Secluded Isles & St. Barths

Modern luxury, the secluded Caribbean

Seven nights aboard Explora III — the newest of Explora Journeys' all-suite ships — tracing the quieter, more glamorous side of the Caribbean. From Miami, two unhurried days at sea give way to the Dutch-Caribbean buzz of St. Maarten, a long late day in yacht-lined Gustavia on St. Barths, the green volcanic calm of St. Kitts, and the national-park coves of St. John, before arriving beneath the ramparts of Old San Juan.

Miami to San Juan

A relaxed, island-rich week with the ship in port late — a full day and evening on St. Maarten, and St. Barths until 11 PM. Drinks, gratuities and Wi-Fi are part of the fare, so the days ashore and the evenings aboard flow without a bill in sight.
