Ocean Discovery – Puerto Plata/Amber Cove, St Thomas & Tortola

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Miami on May 27, 2028 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Tortola: BVI's mountainous sailing paradise. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Norwegian Aura launched in 2027, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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 May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 4 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
