Ocean Discovery – Puerto Plata/Amber Cove, Bimini Islands & Miami

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 5 nights from Miami on June 26, 2027, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Bimini. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Bimini stands out. It's Hemingway's island in the stream. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Valiant Lady takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 12 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
