Island Paradise – Aruba & Curacao

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 March 7, 2026 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Oranjestad and Willemstad. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Miami, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, Aruba and Curaçao, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Oranjestad, Aruba's cheerful Dutch-Caribbean capital. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Magic keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
