Trade Wind Sojourn – ABC Islands from Miami

About this cruise

You board in Miami on November 21, 2026 for 8 nights visiting Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Willemstad, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Of the stops, Kralendijk tends to be the one people talk about: Bonaire's colourful coral capital. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Horizon takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
