Southern Caribbean Escape with Miami Beach and Cartagena Stays

Bespoke Cruise & Stay
Handpicked cruise and hotel stays pair together for more of the journey, with your Voyage Consultant shaping every detail to your taste.

Cruise overview
Fourteen nights that begin in Miami and end in Colombia, stopping somewhere remarkable in between at almost every turn. Crystal Serenity traces a southern arc through the Caribbean, from the candy coloured streets of Samaná to the crescent beaches of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, before the landscape shifts entirely as Aruba’s desert scrub and rust red rock come into view. Then there is Cartagena, where the journey saves its finest hour for last. The old walled city glows gold in the afternoon light, its colonial squares still carrying the heat and colour of centuries. Two nights ashore here give you time to properly feel the place, rather than glimpse it from the gangway. This is a route that rewards those who want the Caribbean in full, not as a highlights reel but as a slow and textured story.
Itinerary
Miami, USA
Your journey begins as you land in Miami and clear arrivals. A private transfer takes you directly to your hotel, where you can settle in, freshen up, and shake off any jet lag. With the rest of the afternoon free, take a gentle stroll or simply rest ahead of two full days in this vibrant Florida city.
