Carnival Firenze: 11-Night Journeys - Southern Caribbean

Miami cruise port, officially called PortMiami, is the busiest cruise port in the world by passenger volume. Millions of people pass through here every year, and nearly every major cruise line uses it as a home port.

Celebration Key is Carnival Cruise Line's private destination on the southern coast of Grand Bahama Island, about 100 miles east of Fort Lauderdale. It opened in July 2025 and represents Carnival's first fully owned private port.

Known as 'One Happy Island,' Aruba docks ships at the port in Oranjestad, just steps from the colorful Dutch colonial architecture and Royal Plaza Mall. Eagle Beach and Palm Beach offer powdery white sand, and the island sits outside the hurricane belt.

You've probably seen photos of Willemstad even if you don't realize it: that row of pastel-colored Dutch colonial buildings along the Handelskade is one of the most photographed waterfronts in the Caribbean. It's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

St. Thomas cruise port is one of the busiest stops on Eastern Caribbean itineraries and the hub of the US Virgin Islands cruise scene. The port handles two main cruise terminals.
