Pearl Strand Expedition – Puerto Plata & Tortola

About this cruise

By August 7, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Miami, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Aura joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2027. Still has that new-ship feel. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
