Florida Cruise from Miami to Bridgetown — 12 Days

Miami, USA

Miami rewards travelers who look beyond its cruise terminals. South Beach pairs pastel Art Deco hotels with Ocean Drive; Little Havana serves Cuban coffee and music along Calle Ocho. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and nearby Design District reveal the city’s creative ambition. For a change of pace, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades place vivid natural landscapes within reach.

St John Island USVI

Cruz Bay is St. John’s harbor town, where ferries, cafés and island roads meet. From here, much of the island opens quickly: Virgin Islands National Park protects roughly two-thirds of St. John. Follow North Shore Road to white-sand beaches and clear water, or visit the sugar plantation ruins at Annaberg. Back in town, browse the shops at Mongoose Junction, then choose a waterfront table for dinner.

St Thomas Island USVI

Charlotte Amalie brings St Thomas’s history into view, from Danish colonial streets to the harbor’s busy waterfront. Explore the compact old town, where Fort Christian and pastel facades line narrow streets. Ride up to Mountain Top for broad views of Magens Bay and neighboring islands. St Thomas also offers easy access to beaches, duty-free shopping, and boat trips across the US Virgin Islands. Allow time for steep streets and port-area traffic.

Philipsburg St Maarten, Netherlands

Philipsburg rewards a shore day spent beyond the cruise terminal. It sits on a narrow strip between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. The Dutch-side capital is compact and easy to explore on foot. Front Street pairs duty-free shops with the 1793 courthouse, while the Boardwalk follows Great Bay Beach. Cross the open border into French Saint-Martin for French bakeries, lively markets and another stretch of coast.

Charlestown Nevis

Charlestown is the quiet capital of Nevis, set between the Caribbean Sea and the slopes of Nevis Peak. Georgian-era buildings and a lively market give its compact streets their character. The Museum of Nevis History occupies the house where Alexander Hamilton was born. Beyond town, black-sand coves, the historic Bath Hotel and green mountain trails reward a day spent exploring.

St Johns Antigua

Antigua rewards a day ashore with more than its celebrated beaches. St John’s, the compact capital, makes an easy starting point. Drive east to Nelson’s Dockyard, a remarkably preserved Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage site. English Harbour’s sheltered waters and restored stone buildings reveal the island’s maritime past. Or trade history for a swim at one of the island’s many coves, from resort beaches to quieter shores.

Saint-Pierre Martinique (Ask Travel Agent)

Bequia Island

Port Elizabeth sits on Bequia’s Admiralty Bay, where fishing boats and yachts share a sheltered anchorage. Step ashore into a compact waterfront of cafés and shops, then follow the Belmont Walkway towards Princess Margaret Beach. Bequia’s boatbuilding tradition remains visible in its working yards and local craft. Come for unhurried island life, swimming in clear water and views across the Grenadines.

St Georges Grenada, Grenada

St George’s is one of the Caribbean’s most handsome harbour towns, its pastel waterfront curving around a horseshoe-shaped bay. Walk the Carenage, where fishing boats and yachts share the water beneath Fort George. Grand Anse Beach lies a short drive south, with clear water and a long sweep of sand. In town, market stalls sell nutmeg, cocoa and cinnamon, helping earn Grenada its title, the Spice Isle.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Bridgetown rewards travelers who leave the ship and walk into Barbados’ compact capital. Its UNESCO-listed Historic Bridgetown and Garrison trace the island’s colonial history; Broad Street offers a lively glimpse of daily life. Pause beside the Careenage, where boats thread the old harbour, then browse shops for local rum and Bajan crafts. Carlisle Bay’s pale sand and clear water lie just beyond the city.
