Exotic Haven – San Juan & St. Thomas

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Miami on October 3, 2026 visits Half Moon Cay, San Juan, Philipsburg and St. Thomas. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Miami, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Philipsburg, which is known as Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Magic takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 4 ports across 8 nights covers a lot.
