EXPLORA III · Caribbean & Central America

6 nights, San Juan to Miami

December 13, 2026 – December 20, 2026 · 6 nights · 6 stops

Explora's name for it: A Journey through Caribbean Gems & Multi-coloured Coasts

Six nights, San Juan to Miami, with a call almost every day. This is a port-dense run through the northeast Caribbean, light on sea days and built around islands that hand you the day the moment you walk off. San Juan ties up at the Old San Juan piers themselves, so the cobbled grid of pastel houses and the climb to El Morro start a few steps from the gangway. Road Bay is a beach call: you tender straight onto Sandy Ground Beach in the village, then taxi to Shoal Bay East for the sand Anguilla is actually known for. St. Kitts docks at Port Zante in the heart of Basseterre, where the day turns on one excursion, the Scenic Railway or the hilltop fortress, each of which eats most of it. Grand Turk drops you steps from a leeward beach and one of the rare ports with renowned wall snorkeling right offshore.

This itinerary rewards travelers who want islands over open ocean and are happy to be ashore most days. If you want long, slow sea days to settle into the ship, this is the wrong route. The pace is steady, the ports compact, and each one wants a single decision: a beach, a fort, or a town walk. Antigua and St. Kitts in particular ask you to commit before you dock.

Explora III is all-suite, all-oceanfront.
