Glittering Wake – Oranjestad & Bonaire

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 8-night sailing from Miami on April 11, 2026 visits Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Willemstad. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Keep an eye out for Kralendijk: Bonaire's colourful coral capital. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Horizon, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 8 nights well spent.
