Depart the UK on your included scheduled flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico. On arrival, make your own way to the Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino, where you’ll enjoy your pre-cruise night in Puerto Rico.

After checking in and settling into your room, head out to begin discovering San Juan. You could enjoy dinner at one of the city’s excellent restaurants, take a stroll along the waterfront or visit La Placita de Santurce, a lively neighbourhood known for its restaurants, bars and local atmosphere.

If you’d prefer a relaxed first evening, simply enjoy the facilities at your resort and perhaps have a drink while taking in views across the city. As a solo traveller, this gives you the freedom to ease into your holiday at your own pace before your Caribbean cruise begins tomorrow.

Tomorrow, you’ll board A Journey of Caribbean Delicacies & Idyllic Islands and begin your voyage through the Caribbean.

Included Accommodation: Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino

Enjoy your final morning in San Juan before beginning your Caribbean cruise. After breakfast, you could spend some time exploring the colourful streets of Old San Juan, wandering its historic alleyways and admiring the colonial buildings and centuries-old forts.

Discover the city’s Spanish and Caribbean heritage, browse the boutiques and artisan shops or stop at a local café for a taste of Puerto Rican cuisine. You could also visit Castillo San Felipe del Morro, one of San Juan’s most impressive historic landmarks, or simply relax on one of the city’s beautiful beaches.

Later, make the short journey to the cruise terminal for embarkation between 12:00 and 14:00. Settle into your ship, explore the facilities and begin getting to know your fellow travellers before setting sail at 17:00.

As the ship leaves San Juan, enjoy your first views of Puerto Rico from the water and look forward to the Caribbean adventures ahead. Your solo cruise and stay holiday is officially underway.

Wake up in Philipsburg, the colourful capital of the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, where Dutch and Caribbean influences come together on this fascinating dual-nation island.

Spend the day discovering the waterfront and historic streets of Philipsburg. Stroll along Great Bay, browse the shops for local crafts and Dutch-inspired treats, or relax on the beautiful sandy beach. You could also visit Fort Amsterdam for panoramic views across the bay and learn more about the island’s colonial history.

For a more active day, take to the water by kayak or snorkel, explore the colourful coral reefs or join an island excursion. Alternatively, simply enjoy the relaxed Caribbean atmosphere from a beachside café or bar.

As a solo traveller, you’ll have the freedom to choose how you spend your day. Join an organised excursion to explore more of the island, meet fellow guests on board or simply enjoy some time at your own pace.

Return to the ship after a memorable day discovering Sint Maarten, ready for the next island on your Caribbean adventure.

Wake up in St John’s, Antigua, where colourful Caribbean culture, beautiful beaches and plenty of adventure await. With a full day to explore, you can choose to make the most of the island’s natural beauty or discover more of its fascinating history.

For an adrenaline-filled day, you could swim with stingrays, zipline through the rainforest or cross a scenic suspension bridge surrounded by lush tropical scenery. Alternatively, join a food experience, sample some of Antigua’s excellent aged rum or take an island tour to discover more of the local culture.

For a taste of Antigua’s history, explore St John’s historic centre, with its colourful buildings and lively streets, or head into the hills to visit Shirley Heights. The former military lookout offers spectacular views across the island and coastline.

Of course, you could also keep things wonderfully relaxed. Antigua is famous for its beautiful white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, making it easy to spend the day swimming, relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying a drink beside the Caribbean Sea.

With so many ways to experience the island, St John’s offers solo travellers the freedom to make the day their own, whether you’re looking for adventure, culture or complete relaxation.

Arrive in Little Bay, Montserrat, a small island with a fascinating story and some of the Caribbean’s most dramatic volcanic landscapes. In 1997, the eruption of Soufrière Hills Volcano devastated the former capital of Plymouth, transforming much of the southern part of the island.

Today, Montserrat offers a remarkable mix of lush scenery, beautiful coastline and fascinating history. One of the highlights is a visit to the ruins of Plymouth, where buildings remain partially buried beneath layers of volcanic debris. A guided tour provides an insight into the eruption and its lasting impact on the island and its people.

You could also visit the Montserrat Volcano Observatory for spectacular views towards Soufrière Hills and learn more about the volcano’s activity and the forces that have shaped the island.

For a more active experience, explore Montserrat’s lush interior on a jungle hike, kayak along the coastline or discover its beautiful beaches and coral-rich waters. Keep an eye out for wildlife and, depending on the season, you may even spot whales offshore.

As the day comes to an end, enjoy a drink at a local beach bar and take in the spectacular Caribbean sunset. Montserrat’s musical heritage, natural beauty and remarkable resilience make this a truly memorable stop on your Caribbean cruise.

Arrive in Road Town, the colourful capital of the British Virgin Islands, where beautiful beaches, lush mountains and sparkling Caribbean waters provide the backdrop for another memorable day.

Spend some time exploring the town and its colourful colonial buildings before heading out to discover more of the island. You could make your way into the hills to explore Sage Mountain National Park, where forest trails lead through lush tropical scenery and offer a completely different perspective of the islands.

The British Virgin Islands are also perfect for getting out on the water. Join a catamaran excursion between the islands, snorkel among colourful coral reefs or explore secluded bays and beaches. For something more adventurous, try ziplining through the treetops or take a 4×4 tour into the island’s rugged interior.

As the sailing capital of the Caribbean, Road Town is also a wonderful place to simply watch the boats and yachts cruising between the islands. Relax beside the water with a local rum cocktail, or find a beach and enjoy some time in the Caribbean sunshine.

For solo travellers, there are plenty of opportunities to join organised excursions and meet fellow travellers, while still having the freedom to explore Road Town and the British Virgin Islands at your own pace.

Enjoy a relaxing day at sea as your Caribbean journey continues. With no port to reach, you can slow the pace and make the most of the experiences and facilities on board Explora Journeys.

Start the day with a leisurely breakfast before perhaps taking part in a wellness class, enjoying some time by the pool or simply finding a quiet spot to watch the Caribbean pass by. With a choice of restaurants and dining experiences, take your time over lunch before discovering more of what the ship has to offer.

There are also plenty of opportunities to meet fellow guests. Join an organised activity, attend one of the onboard events or enjoy a drink in one of the ship’s lounges. Alternatively, use the day to simply relax, read a book and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea.

For solo travellers, a day at sea provides the perfect balance of social opportunities and time to yourself. There is no set schedule, so you can spend the day exactly as you wish while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and exceptional onboard experiences of Explora Journeys.

As evening arrives, enjoy dinner and perhaps a cocktail before taking in the entertainment and looking forward to your next Caribbean destination.

Arrive in Miami this morning and disembark your cruise between 09:15 and 10:30. Make the short journey to Sole Miami, A Noble House Resort, where you’ll spend the next three nights enjoying the famous Miami Beach area.

After checking in, begin discovering the colourful energy of Miami. Spend some time on the beach, relax by the pool or head into South Beach to see the pastel-coloured buildings and distinctive architecture of the Art Deco Historic District.

Discover Miami

Over your three nights, you’ll have plenty of time to experience the many different sides of Miami. Take a stroll along Ocean Drive, browse the designer boutiques of South Beach or enjoy the city’s fantastic restaurants and rooftop bars.

Head to Wynwood to see its spectacular street art and colourful murals, including the famous Wynwood Walls. For a completely different atmosphere, explore Little Havana, the cultural heart of Miami’s Cuban community. Sample a traditional cortadito, enjoy Cuban food and watch locals gather over dominoes and conversation.

If you’re looking for something more active, join a salsa class, take a boat trip around Biscayne Bay or explore the coastline by speedboat. You could also spend time simply enjoying the beautiful beaches and warm waters of Miami Beach.

For a change of scenery, consider a day trip to Everglades National Park. Explore this unique wetland ecosystem by airboat or on a guided wildlife excursion, with the chance to see alligators, birds and other native wildlife.
