Golden Trade Winds – Puerto Plata to San Juan
About this cruise
This one leaves Miami on December 18, 2026 and spends 10 nights visiting Nassau, Ocean Cay, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and San Juan at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. That gives you 4 days in port and 3 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. Crossing 3 borders through the Bahamas: Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Seaside takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 1 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. 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. 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.
