Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Miami
Depart 17:00
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.

Day 3
Day 3
Ocho Rios
Arrive 09:00Depart 18:00
Ocho Rios is Jamaica's waterfall-blessed north coast resort town, home to the iconic Dunn's River Falls and Ian Fleming's GoldenEye estate where every Bond novel was written. Must-dos include climbing Dunn's River Falls, tasting jerk at Scotchies, and sampling Blue Mountain coffee. December through April offers the driest, most comfortable conditions.

Day 5
Day 5
Isla Catalana
Arrive 09:00Depart 18:00
Isla Catalina in Mexico's Sea of Cortez is an uninhabited volcanic island surrounded by Jacques Cousteau's "world's aquarium" — home to mobula ray aggregations, playful sea lion colonies, whale sharks, and the endemic rattleless rattlesnake. Must-dos include snorkelling with sea lions, kayaking beneath giant cardón cacti, and savouring Baja-style fish tacos from the day's catch. October through May offers ideal temperatures and peak water clarity.
Day 6
Day 6
Jost Van Dyke
Arrive 12:00Depart 18:00
Jost Van Dyke is a tiny, uncommercialised island in the British Virgin Islands named after a Dutch privateer, celebrated for its pristine white-sand beaches, legendary beach bars, and barefoot Caribbean culture. Visitors should not miss savouring a Painkiller cocktail at the Soggy Dollar Bar on White Bay and exploring the granite grottos of The Baths on nearby Virgin Gorda. The dry season from December through April offers the most radiant sailing conditions and calm turquoise waters, making it the ideal window for a luxury small-ship call at this intimate Caribbean gem.
Day 7
Day 7
Philipsburg
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, packs extraordinary energy onto a narrow sand spit between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond — two parallel streets of duty-free boutiques, creole restaurants, and rum bars backed by a beach where cruise ships anchor so close that their hulls seem to dominate the shoreline. The island's most celebrated spectacle is entirely involuntary: Princess Juliana International Airport, where landing aircraft pass at rooftop height over Maho Beach, drawing crowds of thrill-seekers every day. The 1648 Mount Concordia Treaty, dividing this sliver of land between France and the Netherlands, created the world's smallest territory shared by two nations. The dry season from December to April is optimal.
Day 8
Day 8
Charlotte Amalie
Arrive 08:00Depart 21:00
Charlotte Amalie, the Danish-founded capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, is a Caribbean port of rare historical depth where colonial architecture, world-class duty-free shopping, and volcanic hillside panoramas converge around one of the Atlantic's most striking natural harbors. No visit is complete without climbing the historic 99 Steps for sweeping harbor views and taking a ferry to St. John's pristine Virgin Islands National Park. The dry season from December through April offers the most luminous skies and calmest seas, coinciding perfectly with peak cruise season.
Day 9
Day 9
San Juan
Arrive 08:00
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.
