This twelve night journey combines time in Miami with an eight night Caribbean cruise on board Explora I. Begin with four nights on Miami Beach to settle in before joining Explora Journeys for a cruise that balances port days with time at sea, allowing you to make proper use of the ship and its facilities rather than rushing between destinations.
Start with four nights at Nobu Hotel Miami Beach, set directly on the beachfront. This stay gives you time to recover from the flight and enjoy Miami at an easy pace. Spend time on the beach or by the pool, walk South Beach, visit Wynwood’s art district or head into Little Havana for food and cafés. Your ocean view king room with balcony provides space to relax before the cruise begins.
Explora I is an all suite ship, with every guest staying in an ocean facing suite with a private terrace. Suites are designed for space and comfort, with separate seating areas and floor to ceiling windows, making them well suited to longer days at sea.
The ship features multiple outdoor pools, including adults focused areas and quieter decks, along with extensive open air space for walking, lounging and sea views. The thermal spa includes a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam rooms, while the fitness areas host daily wellness and movement sessions.
Dining is spread across nine restaurants, offering a mix of casual and refined options with no fixed dining times. Guests eat when they choose rather than working around a schedule. Lounges and bars are positioned throughout the ship, creating different spaces for daytime coffee, pre dinner drinks or late evening conversation.
An aft marina platform allows direct access to the sea when conditions permit, adding another way to enjoy time on the water during sea days.
Each stop offers a different type of day, with time to explore or keep things simple.
Progreso, Mexico
Gateway to Mérida and the Yucatán region, with options to visit historic towns or head inland to see Mayan sites such as Chichén Itzá.
Roatán, Honduras
Known for its coral reefs and calm waters, ideal for snorkelling, swimming or spending time on the beach.

It suits travellers who want structured game viewing with experienced guides, followed by a comfortable beach stay where everything is included.

Step straight from your villa into clear lagoon water, slide into the sea before breakfast and have every meal, activity and detail covered from the moment you arrive.
