EXPLORA III · Caribbean & Central America

7 nights, Miami to San Juan

January 21, 2027 – January 29, 2027 · 7 nights · 7 stops

Explora's name for it: A Journey of Sunny Shores & Caribbean Island Bliss

Seven nights, seven stops, Miami to San Juan, no day repeated. This is a port-dense run with almost no sea time, so the pace is brisk: you wake somewhere new most mornings. The character shifts as you go. Saint-Pierre, Martinique, tenders you ashore into the stone shells of a town a volcano destroyed in 1902, with a museum, a theater skeleton, and Mont Pelee standing right over it, all a flat walk from the jetty. Anguilla's Road Bay is the opposite mood, a tender straight onto Sandy Ground Beach among bar shacks, with the longer sand at Shoal Bay East a taxi away. Basseterre, St Kitts, is a five-minute walk to a colonial center built around a circle modeled on Piccadilly, with a hilltop fortress or a sugar-train railway as the day's one big call. San Juan ends it inside the walled old town itself, forts and pastel plazas a few steps from the gangway.

This itinerary rewards travelers who want a different island every day and don't mind a quick, walk-it-yourself rhythm. If you'd rather slow down, anchor in one place, or trade variety for sea days and long lounging, pick a different route. The one-way shape also means a flight home from San Juan rather than back to Miami, worth planning around.

The ship is all-suite, all-oceanfront.
