Day 1 - Miami, Florida
As far as vacation destinations go, Miami tops most sun-seekers’ lists. With its gorgeous beaches, vibrant neighborhoods and melting pot of cultures, the Magic City is the perfect place to spend a few days before you island hop. Ahead of your cruise from the Port of Miami, jump-start your morning in true Miami style with a Cuban cafecito from a ventanita — a streetside shop window. If you’re looking for a bit more action, head to South Beach — home to world-class restaurants, nightlife, shopping and lively beaches, all set against snap-worthy Art Deco buildings.
Day 2 - Fun Day at Sea!
While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination.
Day 3 - Nassau, Bahamas
Caribbean charm shines in the Bahamian capital, where you’re never more than a few steps away from rhythmic percussions, appetizing flavors, white-sand beaches, and some of the clearest waters in the world. This picture-perfect paradise was once a pirate’s haven— and you can explore its colorful past of buccaneers, blockade-runners and bootleggers along historical streets and at the three colonial fortresses that line the shores. If you’re looking for a more hands-on maritime adventure, look no further. Cruise to Nassau and swim with stingrays, dive with dolphins, or spot colorful coral on a glass-bottom boat. And just across the bridge is beautiful Paradise Island, home to world-famous luxury hotels and resorts. Spend the day at Royal Beach Club? Paradise Island with all-inclusive access to some of the best food, cocktails, beaches and pools in The Bahamas.
Day 4 - Fun Day at Sea!
Sit back, kick off your shoes and put your feet up during our 'at sea' days, where you can chill in the bar, lounge by the pool or enjoy a relaxing beauty treatment in the spa. For simple pleasures, why not try a game of table tennis? Or if you’re feeling energetic, now’s the chance to explore all the amazing activities the ship has to offer, from spectacular, West-End-style entertainment to adrenalin-charged sports.
Day 5 - Miami, Florida Miami is one of the most popular vacation spots in the USA, and a perennial favorite for gay travelers. Miami Beach is the place to be. You'll see a lot of beautiful people, not least scantily clad gay men! Right by Miami Beach you'll find many excellent bars and restaurants. There are many charming Art Deco buildings in Miami and historic hotels. It's home to a big art scene, a thriving culinary scene and buzzing gay nightlife.There are many charming Art Deco buildings in Miami and historic hotels.
