About This Cruise
The 9 Night A Journey from From Hidden Shores to Timeless Elegance is a 9-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Miami, calling at 11 ports across 9 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Florida (Miami), Dominican Republic (Puerto Plata/Amber Cove, Samana), Puerto Rico (San Juan), US Virgin Islands (St Thomas), British Virgin Islands (Virgin Gorda), Florida (Miami) and 2 more, among others.
Because it's round-trip from Miami, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
