Caribbean & Bahamas from/to Miami
Eleven nights from Miami take you aboard Silver Shadow to seven Caribbean islands, each revealing a different character. The all-inclusive concept with butler service, premium wines and Wi-Fi turns the ship into a floating refuge between port days. The route combines Puerto Rico with the French, British and Dutch Antilles before returning to the warm south of Florida. A classic Caribbean round voyage with a focus on the Leeward Islands.
Route highlights
- San Juan: UNESCO old town with the fortresses of El Morro and San Cristóbal, Puerto Rico's colonial Spanish heritage.
- Saint John's: Capital of Antigua, the heart of the Caribbean with 365 beaches and Georgian harbour architecture at English Harbour.
- Gustavia: Main town of St Barthélemy, once a Swedish colony, today a sophisticated meeting place with red roofs above the bay.
- St Kitts: Volcanic island with the UNESCO Brimstone Hill Fortress and a sugar-cane railway crossing the tropical interior.
- Little Bay: Anchorage off Montserrat, the green island with the active Soufrière Hills volcano and its abandoned capital Plymouth.
