PORTS OF CALL
Miami, Florida
Miami is far more than the world’s busiest cruise port; it’s a destination that deserves its own chapter in your vacation story. We strongly encourage our clients to view Miami not as a logistical hurdle before their cruise, but as the vibrant, culturally rich opening act. Arriving a day or two early does more than just eliminate the stress of same-day travel—it allows you to immerse yourself in the energy of one of America's most dynamic cities, ensuring you step onto your ship already relaxed and in a vacation state of mind.
**Your Pre-Cruise Miami Itinerary**
Upon arriving at Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), a rideshare or taxi can have you settled into your hotel in South Beach, Brickell, or Downtown in under 30 minutes. We recommend choosing your neighborhood based on your preferred style: South Beach for the iconic Art Deco glamour and beach access, or Brickell for a sleek, modern urban experience with a fantastic dining scene.
**Day 1: Arrival, Architecture, and Atmosphere**
After checking in, spend your first afternoon acquainting yourself with the iconic scenery of South Beach. This isn't just a party destination; it's a protected architectural district. Take a leisurely stroll along Ocean Drive to admire the pastel-hued Art Deco masterpieces. For a more tranquil experience, head to South Pointe Park at the southern tip of the island. Here, you can watch ships glide through Government Cut against the backdrop of the downtown skyline—a perfect, low-key introduction to the city's maritime soul.
For dinner, bypass the tourist-heavy spots on Ocean Drive and explore the sophisticated restaurants in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood or the diverse, international options in Brickell. This is your chance to enjoy a world-class meal without a schedule, from fresh, locally-sourced seafood to innovative Latin American cuisine.
**Day 2: A Tale of Two Cultures**
Start your day the way Miamians do: with a shot of authentic Cuban culture. Head to Little Havana and walk the famous Calle Ocho. Find a *ventanita* (a small walk-up coffee window) and order a potent, sweet *cafecito* and a flaky *pastelito* (guava pastry is the classic). The experience is about more than just the coffee; it's about the sounds of Spanish, the rhythm of salsa music, and the sight of locals debating over a game of dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park. It’s an accessible, genuine cultural immersion.
In the afternoon, witness the city’s stunning contrasts. First, visit the Wynwood Walls, an extraordinary outdoor museum of large-scale murals by some of the world's best street artists. The surrounding neighborhood is a canvas in itself, with vibrant art on nearly every building. It’s a visual feast that’s both contemporary and completely approachable.
From there, travel back in time at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This Gilded Age estate, with its Italian Renaissance-inspired villa and sprawling formal gardens on the edge of Biscayne Bay, offers a glimpse into Miami's opulent past. The juxtaposition of Wynwood's modern grit and Vizcaya's timeless elegance perfectly encapsulates the city's multifaceted character.
**Embarkation Day**
Wake up refreshed and without pressure. Enjoy a final Miami breakfast before taking a short 15-20 minute ride to the Port of Miami. You’ll arrive calm and collected, having already banked two days of enriching travel experiences. By treating the start of your journey with this much intention, you don't just see a port city—you connect with it, making your entire vacation more memorable from the very first moment.
At Sea - Cruising
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
St. Maarten offers one of the most distinct experiences in the Caribbean: the chance to visit two countries in a single day. Your ship docks in Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side (Sint Maarten), a bustling hub of activity. The town itself is built along a beautiful arc of sand, Great Bay Beach, with a lively boardwalk perfect for a stroll. This is the commercial heart of the island, known for its extensive duty-free shopping, particularly for jewelry, electronics, and local spirits like the iconic Guavaberry Liqueur.
For a complete change of pace, a short taxi ride transports you to the French side (Saint-Martin). Here, the atmosphere shifts to something more akin to the French Riviera. The capital, Marigot, offers a more relaxed vibe with chic boutiques, open-air markets, and charming bistros serving fresh croissants and coffee. For the food-focused traveler, a visit to Grand Case is essential; it’s widely regarded as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, with an impressive collection of world-class restaurants.
Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. While there are dozens to choose from, Maho Beach is a spectacle you won’t forget. It’s not a place for quiet relaxation, but for the unique thrill of watching massive jets land just feet above your head. For a more classic Caribbean beach day, Orient Bay on the French side offers a wide expanse of white sand and turquoise water. St. Maarten’s appeal lies in this choice—you can curate your day to be as high-energy or as relaxed as you wish.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan is one of the most rewarding and historically significant ports in the Caribbean, and its greatest asset is proximity. Your ship docks at the edge of Old San Juan, a 500-year-old walled city that is a destination in its own right. Forget the organized bus tours; this is a port best explored on foot.
Step off the ship and you are immediately immersed in the atmosphere of blue cobblestone streets and pastel-hued colonial architecture. Your primary objective should be exploring the two massive Spanish citadels that bookend the old city. Start with Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fort in the Americas, then enjoy the scenic one-mile walk along the city wall to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro, which has guarded the harbor entrance for centuries. The scale and preservation of these UNESCO World Heritage sites are genuinely impressive.
Beyond the forts, the joy of San Juan is in the wandering. Discover shaded plazas, artisan shops on Calle del Cristo, and the famous Fortaleza Street. For a taste of authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, find a local spot for *mofongo* (a savory dish of mashed plantains) or enjoy a classic piña colada at Barrachina, one of the bars that claims to have invented it. While the famous beaches of Condado and Isla Verde are an option, they require a taxi and can consume valuable time. For a port day, the tangible history, vibrant culture, and culinary delights within the city walls offer a more than fulfilling experience.
Coco Cay, Bahamas
Let's be clear: Coco Cay is not a port for cultural immersion; it's a private island meticulously engineered for a perfect day of sun and fun. Think of it as a high-end water park and beach club rolled into one, accessible right off the ship. The island is divided into distinct zones, from the high-energy Thrill Waterpark with its impressive slides to the sprawling Oasis Lagoon, one of the largest freshwater pools in the Caribbean.
For those seeking relaxation, several white-sand beaches offer a classic tropical escape. If you're looking for a more exclusive, serene experience, the Coco Beach Club provides a quieter atmosphere with an infinity pool and overwater cabanas, available for an additional fee. While you won't find local markets or historical sites here, Coco Cay delivers exactly what it promises: a seamless, high-quality day of resort-style leisure and aquatic adventure.
