Eastern Caribbean Cruise

Jun 29, 2025 to Jul 6, 2025
Miami > Eastern Caribbean
 

Celebrate the 4th of July at Sea!

 
Holidays on a cruise ship are double the fun! During a cruise that sails on Independence Day you can expect traditional American activities such as themed deck and pool parties, ice cream eating contest, patriotic parade contests, line dancing class, Independence Day bingo and trivia, themed Dive-In movies, and more! On the FUN SHIPS the fun is almost non-stop for those who want a full schedule and a quiet retreat for those looking to just relax and unwind. Consider a Cloud 9 Spa room to enjoy Spa benefits like access to the Thermal Suites (infrared heat room, steam room, and large hot tub spa), exclusive discounts on spa services, 2 complimentary fitness classes, and more!
