St Thomas

Arrival: at 08:00

Not all of St. Thomas' treasures are buried. Most of them are right in the open on this gorgeous island, home of the infamous Bluebeard's Tower. Whether looking for jewels, crystal, perfume and fine wines in the shops of Charlotte Amalie, or soaking up the sun on the incredible beaches, you'll marvel at the wealth of history on this treasure-filled paradise.

Day 6
St Croix

Arrival: at 08:00
Departure: at 17:00

When you cruise to St. Croix, you’ll get a truly mellow island experience and a nice break from bigger, more crowded beach destinations. You would think everyone would know about St. Croix, the U.S. Virgin Island’s biggest island, but it remains a little under the radar. Tourists tend to flock to the more famous St. Thomas, but there’s plenty to see and do in St. Croix for all types of travelers on a Caribbean cruise. Beaches are abundant across the island; Butler Bay, Dorsch Beach, and Frederiksted Beach are perfect for relaxed sunbathing and family fun. For a more active time on the beach, head to Coakley Bay Beach or Cane Bay Beach, where you’ll find abundant diving and snorkeling. Buck Island Reef National Monument and Sandy Point Wildlife Refuge aren’t far from the port at Frederiksted and make a great day trip for nature lovers. Foodies will enjoy the mix of Cajun and Caribbean cuisines and find delicious combinations in St. Croix. Tour a tasty rum distillery or take a day trip across the island to Point Udell, the easternmost point of the United States.

Day 8
Aruba

Departure: at 22:00

It’s hard to find a more beautiful vacation destination than the Southern Caribbean, and on our cruises to Aruba, you’re the star of that perfect snapshot. Splash and play your way across this sparkling corner of the Caribbean, or simply relax on a sun-baked beach on one of Carnival’s cruises to Aruba. The locals call it the “happy island,” and they prove it — Aruba cheerily welcomes visitors to picture-perfect strips of beach, swaths of exotic blooms, and some of the Caribbean’s top shopping and nightlife locales. Celebrate the year-round Caribbean spirit, or simply unwind to the island’s bewitching and relaxing tempo. It’s easy to find your own tropical beat when you cruise Aruba-style.

Day 9
Curacao

Arrival: at 07:00
Departure: at 16:00

Cruises to Curacao take you into the exciting pulse of the Southern Caribbean. Curaçao is where Europe meets the West Indies, and it collides here beautifully in a smashing blend of bold colors and cosmopolitan culture. The largest of what was once the Netherlands Antilles, this Caribbean island has it all. Cruise to Curaçao for the beautiful beaches and historic architecture, but don’t miss everything from the splashy sights of marine parks to the distinctive local liqueur — it all awaits on cruises to Curaçao. Above all, what awaits you is the warm, welcoming embrace you’ll start to feel the minute you set sail to Curaçao.

Carnival Venezia

It’s a long way from Venice to NYC, but Carnival Venezia thinks the two could be next-door neighbors. This ship sails from its Big Apple homeport, year-round, starting in spring 2023! And what can NYC find in this ship? Well, there’s more than a little Italy in this one — that’s why we’re calling this new type of cruising Fun Italian Style™. It starts with onboard flavor and flair in spots like Piazza San Marco (the grand, elegant atrium), the three-course Marco Polo Restaurant complete with Italian sculptures and authentic dishes featured nightly, Teatro Rosso and its marbled columns, red velvety seats and fun Playlist Productions™ up on stage. Terrazza staterooms are a whole new way to stay in style and comfort, all in a great location close to exclusive amenities. Plus we’ll be announcing more exciting new stuff in the future! There’s also a lot of the classic Carnival fun that repeat cruisers ( hey there!) know and love. Cruise food done deliciously comes from spots like Bonsai Sushi™, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™, Lido Marketplace, and Bonsai Teppanyaki™. Places to gather and celebrate life, vacation or whatever include Piano Bar 88, Serenity Bar and Heroes Tribute™ Bar. Or celebrate relaxation at Cloud 9 Spa™ and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. For the kids, there’s spaces made just for their age like Camp Ocean™, Circle “C”® and Club O2®. And outdoors, get ready for a very splashy WaterWorks™, SportSquare™ featuring a ropes course, jogging track, mini golf and outdoor fitness center. So as we were saying… hey, we’re cruising here! Carnival Venezia and all this Fun Italian Style sets sail from NYC next spring. Andiamo!
