Golden Sands Expedition – Grand Turk & St. Maarten
About this cruise
A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Miami on December 13, 2026, visiting Grand Turk Island, Ocean Cay and Nassau, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Caribbean route takes in Turks & Caicos Islands, Bahamas, Netherlands, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Meraviglia keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
