Tropical Escape – Bahamas & St. Thomas

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on January 15, 2028 and spends 8 nights visiting Half Moon Cay, St. Thomas, Philipsburg and St. Croix at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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 Magic takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
