Caribbean Odyssey – Jamaica, Colombia & Aruba

About this cruise

If you've got 21 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on March 7, 2027 through Ocho Rios, Cartagena and Colon, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 8 borders through the Caribbean: Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, Netherlands and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Cartagena tends to be the one people talk about: Colonial splendour behind fortress walls. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Poesia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
