Where cruises from Miami actually go

Most cruises from Miami are short Bahamas trips of three to five nights or week-long Caribbean cruises, west to Mexico and Honduras or east to the Virgin Islands and St. Maarten. The Southern Caribbean and the Panama Canal take longer, and in winter and spring a few ships cross to Europe. The counts on each card come straight from the schedule.

Bahamas

Short trips, mostly three and four nights, with some of five and seven. Nearly every one calls at Nassau or at a line's own island: MSC's Ocean Cay, Carnival's Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay, Norwegian's Great Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay, or Bimini, where Virgin Voyages has its beach club. Some add a day in Key West.

Western Caribbean

Mostly seven-night round trips to Cozumel, Costa Maya and Roatan, often with Grand Cayman, Jamaica or Belize, and usually a Bahamas island day on the way home. The five and six-night versions tend to pair Grand Cayman or Jamaica with one stop in Mexico. MSC also sells a western and an eastern week back to back as one 14-night cruise.

Panama Canal

Round trips of ten to twelve nights that sail into the canal from the Caribbean side, with Cartagena, Colón and Puerto Limón, and longer one-way voyages that go all the way through it and up the Pacific coast to Los Angeles, San Diego or Seattle.
