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

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Miami on August 26, 2028 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Puerto Plata (Amber Cove): Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Aura joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2027. Still has that new-ship feel. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
