Golden Sands – 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 July 11, 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. St. Thomas stands out. It's US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. 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 July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
