The itinerary, port by port
8 calls over 6 nights, Miami to San Juan. Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Miami (MIA) open around January 2027, about 11 months before you sail. I track that window for booked clients and flag it the moment it is worth booking. When to book your flights →
Puerto Plata is the Dominican Republic's north-coast amber capital, a town of faded Victorian gingerbread houses sitting under the green wall of Mount Isabel de Torres. Port guide →
Catalina is a low-key island an hour off the Southern California coast, where the small port town of Avalon ends at clear, kelp-forested water that draws snorkelers and glass-bottom boats. Port guide →
Frederiksted is the quieter, west-end town of St Croix and the island's only deep-water cruise call, a low-rise grid of Danish colonial and Victorian buildings facing the Caribbean. Port guide →
Jost Van Dyke is a four-mile sliver of the British Virgin Islands with roughly 300 residents, no traffic lights, and a beach-bar culture that built the BVI's reputation. Port guide →
San Juan's old quarter is a walled Spanish colonial town on a headland, founded in the early 1500s, with two stone forts run by the U.S. Port guide →
