Ports of Call
2026 Exotic Caribbean Itinerary
(Ports and time are subject to change)
Cape Canaveral, FL
Set sail for the Caribbean, where breathtaking beaches, natural wonders, and UNESCO sites await. Discover a stunning landscape of verdant mountain peaks, lush tropical rainforests filled with exotic wildlife, and hidden waterfalls waiting to be explored. Dive into vibrant coral reefs teeming with a variety of colorful marine life. A journey through the Caribbean promises new adventures at every turn, both on board and ashore, creating unforgettable memories for every traveler.
Nassau, Bahamas
Beach days hit next level at the first of its kind Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise. Here, exclusive meets all-inclusive. From your first water taxi ride to your last drink at the swim up bar, each mouthwatering bite and everything in between, it's all complimentary with your All-Inclusive Day Pass.
George Town, Grand Cayman
No destination blends global finance with the Caribbean lifestyle quite like the Cayman Islands. This upscale destination offers world-class restaurants, designer boutiques, and duty-free shopping, plus white sand beaches, brilliant blue waters, and teeming coral reefs. Enjoy postcard views of George Town, Seven Mile Beach, and West Bay from the custom-designed Cayman Explorer. You can step down easily into shallow waters to interact with the welcoming stingrays.
Cozumel, Mexico
Amid the largest coral reef in the West, this Caribbean island lures anglers, divers, snorkelers, and beachgoers.
