Banana Leaf – Puerto Plata & Tortola

About this cruise

You board in Miami on January 17, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), which is known as Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Aqua launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
