Tropical Tranquility – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on February 7, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting St. Thomas, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Celebration Key at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Celebration takes the food seriously, with 18 restaurants to choose from. 11 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. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
