Day 1-2: Miami
Arrive at Miami International Airport, where your private transfer will whisk you away to the InterContinental Miami, a contemporary spot in Downtown Miami. As the sun sinks behind skyscrapers, savour fine dining or enjoy pre-dinner cocktails overlooking Biscayne Bay. Stroll through the Wynwood Arts District's world-renowned murals and installations or unwind in the ocean breeze of South Beach.
On day two, board Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages’ new innovative flagship. Aboard, settle into your Sea Terrace cabin and enjoy a private sanctuary complete with Virgin’s signature red hammock.
Day 3-4: At Sea
Savour two days sailing in comfort. With over 20 dining venues curated by Michelin-starred chefs, indulge in culinary treats from plant-based cuisine to elevated Caribbean dishes. Spend mornings practising yoga on the deck, while evenings come alive with exclusive performances and shows. For a supplement, you can book in at the world-class spa, indulging in salt-stone massages or a hydrotherapy session designed to pamper.
Day 5: Philipsburg, Sint Maarten
Experience Philipsburg’s duality with a stroll through Dutch colonial architecture and the French Marigot, famed for its chic patisseries and waterfront markets. Round out the day at Orient Beach, unwinding beneath a parasol with a local cocktail of guavaberry rum.
Day 6: Tortola, British Virgin Islands
The largest of the British Virgin Islands is home to Smugglers Bay in Tortola, where white sands meet crystal-clear waters. Opt for a guided snorkelling tour to the reefs or venture inland to explore Sage Mountain National Park, the island’s highest peak. Conclude your day on Cane Garden Bay, enjoying fresh, grilled seafood accompanied by steel drums.
Day 7-8: At Sea
Two more days at sea offer new fitness classes, lounging poolside with a novel from the curated ship library, or the option to join a cocktail-making class for an additional fee.
Day 9: Bimini, Bahamas
Arrive next at Virgin Voyages’ exclusive Beach Club at Bimini. Plunge into crystalline waters, book a private cabana, or sip a poolside cocktail crafted by expert mixologists. For a touch of adventure, snorkelling tours to the Sapona Shipwreck offer an up-close view of underwater treasures and local marine life.
Day 10-13: Miami South Beach
As Brilliant Lady sails full circle to Miami, bid farewell to the Caribbean. Your private transfer takes you to Riu Plaza Miami Beach, a stylish resort set on the sands of South Beach.
On day 11, explore with a Biscayne Bay boat tour, gliding past Art Deco mansions, and a guided Segway tour across the city’s cultural landmarks. Evenings at your beachfront hotel provide a gateway to enjoy candlelit dinners with waves lapping nearby.
Conclude your journey with a morning at Lincoln Road boutiques before your private transfer ensures a seamless journey back to Miami Airport.
