ITINERARY

Dreaming of island-hopping in style?

Set sail this November aboard for an unforgettable 16-night journey from Miami to Bridgetown, touching the heart of the Southern Caribbean. The lush rainforests of Costa Rica and the colorful colonial charm of Cartagena will definitely bring something new to savor.

And as a special highlight, this cruise brings Europe’s coastal charm onboard with the exclusive Breathtaking Corfu shore event, paired with a 3-course Mediterranean-inspired lunch.

What could be a better way to indulge your senses with a taste of Greece, even in the tropics?

Seven Seas Splendor

Voyage dates: November 17 – December 3, 2025

Day 1: Begin your journey in vibrant Miami and soak up Art Deco charm in South Beach, visit Wynwood’s murals, or enjoy a Cuban coffee in Little Havana before setting sail in luxury.

Day 2: This is your full day at sea to explore the ship. Pamper yourself at the spa, sip cocktails poolside, and settle into the indulgent rhythm of life aboard the Seven Seas SplendorÂŽ.

Pro Tip: Wear a long-sleeve sun shirt and hat to minimize sun exposure, reducing the need for sunscreen.

Day 3: Visit the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio, which is famous for its reef diving and turquoise waters. Or you can snorkel in Palancar Reef. The east coast offers a quieter, more natural side of the island.

Cozumel, Mexico

Day 4: If you’re a history enthusiast, this day is for you. With a tour of the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben, learn interesting facts and immerse yourself into the beautiful ruins of history. Alternatively, lounge by the beach in Mahahual or snorkel in the crystal-clear Caribbean.

Day 5: Hello to adventure! Zipline through the jungle, relax on white sand beaches, or explore wildlife sanctuaries nearby in the Harvest Caye.

Day 6: Visit Gumbalimba Park for monkeys and macaws or explore West Bay’s beaches and marine life. This is a diver’s paradise with vibrant reefs.

Day 7: This is your chance to rejoice, rewind, and recharge with a day at sea. Enjoy fine dining, wine tastings, and enrichment lectures, or relax in the spa with ocean views.

Day 8: Glide through the Tortuguero Canals for a chance to spot sloths, monkeys, and toucans. Nature lovers will also enjoy exploring nearby rainforests and botanical gardens.

Pro Tip: Head to nearby towns like Cahuita or Puerto Viejo for beautiful beaches and a more relaxed atmosphere. Also, visit LimĂłn city. It has some sketchy neighborhoods, so it's best to explore the surrounding areas.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

Day 9: Sail through the legendary Panama Canal, one of the world’s great engineering marvels. Later, explore the Gatun Locks or join an excursion to Panama City by train.

Pro Tip: ColĂłn is a rough city. It's recommended to book organized excursions such as THIS to nearby attractions rather than exploring the city independently.

Day 10: Enjoy open ocean serenity and the ship’s many luxuries. This is a perfect time for afternoon tea, a spa treatment, or a sunset dinner on deck.

Day 11: Stroll the romantic, flower-draped streets of the Old City, shop for emeralds, or take a carriage ride past Spanish colonial mansions and churches.

Day 12: Use this morning to explore Castillo San Felipe de Barajas or sip local coffee in Getsemaní’s colorful cafes.

Day 13: Relax on Eagle Beach, go off-roading in Arikok National Park, or explore Dutch colonial architecture in the town center.

Day 14: Willemstad, famous for its pastel waterfront, offers charming streets, museums, and sea caves. Take a beach break at Playa Knip or snorkel with sea turtles.

Pro Tip: If you want a quieter, more local experience. Playa Lagun is a gem; the calm waters, great snorkeling, and turtles just offshore. Also, rent a car! The best spots in Curaçao are a bit spread out, and taxis can get pricey fast.

Day 15: Kralendijk is one of the Caribbean’s best diving and snorkeling spots. Visit the salt flats, kayak in the mangroves, or sample local cactus liqueur.

Day 16: Grenada, also known as the “Spice Isle,” offers fragrant nutmeg plantations, cascading waterfalls, and Grand Anse Beach’s soft sands.

Pro tip: Consider extending your stay to explore caves, rum distilleries, or the UNESCO-listed capital.
