Miami is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots. It has so much to offer; from its countless beach areas, to culture and museums, from spa and shopping days out, to endless cuban restaurants and cafes. Miami is a multicultural city that has something to offer to everyone.

Between port calls, the ship itself becomes the destination. Sea days are your chance to slow the pace, explore without schedules, and enjoy experiences that simply don’t exist on land. Start the morning with a quiet sunrise walk on deck, coffee in hand, watching the horizon stretch endlessly in every direction. Later, settle into a poolside lounger, take a dip, or enjoy a shaded spot with a good book and the gentle rhythm of the ocean as your soundtrack.

As the day unfolds, there’s no shortage of ways to stay engaged or completely unplug. Join a cooking demonstration, attend an interesting lecture, or challenge yourself with trivia, pickleball, or a fitness class. Prefer relaxation? The spa, observation lounges, and calm interior spaces offer peaceful retreats. As evening arrives, sea days truly shine—dinner without rush, live music, shows, stargazing on deck, and unhurried conversations that often become some of the most memorable moments of the entire voyage. At sea, time feels fuller, simpler, and surprisingly meaningful.

The capital of Dutch St. Maarten stretches about a mile (1½ km) along an isthmus between Great Bay and the Salt Pond and has five parallel streets. Most of the village's dozens of shops and restaurants are on Front Street, narrow and cobblestone, closest to Great Bay. It's generally congested when cruise ships are in port, because of its many duty-free shops and several casinos. Little lanes called steegjes connect Front Street with Back Street, which has fewer shops and considerably less congestion. Along the beach is a ½-mile-long (1-km-long) boardwalk with restaurants and several Wi-Fi hot spots.Wathey Square (pronounced watty) is in the heart of the village. Directly across from the square are the town hall and the courthouse, in a striking white building with cupola. The structure was built in 1793 and has served as the commander's home, a fire station, a jail, and a post office. The streets surrounding the square are lined with hotels, duty-free shops, restaurants, and cafés. The Captain Hodge Pier, just off the square, is a good spot to view Great Bay and the beach that stretches alongside.

Mountainous St. Kitts, the first English settlement in the Leeward Islands, crams some stunning scenery into its 65 square miles (168 square km). Vast, brilliant green fields of sugarcane (the former cash crop, now slowly being replanted) run to the shore. The fertile, lush island has some fascinating natural and historical attractions: a rain forest replete with waterfalls, thick vines, and secret trails; a central mountain range dominated by the 3,792-foot Mt. Liamuiga, whose crater has long been dormant; and Brimstone Hill, known in the 18th century as the Gibraltar of the West Indies. St. Kitts and Nevis, along with Anguilla, achieved self-government as an associated state of Great Britain in 1967. In 1983 St. Kitts and Nevis became an independent nation. English with a strong West Indian lilt is spoken here. People are friendly but shy; always ask before you take photographs. Also, be sure to wear wraps or shorts over beach attire when you're in public places.
