Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   St. John's, Antigua

   Depart 21:00

   Antigua and Barbuda

   

   St. John's, Antigua's storied capital, anchors a natural harbor that has drawn seafarers since the seventeenth century, its Georgian cathedral and pastel-painted market hall bearing quiet witness to a complex colonial past. The crown jewel lies an hour's drive away at Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour — the world's only still-functioning Georgian naval dockyard, set against the turquoise waters of one of the Caribbean's finest anchorages. Antigua's warm, dry climate makes it a year-round destination, though the exhilarating Sailing Week regatta in late April draws the most glamorous international crowd.

2. Day 2

   Road Bay

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Anguilla

   

   Road Bay is the anchorage for Anguilla, whose sixteen miles harbor some of the world's finest beaches — including Shoal Bay East's two-mile masterpiece — and a dining scene that defies the island's modest population of fifteen thousand. Visit December through April via Ponant or Windstar for the Caribbean's most convincing synthesis of perfect sand, exceptional cuisine, and the genuine exclusivity that comes from having no deep-water cruise port.

3. Day 3

   San Juan, Puerto Rico

   Arrive 08:00Depart 19:00

   Puerto Rico

   

   San Juan, Puerto Rico's radiant colonial capital, is one of the Americas' most compellingly layered cities — a place where the sixteenth-century fortresses of El Morro and San Cristóbal stand sentinel over streets of painted townhouses and flowering balconies. The cobblestoned lanes of Old San Juan pulse with world-class rum bars, ceviche stands, and rooftop restaurants serving the island's vibrant cocina criolla. La Fortaleza, the oldest executive mansion in the Western Hemisphere still in use, anchors the historic district. Florecer, the district's famed bioluminescent bay, glows emerald after dark. January through April offers the most idyllic conditions.

4. Day 4

6. Day 6

   Miami, Florida

   Arrive 08:00

   United States

   

   Miami is a city of perpetual reinvention — the Art Deco jewel of South Beach giving way to the street-art murals of Wynwood, the Cuban rhythms of Calle Ocho, and the glass-and-steel towers of a skyline that has redrawn itself every decade since Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad south in 1896. Must-dos include strolling the pastel-fronted Ocean Drive at dusk and exploring the world-class collections at the Pérez Art Museum Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay. November through April delivers idyllic weather — warm and dry — while summer brings heat, humidity, and hurricane risk. Miami handles cruise departures elegantly, with the Port of Miami a short taxi ride from the best neighbourhoods.
