Cove Dweller – Puerto Plata & Stirrup Cay

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Miami on March 22, 2026, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. Don't rush through St. Thomas, which is known as US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Aqua (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
