The itinerary, port by port

6 calls over 6 nights, San Juan to Miami. 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 San Juan (SJU) open around February 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 →

  1. Embark
    San Juan

    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 →

  2. 2
    Road Town (Tortola)

    Road Town is the capital of the British Virgin Islands, and your ship lands you at its doorstep on the south coast of Tortola. Port guide →

  3. 3
    Pointe-à-Pitre

    Pointe-à-Pitre is the commercial capital of Guadeloupe, a French overseas region, and the city wears that dual identity openly: Creole markets and a French colonial grid, euros and Caribbean spice. Port guide →

  4. 4
    Gustavia

    Gustavia is the harbor capital of St Barths, a small French island that has deliberately kept large cruise ships out, so only luxury lines anchor offshore and tender in. Port guide →

  5. 5
    Ocean Cay

    Ocean Cay is MSC's private Bahamian island, a former industrial sand-dredging site rebuilt as a marine reserve about 65 miles from Miami and 20 miles south of Bimini. Port guide →

    Miami

    Miami is the busiest cruise port in the United States, set on Dodge Island in Biscayne Bay a mile or two off downtown. Port guide →
