Spice Route Voyage – Puerto Plata & San Juan

About this cruise

You sail from Port Canaveral on April 1, 2028 and spend 8 nights visiting St. Thomas, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Celebration Key. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Festivale launched in 2027, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
