What happens when you merge one of the world's largest ships with the boldest thrills of the sea? An electrifying, gravity-defying, gravity-breaking expedition is created on Harmony of the Seas, setting a new standard for family vacations. From features never before seen on the high seas to favorites we all know and love, there are countless ways to create memories onboard: from the tallest slide at sea, the Ultimate Abyss, to deck-defying acrobatics in the AquaTheater, and the robot in the Bionic Bar. Not to mention dazzling Broadway performances and world-class dining experiences ranging from Asia to the Mediterranean and beyond.
Cape Canaveral, on Florida’s Space Coast, is a must-visit spot for anyone interested in space exploration and seaside life. Just an hour east of Orlando, this barrier island combines clean Atlantic beaches with one of the world’s most important spaceports. The vibe is relaxed and beachy, with the added buzz of rocket launches that regularly light up the sky.
The main highlight is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you can walk under towering Saturn V rockets, see real Space Shuttles, explore hands-on exhibits, and even meet veteran astronauts. If you can, plan your trip to coincide with a launch and feel the ground shake as a rocket lifts off from designated viewing areas – it’s an experience you won’t forget. It’s wise to book tickets in advance, especially in peak seasons or around big missions.
There’s plenty to enjoy beyond space as well. Long stretches of sandy beach are perfect for swimming, surfing, or an early-morning stroll, while nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is great for birdwatching, spotting manatees, and kayaking through mangrove-lined channels. Port Canaveral, one of the world’s busiest cruise ports, is a lively place for fresh seafood, waterfront pubs, and fishing trips.
Cape Canaveral is compact and easy to get around by car or bike, and its easy-going feel is a nice contrast to its cutting-edge space history. Stay in a beachfront hotel or holiday rental, tuck into local seafood, and spend your days switching between learning about humanity’s journey into space and unwinding by the sea. It’s a distinctive mix of science, nature, and classic Florida coastal charm.

Day 3
labadee, haiti
Arrival: 07:00
-
Departure: 16:00
Labadee (French: Labadie) is a port situated on the northern coast of Haiti within the arrondissement of Cap-Haïtien in the Nord department. It's a private resort leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., for the exclusive use of passengers of its three cruise lines: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises, until 2050.
Royal Caribbean has been the biggest contributor to Haiti's tourist revenue since 1986, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their goods on the premises for a fee and paying the Haitian government US $ 12 per tourist. The resort is entirely tourist-focused, and is guarded by a private security force. The site is fenced off from the surrounding area, and passengers are not permitted to leave the property. Food available to tourists is brought from the cruise ships. A controlled group of Haitian merchants are given exclusive rights to sell their merchandise and establish their businesses in the resort. Although sometimes described as an island in advertisements, it is actually a peninsula contiguous with the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship docks at the pier at Labadee capable of servicing the Oasis class ships, which was completed in late 2009. The commercial airport that is closest to Labadee is Cap-Haïtien International Airport.
Attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-based playground, an alpine coaster, and the largest zip-line over water.

Day 4
san juan, puerto rico
Arrival: 14:00
-
Departure: 22:00
San Juan, the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico, was officially founded in 1521, making it one of the oldest cities in all of the Americas. As a United States territory, San Juan is a fairly unique place to visit in the Caribbean: the capital offers all the comforts and amenities you’d expect from an American city, yet still manages to maintain a distinctly Latin atmosphere and culture.
The historic heart of the city, Old San Juan, is one of the oldest settlements in Puerto Rico and is full of colourful streets rich in historical and cultural significance. As you wander through Old San Juan, it’s hard not to be amazed by the five centuries of history that have been so beautifully preserved. One of Puerto Rico’s most famous landmarks, El Morro, is a 16th‑century fortress with impressive towers and tunnels. Nearby, San Juan Cemetery is one of the most scenic resting places you’re likely to see, set against dramatic coastal views.
Just outside the city, the lush and diverse El Yunque Rainforest offers a natural paradise of waterfalls, trails, and tropical wildlife. Puerto Rico is synonymous with brilliant beaches, and you’ll find plenty along San Juan’s coastline, where soft sand and palm trees await.
San Juan is a fantastic blend of beaches, history, vibrant culture, and buzzing nightlife. So, what are you waiting for?

Departure: 17:00
CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands, and is located approximately 88 kilometres north of Nassau. It is used exclusively for tourism by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruises' private island since 1977.
In 2019, the island underwent extensive renovations by Royal Caribbean at a cost of $250 million USD. A pier was built on the north side of the island, allowing cruise ships to dock directly instead of using tenders. The east end is the hub of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be observed. Nature trails span the entire length and breadth of the island. The renovation also included a water park, with North America’s largest water slide, Daredevil’s Peak.
