Exotic Haven – San Juan & St. Thomas

About this cruise

You sail from Miami on October 3, 2026 and spend 8 nights visiting Half Moon Cay, San Juan, Philipsburg and St. Thomas. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. 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. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Magic takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands.
