Explora's name for it: A Journey of Reggae Beats & Hypnotic Caribbean Wonders
The itinerary, port by port
6 calls over 9 nights, round-trip from Miami. Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Miami (MIA) open around January 2027, about 11 months before you sail. I track that window for booked clients and flag it the moment it is worth booking. When to book your flights →
Ocho Rios is Jamaica's north-coast adventure hub, built around one famous waterfall you climb in a human chain and a cluster of rivers, gardens, and beaches within a few minutes' drive. Port guide →

Kralendijk
Kralendijk is the small Dutch-Caribbean capital of Bonaire, and the whole island is built around its marine park, so this is a water day above almost anything else.
Willemstad is the capital of Curacao, a UNESCO-listed Dutch colonial harbor town where pastel waterfront houses line the Handelskade and a pontoon bridge swings open across the channel for passing ships. Port guide →
Oranjestad is Aruba's capital, a compact Dutch-Caribbean town of pastel gabled buildings, a free streetcar, and duty-free shopping that sits directly behind the cruise piers. Port guide →
Ocean Cay is MSC's private Bahamian island, a former industrial sand-dredging site rebuilt as a marine reserve about 65 miles from Miami and 20 miles south of Bimini. Port guide →
