    Day Date Port of Call Arrival Departure
    1 Sunday, January 25, 2026 Miami, USA Embark 17:00
    View of Miami, USA

    Miami, located on the Atlantic coast at the southern tip of Florida, where outdoor sports are open all seasons and dress is casual, is a melting pot of cultures. Miami and Miami Beach are in effect two distinctly different cities, as Miami Beach is almost exclusively tourist orientated, while Miami is a cosmopolitan city with a distinctly Latin American flavour. Don’t miss the South Beach section where fashion designer Gianni Versace lived and died that is one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in the world. Read more about Miami, USA

    View of Ocho Rios, Jamaica

    Ocho Rios lies on the north coast of Jamaica. As many believe that Christopher Columbus first set foot here, Columbus Park has been created, where visitors and residents alike can absorb the historical artefacts and the Spanish colonial buildings. Renowned for its most striking waterfalls Ocho Rios owes much of its fame to Dunn's River Falls, a much-photographed and much-climbed attraction. Read more about Ocho Rios, Jamaica

    Cayman Brac is part of the British Overseas Territory of Cayman Islands in the Western Caribbean Sea. It is located south of Cuba, and between Jamaica and the Yucatán Peninsula. There are three islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Read more about Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

    Cozumel is a Caribbean island just off the Yucatan Peninsula in SE Mexico. It has grown steadily over the years since Jacques Cousteau first put the island on the map as a sea turtle sanctuary. While it has great beaches, friendly people and safe streets, with prices comparable to other Mexican tourist destinations, most visitors travel to Cozumel to see what is under the water.
