5 days, one-way from San Juan to Miami
About this cruise
This is the kind of trip that just works. 5 nights from San Juan, visiting Grand Turk Island, Bimini and Miami, sailing April 10, 2027, and nothing about it feels forced. You wind up in Miami, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 3 stops with a breather between each one. The Caribbean route takes in Turks & Caicos Islands, Bahamas and United States, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, The ship is Virgin Voyages's Valiant Lady. Good for anyone who can't take two weeks off but still wants the cruise experience. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
