Itinerary

A Journey of Tropical Festivities & Dazzling Island Beauty

To find out more about the itinerary for this cruise, select the itinerary items below.

Day	Date	Port of Call	Arrival	Departure
1	Sunday, December 20, 2026	Miami, USA	Embark	5:00 PM
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
2	Monday, December 21, 2026	At Sea
3	Tuesday, December 22, 2026	Ocho Rios, Jamaica	9:00 AM	6:00 PM
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
4	Wednesday, December 23, 2026	At Sea
5	Thursday, December 24, 2026	Santa Catalina, USA	9:00 AM	6:00 PM
Mediterranean-flavoured Catalina Island is a world removed from the bustle of LA, and has been a popular getaway since chewing-gum magnate William Wrigley Jr purchased the place in 1919. It is part of the Channel Islands, a chain of semi-submerged mountains off the coast of Southern California with a unique ecosystem. Most of the island’s interior of sun-baked hillsides, valleys and canyons is owned by the Santa Catalina Island Conservancy, which ensures that it will never become overly developed.

6	Friday, December 25, 2026	Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Islands (British)	12:00 PM	6:00 PM
Read more about Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Islands (British)
7	Saturday, December 26, 2026	St. Maarten/Philipsburg
8	Sunday, December 27, 2026	Charlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands (U.S.)	8:00 AM	9:00 PM
Charlotte Amalie is the capital and largest city of the US Virgin Islands, located on the island of Saint Thomas. It is famous as a deep-water harbor that was once a haven for pirates. Indeed, Blackbeard's Castle, named after the notorious pirate of the same name, is one of five National Historic Landmarks in the U.S. Read more about Charlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands (U.S.)
9	Monday, December 28, 2026	San Juan, Puerto Rico	8:00 AM	Disembark
San Juan, the capital and most populous city of Puerto Rico, is the oldest city on US territory. It is the Caribbean commercial hub, best known for its beautifully restored historic district of Old San Juan. It is situated on a rocky peninsula girded by thick walls jutting into the crashing Atlantic surf. Read more about San Juan, Puerto Rico
