00PM Departs: 8:00PM

San Juan's picturesque cobblestone streets, plazas and chapels reflect its Spanish heritage. But the second oldest city in the Americas also boasts fine beaches, lush rainforests, verdant mountainsides, imposing forts and a lovely tropical climate. Ships will dock at this port.

Top Things to Do in San Juan:

  • explore the El Yunque Rainforest
  • visit the Bacardi Rum Distillery
  • visit Fort Cristobal and the Old Town
  • play a round of golf at the Palmes del Mar Golf Resort
  • sail in San Juan Bay

Arrives: 10:00AM Departs: 6:00PM

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.

For the 'do-nothings,' the 'do-somethings' and the 'do-literally-everythings' (you know who you are), we have tons of group fitness classes on board so that you can sea the world and keep your #FitnessGoals going.

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: 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.
