Indigo Crossing – ABC Islands from Florida

About this cruise

8 nights, 3 ports, all from Miami on March 4, 2028. The route visits Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Willemstad and the whole thing just flows. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Venezia takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 5 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. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 8-night sailing is a strong place to start.
