Day 1 – Welcome to Florida!

Fly from Omaha to sunny Fort Lauderdale and settle in for a relaxing pre-cruise evening. Tonight, join your fellow travelers for a hosted welcome dinner, the perfect chance to get acquainted before we embark on our Caribbean adventure. Rest easy knowing that every detail is taken care of, from your flights to tomorrow’s private transfer to the ship. (D)

Day 2 - Board the Ship

Wake up in the “Yachting Capital of the World,” where 300 miles of picturesque waterways wind past luxury homes, tropical foliage, and an endless array of boats and yachts. Known as the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale offers a vibrant blend of shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. Enjoy some time to explore before we take our private transfer to the cruise terminal and board the stunning Star Princess. Settle into your stateroom, take a stroll through the glass-enclosed Piazza, and watch the ship set sail into the sunset. (B,D)

Day 3 - Sea Day

Enjoy a full day at sea aboard the elegant Star Princess — a ship designed with light-filled spaces, sweeping ocean views, and comfort at every turn. Start slow with breakfast overlooking the water or coffee delivered to your private balcony. Spend time beneath the ship’s stunning glass-enclosed Dome, unwind at the Lotus Spa®, attend a wine tasting, or simply settle into a quiet corner with a good book. With 30+ restaurants, bars, and lounges, dining aboard Star Princess is an experience in itself — from relaxed poolside bites and international cafés to elegant specialty restaurants featuring Italian, steakhouse, sushi, and more. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail at Bellini’s, enjoying panoramic ocean views from the SeaView Bar, or lingering over dinner with new friends, every meal feels thoughtfully curated. By evening, gather for a beautifully prepared dinner and live entertainment — perhaps a Broadway-style show or music under the stars. A day at sea reminds us that rest isn’t a pause in the journey… it’s part of the luxury. (B,L,D)

Day 4 – Grand Turk

This morning, you’ll wake to the soft pastel hues of the Caribbean and arrive in the quietly stunning island of Grand Turk. Miles of uncrowded, powdery beaches stretch along the shoreline. You can wander barefoot with hardly another soul in sight, or settle into a shaded chair and simply listen to the waves. But what truly makes Grand Turk extraordinary lies beneath the surface. This island is world-famous for its vibrant coral reefs — healthy, colorful ecosystems that begin almost at the shoreline. Snorkelers and divers from around the world travel here for these crystal-clear waters, where tropical fish shimmer in every shade imaginable. (B. L, D) 

Day 5 - Amber Cove, DR

Amber Cove, named for the luminous gemstone once found along its shores, welcomes you with golden sunshine and vibrant island charm. Just seven miles from Puerto Plata, a cinematic town famously used as a backdrop for Jurassic Park. Spend your morning unwinding at the sparkling beach just steps from the dock, perhaps in the comfort of a private bungalow, or venture out on a luxury catamaran for snorkeling in crystal-clear Caribbean waters. History lovers can explore the 450-year-old San Felipe Fortress, while thrill-seekers may choose to zip through the treetops or ride a cable car 2,500 feet up Mount Isabel de Torres. However you spend your time here, Amber Cove leaves you glowing. (B,L,D)

Day 6 - Sea Day

Today is another beautiful opportunity to savor life at sea. Onboard, there’s space for both energy and ease. Star Princess isn’t just where you stay, it’s part of the journey. (B,L,D)

Day 7 - Celebration Key

On the south side of Grand Bahama Island, Amber Key welcomes you to Celebration Key — a vibrant seaside escape thoughtfully designed with five unique “portals,” including a serene adults-only area for those craving quiet relaxation. Amber Key offers the perfect balance of fun and freedom — leaving you sun-kissed, satisfied, and completely at ease. (B,L,D)

Day 8 - Sea Day

With an atmosphere of comfortable elegance, tantalizing dining options and dazzling entertainment, your stay on board Grand Princess will be anything but ordinary. Enjoy Movies Under the Stars® poolside or dine on tantalizing cuisine at venues like Crown Grill and more. (B,L,D)

Day 9 - Return Home

Disembark the ship this morning, with private transfer to Ft. Lauderdale. You’ll have time to explore Los Alos Beach Boardwalk for lunch, shopping or one last walk on the beach. Then, it’s time to board your return flight home. (B)
