We celebrate yesterday’s naming ceremony for Explora Journeys’ Explora II with a look at the ship’s upcoming cruises from Miami. From November 22, 2024 through April 5, 2025 Explora II will be making a series of departures from Miami to “explora” the Caribbean. The first 10 of these cruises are from 7 to 11 nights in length, culminating in a 20-night “Journey from Caribbean Charms to European Elegance” cruise that ends in Barcelona and includes the Easter holiday.

3 Day Cruises from Miami
No time for a long cruise? Never been on a cruise and not sure if it’s for you? Try a short three day cruise from Miami, Florida. Miami’s close proximity to Bahamas makes it possible for these short cruises to get you to a tropical destination (or two or three!) in just a few days. Most of the short cruises have Friday departures, which are great for making the most of your weekend.
Short cruises are a great way to fit a vacation into a busy schedule, and a great way for first time cruisers to see what cruising is like and to try out all the cruise ship fun and amenities.
Three days or three nights? The terminology used for cruise lengths can be confusing. What most people think of as a 3 day cruise is better described as a 3-night cruise. You’ll spend three nights aboard the ship and have two days at destinations. The amount of time you’ll spend on the ship on the first and last days of the cruise depend on the ship’s departure and arrival times. Cruises to the Bahamas usually depart Miami in the late afternoon and arrive back in Miami in the early morning.
