MSC Cruises - Miami & Western Caribbean

11 nights^ • 30th October 2019
With a 3-night pre-cruise stay in Miami, you're bound to have boat loads of fun! Visit Central Miami Beach where 1950s screen stars had fun in the sun and helped cement Miami's international reputation as a glamorous holiday spot. From Miami, embark on a 7-night Western Caribbean cruise onboard MSC Seaside where you'll visit many incredible ports of call, one being George Town in the Cayman Islands where shopaholics can go wild as the entire country is duty-free. As well as being duty-free, the country is jam-packed with wildlife, if you're lucky, besides the riot of tropical plants, you may also encounter the extremely rare blue iguana! So what are you waiting for? Step onboard MSC Seaside for a holiday of a lifetime!

Day 1: Fly UK » Miami
Fly from the UK to Miami. Upon arrival transfer to your 4* hotel for a 3-night stay.

Day 2-3: Miami, Florida
MSC Cruises shore excursions can be a clever option to see Miami. It's a city of wildly diverse districts, jigsawed into a vast urban corridor from two technically separate cities: mainland Miami and the huge sand bar known as Miami Beach. IF you're sticking to the most popular areas in Miami Beach and downtown, though, you can zip around easily by bus and on foot. During an MSC cruise in the Caribbean most people spend their time in South Beach, a fairly small area at the southern end of the sand bar, where you'll find many of Florida's leading art galleries, trendsetting restaurants, and much of its boisterous club scene.

Day 4: Embark MSC Seaside in Miami
Transfer from the hotel to Miami cruise port to embark your ship for a 7-night western Caribbean cruise.

Day 5: Day at Sea
MSC Seaside offers endless fun for the whole family, with a full-sized bowling alleys, a dedicated family restaurant, and the most interactive, multi storey water park at sea featuring 5 different water slides, an AquaPlay^TM area designed for tots and an adventure trail. In addition, MSC Seaside boasts colourful kids' play areas created in partnership with LEGO® and Chicco®.

Day 6: Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Ochos Rios means eight rivers in Spanish, and it's precisely its rivers, as well as its crystalline sea, that are its main characteristics; characteristics that will not disappoint visitors to Jamaica wishing to immerse themselves in the lush vegetation of these marvellous dream locations. On Main Street, you will be able to shop or pass your day on solid ground. However, during your MSC Caribbean cruise, they suggest you try the many outdoor activities offered on its rivers, such as kayaking and tubing.

Day 7: George Town, Cayman Islands
Once disembarked from your MSC Cruise Ship in the Cayman Islands, you're welcomed by the port of George Town. The capital of the island and of the country, it is a traditional Caribbean city with colourful wooden houses that alternate with newer buildings.

Day 8: Cozumel, Mexico
A forty-kilometre-long island directly off the coast from Playa del Carmen, Isla Cozumel is a renowned cruise-ship call: nearly every day, up to ten cruise ships dock at one of the island's three dedicated piers, all just south of the only town, San Miguel.

A holiday to Mexico with MSC Cruises will present you with restaurants, souvenir shops and jewellery stores, all along the malecon (Av Rafael Melgar) in downtown San Miguel.

Day 9: Day at Sea
On MSC Seaside, you can enjoy the spectacular ocean views while you eat. And with 10 delightful eateries to choose from, including five sophisticated speciality restaurants, dining on MSC Seaside is as varied as it is delicious. Families are superbly catered for. For the perfect pre-dinner aperitif, late night drink or daytime refreshment, there is a choice of 19 smart bars and lounges, each with its own unique atmosphere.

Day 10: Nassau, Bahamas
During an MSC cruise through the Caribbean Sea, you will visit Nassau, which occupies the eastern portion of the island of New Providence and is linked by a charming bridge with the neighbouring Paradise Island, where Atlantis Waterscape is located.

The largest open-air aquarium in the world, it has over 100 different species of colourful tropical fish. In Nassau, you can interact with dolphins and go on excursions to neighbouring islands in motorboats. The historical centre of Nassau boasts charming colonial-style buildings and numerous pastel-coloured wooden shops that alternate with Georgian-style structures.
