The Journey
Miami to San Juan
A relaxed, island-rich week with the ship in port late, a full day and evening on St. Maarten and St. Barths until 11 PM. Drinks, gratuities and Wi-Fi are part of the fare, so the days ashore and the evenings aboard flow without a bill in sight.
Board Explora III in the afternoon and sail into the open Atlantic as the Miami skyline slips away behind you.
Slow days on the water before the islands begin, the retractable-roof Conservatory pool, the Ocean Wellness spa, the open-air Shore Club, and the first of the ship's tables.
Great Bay's powder sand and the easy Dutch-Caribbean buzz of Philipsburg, a full day and evening ashore on the island's French and Dutch halves.
The day everyone waits for, Gustavia's yacht-lined harbour, designer lanes and beach clubs, with the ship in port until 11 PM for a long St. Barths evening.
Green volcanic peaks above a Georgian harbour town, beaches, rainforest, and the island's scenic railway through old sugar country.
Two-thirds national park, Trunk Bay, snorkelling coves, and the quiet, green side of the US Virgin Islands.
Arrive into San Juan beneath the ramparts of El Morro and the colour of Old San Juan, a worthy final act for an island-rich week.
