About This Cruise
The 10 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise is a 10-night one-way itinerary aboard Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas. You board in New York City and disembark in Miami, calling at 6 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New York (New York City), Dominican Republic (Cabo Rojo), Aruba (Oranjestad), Curacao (Willemstad), Dominican Republic (Puerto Plata/Amber Cove) and Florida (Miami).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into New York City and home from Miami, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
