Journey, Caribbean Highlights Voyage ex Miami Return
10 Night Cruise sailing from Miami roundtrip aboard Azamara Journey.
Looking for the ultimate March Break vacation? We've got just the thing: an island romp through the Caribbean!
At St. John, you’ll find miles of scenic mountain roads, protected parklands, and a colorful underwater snorkeling trail at beautiful Trunk Bay. Explore the lively and luxurious Philipsburg in St. Maarten with a late stay in port. Then relax on the gorgeous white beaches of St. Barts. Stroll the pretty harbor and explore the chic boutiques and fine restaurants. We stay late here, too, so you can enjoy the sunset, perhaps with a flute of French champagne. It’s St. Barts, after all.
Get out in the great outdoors in Tortola with a trek to the top of Sage Peak, or live life on island time at Smuggler’s Cove Beach. Next it’s on to Punta Cana. This dazzling gem in the Dominican is famous the world over for its stunning beaches and is so much more than a cookie-cutter resort town. Before heading home, stop for a beach picnic and relaxing under the palm trees of Labadee® on the north coast of Hispaniola. It’s our own private beach and your secluded oasis.
Highlights of this cruise:
Miami, Florida
Propelled by Latin rhythms, with a bold style all its own, Miami is a spicy melting pot of cultures. Immerse yourself in the colorful Art Deco district, vibrant nightlife, and beaches for sun-worshipers and water sport enthusiasts alike. Put some money on the horses at Hialeah Park, one of racings oldest and most prominent tracks, right next to a lake full of pink flamingos. Go adventuring in the Everglades, looking for ‘gators and manatees, canoeing through mangrove tunnels, or paddling a sea kayak through the “10,000 islands”. Flashy and full of life, it’s a great place to play.
St. John, U.S.Virgin Islands
Smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John is only nine miles by three miles, and two-thirds of that area is national park. In colonial times almost the entire island was clear-cut to make room for sugar cane; now there is fervent support for protecting the new growth, much of it introduced. Hiking trails of all lengths and levels of difficulty traverse these acres, and lead through the ruins of plantations. The park also contains 5,650 acres of submerged land, with an abundance of coral gardens. Trunk Bay, one of the world’s most stunning beaches, offers a marked under-sea snorkeling trail so you know what you are looking at.
Gustavia, St. Barts
St. Barts is a tropical paradise with a French flair. Red rooftops cluster on deep green hillsides, and front an irresistibly blue bay. Tranquil lagoons and dozens of creamy white sand beaches vie for your attention with chic boutiques and French restaurants, and the air is filled with mingling scents of frangipani and fresh baguettes. Explore the dramatic scenery in your own ATV, cruise the coast in a speedboat, or hike to a secluded cove for a swim.
Philipsburg, St Maarten
It’s hard to get lost in Philipsburg – one mile of colorful Creole houses long and four streets deep, it is easy to explore.
It is also a place where you may find yourself on the brink of an adventure you have long imagined. Transfixed by those gutsy mariners sailing for glory in the America’s Cup? Now is your chance to race aboard one of those ace vessels as a working crew member. Thrilled by the stories of divers but intimidated by SCUBA? Try SNUBA and float carefree, tethered to the surface by a long hose and an ample supply of air.
The reward: warm waters, a rainbow of tropical reef fish, sunken wrecks, and tall tales of your own to take home with you.
