EXPLORA III · Caribbean & Central America

6 nights, Miami to Bridgetown

March 14, 2027 – March 21, 2027 · 6 nights · 6 stops

Explora's name for it: A Journey of Soft Sands, Azure Waters & Sun-drenched Shores

Six nights, six ports, and no sea days. This is a one-way run down the eastern Caribbean from Miami to Bridgetown, and the pace is brisk: a stop every single day, each island a different flavor. Provo is the beach day, anchored off Grace Bay's twelve-mile run of sand with snorkel reefs as the morning's draw. St. John's hands you a walkable Georgian harbor and beaches a short drive out, where I'd take Fort James over busier Dickenson Bay. Roseau lands you in the middle of Dominica's colonial grid, museum and botanic gardens on foot, rainforest a taxi ride up. Bequia is the slow one: a flat coastal walkway from Port Elizabeth straight to the swimming beaches. Bridgetown closes it with a UNESCO Georgian port town and the reliable turtles of Carlisle Bay.

This itinerary rewards travelers who want range over depth: six islands, six personalities, none requiring a long day to reach. Skip it if you want a single anchorage to settle into, since the daily ports keep you moving. Note that two stops, Provo and Bequia, are tender ports with no backup pier, so a windy morning can thin or delay the boats. Book the snorkel or beach time you most want early in the day.

Explora III is all-suite and all-oceanfront.
