Caribbean Cruise Departure Ports
You can start your Caribbean escape from two vibrant South Florida cities, each offering sun, sea, and plenty to do before or after your voyage.
Sail from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades, a convenient gateway to the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Panama Canal with plenty of nearby hotels and beaches. Spend extra time enjoying the city’s waterfront promenade, dining along Las Olas Boulevard, or relaxing on its wide, palm-lined sands.
Depart from Miami, a lively oceanside city known for its iconic skyline, colorful Art Deco architecture, and world-famous South Beach. Make the most of your trip by sampling Cuban-inspired cuisine, exploring vibrant neighborhoods, or simply soaking up the energy along the waterfront before you sail.
Plenty of Room at the Pool
Take in breathtaking views from your private verandah, sip Caribbean-inspired cocktails, play a round of pickleball surrounded by 360° sea views, or lounge alongside our adults-only Sea View Pool as your perfectly sized ship carries you from one tropical destination to the next.

Caribbean cruises sail from late October to April, with the most reliable weather running from December through April. This dry season brings warm temperatures and calm seas across the Eastern, Western, and Southern Caribbean. Spring and fall sailings offer lower fares and fewer visitors at popular ports, with the trade-off of a higher chance of rain.
That depends on your route. Eastern Caribbean itineraries favor islands like St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Grand Turk; Western itineraries lean toward Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Grand Cayman; and Southern voyages reach Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. Caribbean Collectors’ Voyages combine back-to-back itineraries for a deeper exploration, often spanning multiple regions. Look for itineraries that visit the islands you most want to explore.
Most Caribbean cruises run from seven to eleven days, sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale. Shorter getaways of five to six days are available if you're tight on time, while longer voyages let you reach the Southern Caribbean and spend more days in port. Choose the length that fits your schedule and the islands you'd like to discover.
