Day 1 2026-11-15 Miami, Florida Departs at 4:00 pm
Cruises from Miami dock near Bayfront Park, a place to stroll the bay and get a bite. The Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science just debuted with a spectacular planetarium, and the new Pérez Art Museum Miami truly embraces its bay-side perch. A bit north, hipsters have turned graffiti into serious street art in the world's most unique arts district, Wynwood, while the Miami Design District attracts fans of interiors and fashion.
In Little Havana, urban pioneers rehab old buildings and open new restaurants, bars, and shops. In Mediterranean-style Coral Gables, you can swim in Venetian Pool, a coral quarry transformed into a giant swimming hole with waterfalls, caves, and grottoes. Woodsy Coconut Grove is a cool neighborhood surrounding a marina where Miami City Hall originally served as the seaplane base. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens displays priceless furnishings and art in a grand estate.
Dining in Greater Miami is fresh on many levels. The seafood served tonight was still swimming this morning. Before cruises from Miami, visitors enjoy Florida lobster, grouper, mahi-mahi, pompano, snapper, and stone crabs. The go-to lunch is a Cuban sandwich, and the coffee is Cuban, too. Enjoy anything orange—slices, juices, sauces, marmalades, and dressings. More fruits include mango, papaya, jackfruit, avocado, and passion. The must-have dessert is sweet, tart, creamy, key lime pie, made from yellow key limes, not green Persian limes. Take advantage of Miami cruises to indulge.
Day 2 2026-11-16 Nassau, Bahamas Docked from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm
A short ferry ride takes you to Paradise Island, home to the legendary Atlantis Resort. Here, you can explore the mythical streets at Ruins Lagoon, walk through underwater shark tunnels at Predator Lagoon, or make a personal connection with gentle dolphins at Dolphin Cay, an accredited marine habitat featuring an 11-acre lagoon, sandy beaches, and interactive experiences.
Starting December 2025, elevate your Nassau visit at the new Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise Island by Royal Caribbean. Spend the day at this exclusive, all-inclusive retreat with private cabanas, swim-up bars, and mouthwatering cuisine. Beach day is redefined with some of the best food, cocktails, beaches, and pools in The Bahamas.
For a relaxing island escape, hop to Blue Lagoon Island for sunbathing and dolphin encounters. Or browse Nassau’s duty-free shops and Straw Market on Bay Street, where artisans craft traditional straw hats and artwork using centuries-old techniques. Savor Nassau’s fresh seafood, including fried snapper and grouper, conch dishes, and more. Round out your experience with rum-based beverages to enjoy an authentic Bahamian adventure.

Day 4 2026-11-18 George Town, Grand Cayman Tendered from 10:30 am - 5:00 pm
Launch your snorkeling adventure from a luxurious catamaran. Swim right through the World War II naval vessel USS Kittiwake, now a shallow artificial reef. Finish with leisurely sunbathing and cool cocktails. Swim with the denizens of Stingray City in the crystalline waters of Coral Reef Gardens. After snorkeling with the graceful rays, recharge with an island barbecue on Seven Mile Beach. You'll shop till you drop in the duty-free boutiques of George Town. Find gifts for everyone—including yourself—like china, crystal, jewelry, antiques, and resort wear by renowned designers.
Conch shells were the homes of tasty mollusks. Try Cayman conch in salads, chowders, and fritters. Cruises to Grand Cayman Islands are not complete without a sample of the rich Caribbean curries, and don't miss the fresh produce: coconut, cassava, and plantains. For dessert, have some rum cake.
Day 5 2026-11-19 Cozumel, Mexico Docked from 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
Go cruise shopping for beautiful Mexican silver, amber, and other artisanal gifts in San Miguel. Or, hop a ferry to charming Playa del Carmen, on the mainland, and stroll along la Quinta Avenida for more inviting restaurants, bars, and shops. Down the coast from Playa, you can explore the ancient Maya city of Tulum, perched impressively on a cliff, overlooking the brilliant sea and powdery beach below. Cozumel cuisine means fresh seafood. Savor the catch of the day served on a banana leaf, or enjoy it marinated in lime juice, cilantro, onion, and tomato. Of course, this is the place for Mexican classics like tacos, guacamole—and margaritas.
