MSC Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Miami, Florida

   Depart 16:00

   United States

   

   Miami is a city of perpetual reinvention — the Art Deco jewel of South Beach giving way to the street-art murals of Wynwood, the Cuban rhythms of Calle Ocho, and the glass-and-steel towers of a skyline that has redrawn itself every decade since Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad south in 1896. Must-dos include strolling the pastel-fronted Ocean Drive at dusk and exploring the world-class collections at the Pérez Art Museum Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay. November through April delivers idyllic weather — warm and dry — while summer brings heat, humidity, and hurricane risk. Miami handles cruise departures elegantly, with the Port of Miami a short taxi ride from the best neighbourhoods.

4. Day 4

   Philipsburg, St. Maarten

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Sint Maarten

   

   Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, packs extraordinary energy onto a narrow sand spit between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond — two parallel streets of duty-free boutiques, creole restaurants, and rum bars backed by a beach where cruise ships anchor so close that their hulls seem to dominate the shoreline. The island's most celebrated spectacle is entirely involuntary: Princess Juliana International Airport, where landing aircraft pass at rooftop height over Maho Beach, drawing crowds of thrill-seekers every day. The 1648 Mount Concordia Treaty, dividing this sliver of land between France and the Netherlands, created the world's smallest territory shared by two nations. The dry season from December to April is optimal.

5. Day 5

   Basseterre

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Saint Kitts and Nevis

   

   Basseterre, capital of Saint Kitts and Nevis — the smallest sovereign nation in the Americas — is the gateway to an island whose volcanic drama and layered colonial history distinguish it from every other Caribbean port. Mount Liamuiga's cloud-capped summit and its rainforest-filled crater lake await hikers, while the UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortress, one of the finest surviving examples of British colonial military architecture, commands sweeping views across neighboring islands. The surrounding plantation inns — sugar estates converted into intimate boutique hotels — offer the most atmospheric accommodation in the Eastern Caribbean. Visit November through April for the driest, sunniest weather.

6. Day 6

   Charlotte Amalie

   Arrive 07:00Depart 15:30

   U.S. Virgin Islands

   

   Charlotte Amalie, the Danish-founded capital of the U.S. Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, is a Caribbean port of rare historical depth where colonial architecture, world-class duty-free shopping, and volcanic hillside panoramas converge around one of the Atlantic's most striking natural harbors. No visit is complete without climbing the historic 99 Steps for sweeping harbor views and taking a ferry to St. John's pristine Virgin Islands National Park. The dry season from December through April offers the most luminous skies and calmest seas, coinciding perfectly with peak cruise season.

7. Day 7

   Amber Cove, Dominican Republic

   Arrive 10:00Depart 18:00

   Dominican Republic

   

   Amber Cove is a purpose-built cruise gateway on the Dominican Republic's northern coast, just minutes from the historic city of Puerto Plata — where Spanish colonial fortresses and a Victorian-era cable car await beneath the shadow of Isabel de Torres mountain. The port itself offers a tiered freshwater pool complex, watersports, and a curated market of amber jewelry, featuring some of the finest specimens in the world with prehistoric insects preserved inside. The surrounding Cibao Valley is prime territory for zip-lining through rainforest canopy. Visit November through April to enjoy the island's most reliably sunny season.

8. Day 8

   At Sea

   

9. Day 9

   Miami, Florida

   Arrive 07:00Depart 16:00

   United States

   

   Miami is a city of perpetual reinvention — the Art Deco jewel of South Beach giving way to the street-art murals of Wynwood, the Cuban rhythms of Calle Ocho, and the glass-and-steel towers of a skyline that has redrawn itself every decade since Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad south in 1896. Must-dos include strolling the pastel-fronted Ocean Drive at dusk and exploring the world-class collections at the Pérez Art Museum Miami overlooking Biscayne Bay.

Miami handles cruise departures elegantly, with the Port of Miami a short taxi ride from the best neighbourhoods.

10. Day 10

    At Sea

    

11. Day 11

    Grand Turk

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Turks and Caicos Islands

    

    Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a captivating port known for its rich history and stunning natural beauty. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like conch fritters and exploring the nearby paradise of Providenciales. The best time to visit is from December to April, when the weather is most pleasant and ideal for beach activities.

12. Day 12

    At Sea

    

13. Day 13

    Ocean Cay

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Bahamas

    

    Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve is a restored private island in the Bahamas Berry Islands chain, where a former sand-dredging site has been transformed into a marine conservation area with seven white-sand beaches and regenerating coral reefs. Must-dos include snorkelling the marine reserve with resident biologists, kayaking over coral gardens, and stargazing under genuinely dark Caribbean skies. Visit November through April for the most comfortable conditions.

14. Day 14

    Nassau

    Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00

    Bahamas

    

    Nassau wears its layered past lightly — pirates once commanded these shores, and the elegant colonial facades along Bay Street still whisper of British rule — but today the Bahamian capital is above all a place of cerulean water and indolent pleasure. The Queen's Staircase, 65 steps hand-carved from solid limestone by enslaved labourers in the late 18th century, and the clifftop ruins of Fort Fincastle reward those who venture beyond the waterfront boutiques. Paradise Island's Harbour island, accessible by water taxi, delivers some of the Atlantic's most celebrated pink-sand beaches. Nassau is year-round in climate; November through April brings the most reliably perfect weather.

15. Day 15

    Miami, Florida

    Arrive 07:00

    United States

    

    Miami is a city of perpetual reinvention — the Art Deco jewel of South Beach giving way to the street-art murals of Wynwood, the Cuban rhythms of Calle Ocho, and the glass-and-steel towers of a skyline that has redrawn itself every decade since Julia Tuttle convinced Henry Flagler to extend his railroad south in 1896.
