"This cruise was an awesome experience! It rained and we still had the best time out on the paddle boards, at the sandbar and diving off the boat! The staff was super friendly and were available to me swap stories and let us enjoy our own time when we wanted to. Would absolutely book again! A great experience our family will remember for a long time to come!"

"I have taken several different types of cruises with Happy Cruises and cannot recommend it more highly!!! Whether you're looking for a romantic evening for two, some quality time with the family or a fun-filled day with friends, Captain Derek creates the perfect setting for you. A comfortable and beautiful boat, the peace and awesomeness of the ocean and the warmth and friendliness experienced on board all add up to a truly memorable 5-star experience!!"

Catherine P

"We had an amazing time on Biscayne Bay with Captain Derek and Miami Happy Cruises, and I wanted to share. We went on with 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 8, 4, 3), and we had a great day. The boat is nice and clean, there is space on the front to sit, or covered in the back, or inside in air conditioning if you need to escape the heat. Captain Derek is an extremely nice guy, and the kids loved him! We went out to the sandbar, and got to relax in the water for a little while. There were some snacks and drinks provided for us, and coolers for anything else that we brought to eat or drink. Overall a great day on the water, and really reasonably priced compared to others. Can’t wait to go again!"

"Capt Derek is accommodating and amazing. He really does his best to personalize the experience. Afternoon excursion was perfect. The boat is very clean and spacious."

A Few Words​

About the captain.

I’m Captain Derek and I came to Miami over 30 years ago from the Caribbean island of Trinidad to go to college. I fell in love with Miami and its people and made it my home. As a result I have explored the amazing waters of  Biscayne Bay , The Keys and surrounding areas. Above all we take pride in offering you personalized yacht charters in Miami.

It has always been my dream to share the joy I get cruising these wonderful waters with others. Finally a few years ago I pursued that dream by becoming a captain and acquiring the yacht “Happy Ours”. I hope I can have you aboard to share your favorite time of day and get to know your story.

Miami Yacht Charters

The gateway to Biscayne Bay, the Intracoastal waterway, Haulover Sandbar, and the surrounding ocean, Miami is a superyacht charter destination abounding in options. Influenced by both Latin and North American cultures, the Magic City itself is populated by a variety of luxury resorts and world-renowned restaurants, making it an ideal cruising ground for the discerning traveler.

Luxury yacht charters in Miami Graced with perhaps the most iconic skyline in the world, those cruising along the coastline of Miami are afforded exceptional views of the towering skyscrapers and modern architecture which lines this part of the Sunshine State. Of course, there’s also no better place to take in the burnt orange sunsets than from the comfort of a superyacht’s sundeck or sky lounge. The marinas of Miami are all well-positioned, making it easy for charter guests to access all the attractions of the city with ease when they decide to step on land. For larger superyachts, the Island Gardens Deep Harbour over at Watson Island is the first deep-water marina of its capacity in the Western Hemisphere, a fact which makes it possible for every kind of yacht to visit the Magic City. The cruising grounds of Miami are also sheltered by the Intracoastal Waterway which means that they enjoy the perfect conditions for trying out all all manner of watersports equipment which may be available on board a luxury charter yacht. The waters of Miami are also home to a colorful assortment of marine life, allowing charter guests to spot dolphins playing in the surf and perhaps the occasional manatee, all from the comfort of a superyacht.

Miami yacht charter guide Whether guests decide to cruise along the Intracoastal waterway or hop around the nearby islands, Miami is warmed by the year-round sunshine of Florida making the waters perfect for both swimming and snorkeling. As one of the world’s most exciting and youthful yachting locations, Miami plays host to a number of annual yachting events. There’s Yachts Miami Beach, for example, as well as the Miami International Boat Show , and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show . These events are renowned featuring some of the largest displays of superyachts in the industry, often including the newest and the most iconic yachts for charter.

Miami yacht charter itinerary Ideal for both day charters as well as more extended vacations, the cruising grounds of Miami provide a seemingly inexhaustible list of options to charter guests. Indeed, with plenty to see and do around the mainland, as well as in the water itself, there's plenty of great reasons to spend as long as possible in this part of Florida. A typical itinerary would see charter guests embark at the exclusive Miami Beach Marina which is only a short transfer from the Miami International Airport. Making a passage for the Palm and Star Islands, a brief detour around Hibiscus will open up a world of outstanding views that are only accessible from the water. Hitting up the downtown area of Miami, charter guests will then be transported through a series of channels to the Port of Miami and Bayside. After spending some time familiarising themselves with the charms of the city, charter guests can set off through Brickell Key to Key Biscayne where their vacation will come to an end. Altogether, this series of destinations provides an exciting insight into the unique world of Miami.

Our client’s

private yacht cruise miami

I recently booked a yacht charter in Miami with Myke for Father’s Day. I am from Colorado which made the process quite difficult until, thankfully, we were in contact with Myke. Myke made the yacht rental process seamless! His communication is almost immediate. Both Myke and Luis are very professional. Myke took care of everything for our yacht rental and answered all our questions. The crew on the yacht was AMAZING! My family had the time of their lives. Anytime we are back in Miami looking to rent a yacht, Myke will be without a doubt who we book with.

private yacht cruise miami

This was my first time renting a boat in Miami and I’m sooo happy I found Myke to work with. I’ve heard so many terrible stories about yacht rental companies in Miami, especially after giving them a deposit for the yacht. I did a lot of research, and eventually found Myke. He was extremely helpful in every single aspect of my yacht charter (even getting me the dimensions of a table on the boat for a tablecloth I wanted to bring on), always responsive, and just very nice!!!! I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a yacht rental in Miami.

private yacht cruise miami

This company is phenomenal and made the process of booking a luxury yacht charter so easy. Vanessa helped me plan my 40 th  birthday celebration. It was a truly unforgettable experience.  I booked a 150’ yacht in The Bahamas. During my trip, we explored the Exumas. Each day was better than the day before!  My favorite part of the trip was swimming with the nurse sharks at Compass Cay. The captain and crew were also incredible. They were extremely professional and friendly. I never had a chance to even ask for anything, they were on top of everything!  I recommend using this company for your next yacht charter.

What’s the best Caribbean cruise for me?

Jul 15, 2024 • 9 min read

Whether you're a family of four or a solo adventure junkie, the Caribbean has a cruise for you. Walter Bibikow / Getty Images.

It feels like just about everyone is headed on a cruise ship, and for good reason. There’s a real appeal to embarking on a getaway where your travel plans are already sorted; you only have to unpack once and arrive each morning in an exciting port of call.

Plus, new ships are rolling out incredible bells and whistles that push the limits of fun at sea (think indoor skydiving, roller coasters, and go-karts). At the same time, the cruise industry has shifted towards sustainable efforts that have emerged as fundamental to modern cruising. 

Recent statistics from CLIA (the official Cruise Line International Association) show an increase of nearly two million passengers in 2023 (totaling 31.7 million) compared to pre-pandemic numbers in 2019.

And there’s no more popular cruising region than the Caribbean , where upwards of 37 cruise lines with 154 ships rove the idyllic paradise of islands. With so many options, sorting out which ship and itinerary fits you best can be confusing. 

Here’s a handy guide to help determine which cruises are best for you, along with tips and advice to ensure you’re setting yourself up for a smooth sail.

What Caribbean cruise is best for me?

Sailing for adventure.

Whether you're into ziplining through the rainforest, scuba diving one of the world’s largest coral reefs or swimming at the base of a waterfall, cruises throughout the Caribbean offer excellent opportunities for adventure.

Cruise ports known for high-octane activities include St-Martin (known for its superb scuba diving), Belize (cave-tubing and ziplining throughout rainforest treetops) and St Lucia (the Sapphire Falls Hike). 

Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises and Holland America have cruises that frequent these ports.

Best ships for families

Look for larger ships with kid-friendly pools, expansive kids' clubs and family-friendly entertainment. Royal Caribbean’s fleet features action-packed decks great for families with water slides, laser tag and mini golf. 

Disney Cruise Line’s fleet sails extensively throughout the Caribbean to ports that span from Cozumel , Mexico, to Willemstad , Curaçao. The line’s most common Caribbean offerings are shorter 3- and 4-night itineraries that are perfect for families looking for a short trip.

Cruise lines with private islands operate predominantly in the Bahamas , including Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line. These stops are great family destinations as they feature enclosed, private environments with kids' activities and the ease of charging everything to your sea pass card.  

Singles at sea

Cruises can be an excellent place for singles to mix and mingle. A standard cruise stateroom rate is usually calculated at a minimum two-adult rate. Singles wishing to book a standard stateroom are typically charged a single supplement fee ranging from 50% - 100% of their base fare. 

As the demand for single cruise accommodations grows, new ship builds include solo staterooms, both interior and with balconies. Look to Celebrity Cruises, Virgin Voyages, and Norwegian Cruise Lines for some of the best accommodations for solo travelers. 

Most relaxing getaways

The most relaxing cruises sailing through the Caribbean tend to be the smaller ships focusing on a more “resort at sea” vibe. The higher-end ships with all-inclusive rates offer the luxury of seamless vacations. Windstar, Seabourn and Viking are the best lines for a relaxing cruise.

On these ships you’ll find daily activities that swap dance parties and poolside games for fitness-oriented activities like yoga and strength training classes, lectures on upcoming ports and ample lounge chairs to soak up the sun by the pool.

From your first step onboard, all your food and drinks (except for certain vintage wines and spirits), activities and sometimes your port excursions are included in your rate. 

Itineraries like the Viking Ocean Cruises’ West Indies Explorer sail a 10-day itinerary roundtrip from San Juan, Puerto Rico, with stops that include Tortola, British Virgin Islands; St. Kitts, Saint Kitts & Nevis and Roseau, Dominica. Rates for Viking Ocean Cruises include one shore excursion per port.

Best parties at sea

As the classic notion of cruising sunsets – goodbye white glove service, shuffleboard, Baked Alaska – a new era of fun is afloat.

Large ships are built to maximize fun, whether you're hopping pool parties, dancing the night away at late-night discos or cheering your team at rousing sports bars. Special interest cruises are also an excellent option for the most immersive fun at sea, whether that’s a full ship charter rock concert like the Rock Legends Cruise , a trip dedicated to Golden Girls fans , or an LGBTQ+ charter like VACAYA . 

Favorite lines that feature an upbeat party vibe include Margaritaville at Sea (particularly on their new Islander), Virgin Voyages and Norwegian Cruise Line.

A quick getaway

You’ll find cruise lines are leaning into shorter itineraries that offer weekend getaways to nearby ports in the Caribbean. Most of these sailings are roundtrip from Florida’s top cruise ports: Miami , Fort Lauderdale and Orlando (Port Canaveral). These are often 3- and 4-night sailings featuring a stop in The Bahamas or Bermuda . 

The vibe onboard is often more upbeat and celebratory, as guests do their best to maximize their limited time at sea. 

A few favorite lines for this style of travel include Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean (who is launching Utopia of the Seas this summer as its first-ever large-scale ship that will exclusively sail short getaways) and Disney Cruise Line.

An extended journey through the Caribbean

Smaller cruise lines offer longer, extensive itineraries throughout the Caribbean; smaller ships can port far off the beaten path at more remote destinations. Itineraries like Seabourn’s “25-Day Captivating Antillean Treasures” sail to some of the lesser trafficked parts of the Caribbean including Marigot, St. Martin; Carambola Beach, Saint Kitts and Nevis; and Sopers Hole (Frenchmans Cay), BVI. Lines like Silversea, Windstar Cruises and Azamara are favorites that route to these idyllic destinations. 

When should I go on my cruise?

There are sailings throughout the Caribbean year-round, with high season running from November through April. This period is known for its optimal sailing conditions and weather. 

You’ll find cheaper sailings during the hurricane season, typically July through September, though you risk the chance of your trip being canceled or rerouted to avoid inclement weather. 

Holiday sailings (particularly during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve) are also excellent times to sail as cruise lines curate impressive decor and holiday-themed activities.

How do I know if my cruise line is operating sustainably? 

Conservation efforts have become a vital tenet of the future of cruising, with the industry gearing towards carbon-zero sailings by 2050 . Efforts underway include ship engines that run cleaner on alternative fuels, advanced wastewater systems that can better clean sewage water and exhaust gas cleaning systems to improve air quality at sea and in port. 

Friends of the Earth’s Cruise Ship Report Card is a great resource to assess a ship’s sustainability efforts. 

A few lines at the forefront of sustainable sailing include Ponant, Disney Cruise Line and Hurtigruten. Ponant recently became the first maritime cruise line to receive Green Globe certification, which recognizes the line’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.  The line has shifted away from heavy fuel oil and installed catalytic systems to reduce atmospheric emissions.

Disney Cruise Line aims to operate with carbon emissions at net zero by 2030, in part by shifting to alternative fuels like liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrotreated vegetable oil. 

Hurtigruten is currently developing a zero-emission propulsion ship, which is aiming to be unveiled by 2030. 

There are still a large number of travelers who oppose the notion of cruise ships for not only their impact on the environment, but on local economies as well. Groups like Friends of the Earth , CLIA and Oceana are excellent organizations devoted to regulating the cruise industry.

Need to know before you go

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when you’re booking a Caribbean cruise. 

Book in advance...

Cruise lines offer better rates further from your sailing date, often making sailings available to book more than a year out. The earlier you book, the better the selection of staterooms to choose from. 

Or take advantage of last minute deals

Cruise Plum is our go-to with a comprehensive overview of discounted inventories if you're angling for a last-minute getaway. 

Opt for third-party travel insurance for hurricane season protection

Travel insurance is the best way to ensure smooth sailings on your Caribbean cruise. Typical cruise insurance rates hover around 5 to 10% of your total trip cost. 

Don’t just opt into the cruise line’s designated insurance option; shop around on a platform like Squaremouth for the most value. 

Look for a plan specific to cruise travel, with coverage that includes compensation for delays, cancellations (particularly helpful during hurricane season), emergency medical, and the premium option of canceling for any reason (CFAR). 

Be hurricane-aware

Hurricane season in the Caribbean is typically July through September. The outlook for the 2024 season from NOAA’s (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) predicts an 85% chance of an above-normal season with the potential range of 8-13 hurricanes with winds of at least 74 mph. 

Cruise lines work expeditiously to avoid sailing into the path of any major tropical storm or hurricane, often rerouting or shortening itineraries as threats arise. Cruises rarely encounter major storms as they’re able to chart the course of the weather and route accordingly. 

In the event you encounter a major storm while at sea, head to the middle of the ship where you’ll feel the rolling of the ship less, take over-the-counter aids like Dramamine or Bonine and keep your eyes on the horizon for stability balance.

You don’t necessarily need a passport 

Passports are not required for closed-loop sailings that begin and end at a US port. All you need is a boarding pass, a government photo ID (if you’re 16 years or older) and a certified birth certificate or certificate of US naturalization. 

However, keep in mind that you might not be able to disembark the ship at certain ports (those ports include Barbados , Martinique and St-Barthélemy ).

Third-party excursions can be a better value play

If you want to stretch your dollar further, consider booking with local tour operators before arriving at each port. It’s important to note that third-party excursions are the best when they’re morning-only activities. 

The ship won’t wait for you if you’re late returning from a third-party excursion. For full-day excursions, consider the line’s offerings, as the ship will wait for you, and there’s nothing worse than missing the boat.

Pan Am Is Returning to the Skies With a 12-Day Transatlantic Journey

Image may contain Aircraft Airliner Airplane Transportation Vehicle Takeoff and Flight

For many, Pan American World Airways represents our collective nostalgia for the golden age of air travel, when jet-setters were transported around the world in sleek, spacious planes with stylish flight attendants and glamorous meal service.

Some may even go as far to say that the bygone era ended for good on December 4, 1991, when Pan Am’s final flight took off from Bridgetown, Barbados for Miami . A combination of factors had culminated in Pan Am filing for bankruptcy, marking the end of the iconic airline.

But for those looking to relive air travel's glory days, not all hope is lost. Next year, the beloved Pan Am brand will return to the skies with a private 12-day itinerary honoring its most memorable routes.

“Pan Am represents elegance and sophistication and our goal is to emphasize Pan Am’s rich history by combining a modern in-flight experience,” Craig Carter, CEO of Pan American World Airways and owner of Pan Am Brands , tells Condé Nast Traveler .

Dubbed “Tracing the Transatlantic,” the Pan Am commemorative journey will take off on a Boeing 757-200 from New York City on Friday, June 27, 2025, tracing the legendary southern and northern transatlantic routes the airline once flew. First, it will head to Bermuda , before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Lisbon . The flight will continue hopping through European cities, including Marseille, France; London ; and Foynes, Ireland , before returning to New York on July 9, 2025.

Operated by private aircraft touring company Bartelings and run by affinity group tour specialists Criterion Travel , the trip will be hosted by Carter, who also serves as the custodian of Pan Am’s legacy, bringing along his four decades of experience in the airline industry. Highlights from the itinerary include a night of fado in Lisbon, a Fourth of July celebration in London, and a dinner at Foynes’ Flying Boat Museum with the world’s only Boeing 314 Flying Boat replica.

Along the way, travelers will stay at some of the most exclusive hotels in each city: New York City’s Waldorf Astoria , Bermuda’s Rosewood Bermuda , Lisbon’s Four Seasons Hotel Ritz , London’s The Savoy, and Foynes’ Dromoland Castle Hotel & Country Estate .

Only 50 seats—each of them with lie-flat seating—will be available. Trips are priced at $59,950 per person based on double occupancy and $65,500 for solo travelers, and include all flights, accommodations, a branded swag bag, and most meals and beverages throughout the trip. Spots can be reserved with a $5,000 deposit through Criterion Travel .

The commemorative Pan Am flight will be hosted on a Boeing 757-200 plane with 50 lie-flat seats.

As modern air travel has morphed into more of a pragmatic form of transportation, Pan Am hopes to evoke “a time when travel itself was a glamorous experience, and when the journey was as important and special as the destination," according to its website.

Though the airline with its trademark blue globe logo hasn’t flown the skies for more than three decades, the brand made an indelible mark on the commercial aviation industry and cultural zeitgeist. For those of us who won't be able to partake in the exclusive transatlantic journey, an exhibit honors the legacy of Pan Am at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island's Garden City,

Carter says that in Asia, they’re already seeing a new generation of customers take to the Pan Am brand, with more than 14 stores in Seoul selling Pam Am merchandise.

“These new loyal customers along with our long-time Pan Am enthusiasts are wanting to engage in new experiences,” he adds. To meet that craving, the brand is also bringing back the Pan Am Experience , a former 747-200 themed restaurant, that is set to open to diners in early 2025 at a location near Los Angeles International Airport.

He also hints that more of Pan Am’s nostalgic routes may soon open up through special travel packages, especially to “destinations that are less commonly serviced."

With the 100th anniversary of the inaugural Pan Am flight—which took off on October 19, 1927—coming up, plans are also in motion to celebrate the historic anniversary with exclusive around-the-world travel packages, Carter says.

According to Linda Freire, a former Pan Am flight attendant and current chair of the Pan Am Museum Foundation, these commemorative Pan Am flights are “a testament to the strength of the brand and what the airline and its people stood for."

Cruise vs. all-inclusive resort: 3 questions to ask.

Find out the pros and cons of each and see which option is right for you.

Cruise vs. All-Inclusive Resort

Key Takeaways

  • If you don't want to fly, cruises set sail from many ports in the U.S., whereas most top all-inclusives require an international flight to the Caribbean or elsewhere.
  • To visit numerous places, a cruise may be best. To relax in one place, opt for an all-inclusive resort or a large ship with plenty of amenities.
  • There are many hidden costs on a cruise that will quickly add up, so an all-inclusive resort or even a luxury cruise with all-inclusive pricing can often be better for budgeting.

If you're trying to decide whether you should book a cruise or stay at an all-inclusive resort for your next vacation, there are a lot of factors to consider. Beyond selecting a destination – and deciding how far you're willing to travel to get there – you'll need to determine what type of experience you're looking for and what's included in the price of each option. After all, there's nothing worse than having a stress-free trip turn into sticker shock when you review the final bill.

There are many similarities between cruises and all-inclusive resorts. Both offer family-friendly and adults-only options. You'll have a selection of accommodations to choose from, several complimentary dining options and entertainment that's covered in the price. But there are also quite a few differences, especially when you're comparing a cruise line where you start with a base fare and then have to pay for all the extras – like beverage packages for nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks, specialty dining venues, Wi-Fi, excursions, and other amenities that may be covered at an all-inclusive resort.

To help you decide, U.S. News compiled a list of key questions to consider when deciding between a land- or sea-based vacation, along with suggestions for some cruise line and all-inclusive resort options. If staying within a set budget is a top priority, make sure you read the fine print before you book – whether you're setting sail on the high seas or relaxing poolside at a beachfront property.

Find your perfect cruise

Am I willing to fly to my destination?

The beautiful horizon from 30,000 ft

Before you find yourself sipping umbrella drinks with a good book in hand, you'll have to put in the work of traveling to your destination.

Visiting an all-inclusive resort in Mexico or the Caribbean will most likely require an international flight, but you may also need to hop on a plane to reach your chosen cruise ship terminal. If you don't want to travel too far from home, many ships sail from popular ports in Florida cities – including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and Port Canaveral (Orlando) – and travelers outside of the Sunshine State can find sailings out of ports in California, Texas, New York, Louisiana and other U.S. states. Depending on where you live, you may be able to save yourself a flight (and some money) by driving directly to your embarkation port.

You might be surprised to find that you can even book extended grand voyages and world cruises to travel around the world for months at a time from U.S. ports. Holland America Line 's 124-Day Grand World Voyage sails round-trip from Fort Lauderdale in January 2025 and includes ports of call in 32 countries. If you're considering a luxury cruise, Regent Seven Seas Cruises ' 154-day world cruise, called The Sense of Adventure, sets sail round-trip from Miami in January 2026 and visits 41 countries across six continents.

All-inclusive resorts

While most all-inclusive vacations will require an international trip, it is possible to book an all-inclusive resort – or a property with all-inclusive packages – without traveling too far from home. There are a number of all-inclusive options in the U.S. , including a couple all-inclusives in Florida . Consider Bungalows Key Largo , which caters to travelers 21 and older in the Florida Keys, or the family-friendly Sandpiper Bay Resort in Port St. Lucie. (Note: Sandpiper Bay has been undergoing major renovations and is expected to be fully operational by winter 2024-2025.)

Some properties across the U.S., including certain wellness retreats , also offer special packages to create your own all-inclusive experience. For example, health- and wellness-focused Miraval Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, has a deal that includes spa-inspired accommodations, meals, nightly resort credits, fitness classes, lectures, access to resort amenities and airport transfers.

Many dude ranches , such as White Stallion Ranch , which is also located in Tucson, offer add-on packages that make vacations nearly all-inclusive. White Stallion's Full American Plan Outdoor Adventure Package covers lodging, three meals a day, Wi-Fi access, evening entertainment, horseback riding, airport transfers and additional amenities with extended stays. If you're considering a land-based getaway, check out the available packages at resorts near you to weigh all of your options.

What do I want to do more: relax or explore?

Before you start planning your dream getaway, consider your fundamental objectives. How do you want to spend your vacation? Do you want to explore multiple destinations in one trip or fully unwind in one relaxing locale? Maybe you'd prefer to sit by a cruise ship's pool by day then dine and bar-hop at night, never once stepping foot in a port of call.

Cruises are a great option when you want to visit several locales in one vacation but aren't concerned with spending a lot of time in any one place. They're also perfect for getting an overview of a region, such as the Caribbean or the Mediterranean .

If you want to visit off-the-beaten-path destinations instead of busier, more popular ports, consider itineraries offered by cruise lines with smaller ships that can navigate narrower waterways than larger ocean liners. For example, Windstar Cruises' ships carry between 148 and 342 passengers. The line's small ships can visit small Greek islands, remote Tahitian villages, and off-the-beaten path destinations in Northern Europe, in addition to sailing the only navigable river in Spain, the Guadalquivir.

Still, for some cruisers, the ship itself is the destination. The details of the itinerary might not matter much if you plan to spend most of your time relaxing on board. Newer and larger ships , like Royal Caribbean International 's Icon of the Seas, offer seemingly endless dining and entertainment options. As the largest ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet, the vessel carries 5,610 passengers based on double occupancy (with a maximum capacity of 7,600). Icon of the Seas boasts eight themed neighborhoods, plus adrenaline-pumping activities like a 46-foot-tall waterslide at Thrill Island and mesmerizing shows performed at the line's largest ice arena, Absolute Zero.

If you wait to set sail until April 2025, you can book a voyage on MSC Cruises ' newest vessel, MSC World America. The line's futuristically designed megaship will have the capacity for as many as 6,764 passengers (5,228 double occupancy). It'll feature many bells and whistles, including the Cliffhanger, a thrilling over-water swing ride – and the only one of its kind at sea. The ship will also be home to the largest MSC Yacht Club in the fleet, offering exclusive venues, luxe accommodations and 24-hour butler service.

If a relaxing land-based experience sounds more your speed, an all-inclusive resort may be a better option. You can spend your time taking advantage of luxurious resort amenities and exploring the surrounding areas.

The Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, offers family-friendly accommodations and activities, as well as romantic oceanfront suites with plunge pools and spa bathrooms for couples. The resort also has an impressive selection of bars and internationally inspired restaurants, including Michelin-starred Cocina de Autor. During the day, sign up for therapeutic spa treatments for an additional fee or enjoy complimentary water activities like kayaking and snorkeling. The property also offers an eco-tour in the Mayan jungle, or you can explore ancient ruins in nearby Tulum on an off-property excursion.

What inclusions are most important to me?

Another variable to consider is the price you'll pay for a cruise or all-inclusive resort – and what exactly is covered. What do you absolutely need and what you can live without?

Cruise costs

Taking a cruise can be a great value , but it's important to note that inexpensive base fares aboard large, mainstream cruise lines can often be misleading. You'll likely have to add in additional costs for taxes, fees and port charges; gratuities; stateroom upgrades; specialty dining and beverage packages ; excursions; and Wi-Fi access. The total price of your voyage may end up much higher than you expected. You may also be surprised to find that services that were once complimentary may now cost extra. For example, Royal Caribbean International now charges a convenience fee, plus an 18% tip for room service, no matter the size of your order.

To avoid surprise extra fees throughout your trip, consider sailing with a luxury line like adults-only Viking . Although such cruises come at a higher price point, Viking fares cover all meals (including specialty dining venues), beer and wine with lunch and dinner, nonalcoholic beverages and bottled water, one shore excursion in each port, onboard Wi-Fi access, and more. Similarly, in one upfront fare, Silversea Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises prices typically include round-trip airfare, airport transfers, land packages before or after your voyage, complimentary shore excursions, specialty dining, premium alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, valet laundry service, prepaid gratuities, and other perks.

For a more thorough breakdown, consult our guide on how much a cruise costs and read about the top all-inclusive cruises .

All-inclusive resort costs

When it comes to all-inclusive resorts, be sure to research what is included in the nightly rate before you book. Couples-only Sandals Resorts properties in the Caribbean, for example, offer some of the most inclusive resort pricing setups available. Rates cover accommodations, gourmet dining at up to 16 restaurants, snacks, premium wines and liquors, stocked in-room bars, water sports, PADI-certified scuba diving (at most properties), entertainment, Wi-Fi access, gratuities, and airport transfers. Extra fees apply for spa treatments, local excursions and personalized events, like private dinners on the beach.

Other resort brands may not offer such an extensive list of included perks, so be sure to check with the specific property you are interested in. Some resorts even offer deals for kids to stay free .

If you want all the meals, beverages, entertainment, activities, Wi-Fi access and other amenities included in the price, then an all-inclusive option is your best choice. You'll know the cost at the beginning of the trip and won't have to worry about extras unless you splurge on spa treatments, celebratory bottles of fine wine or Champagne (not included in the fare), or personal expenses like souvenirs.

Cruise accommodations

Space is another issue to consider when deciding what you want included in your vacation. Cruise ship cabins can be tight, especially if you're traveling with another person or an entire family. The good news is that there are plenty of choices when it comes to stateroom sizes and configurations, depending on the cruise line and specific ship you choose. Cabins can be as compact as 100 square feet (in the case of Norwegian Epic 's Solo Studios for solo cruisers ) or as vast as 4,443 square feet (in Seven Seas Grandeur 's lavish two-bedroom Regent Suite).

If space is important to you, plan to budget for a larger cabin, or one with a veranda. The addition of a balcony offers extra seating, natural light and outdoor access that makes a small room feel much more spacious.

For even more space, consider splurging on a suite, which may also add valuable perks like complimentary spirits, in-suite afternoon tea, butler service and onboard credit. Some suites are designed with families in mind, such as the Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas . The two-story accommodation features an indoor slide, a private game and movie room, a hot tub, ocean views, and VIP experiences across the ship.

All-inclusive resort accommodations

Back on land, hotel rooms and suites at all-inclusive resorts will typically be more spacious than most cruise ship accommodations, meaning you'll have more square footage to spread out.

At the family-friendly all-inclusive Windjammer Landing in Castries, St. Lucia, accommodations run the gamut from 444-square-foot ocean view rooms for two to 1,385-square-foot, two-bedroom suites that can accommodate up to six people. The property also boasts a selection of luxury beachfront villas that measure up to 4,200 square feet.

Cruise entertainment and dining

Before choosing between a cruise or an all-inclusive resort, think about the entertainment and dining options offered by each. On large cruise lines like Norwegian Cruise Line , MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean, you can find infinite eateries, Vegas-style nightly entertainment and adults-only nightclubs that stay open into the wee hours of the morning. There are also fun-filled activities for younger travelers, like racetracks, laser tag, aqua parks, rock climbing walls and rope courses.

Not all these activities will be included in your fare, so you can choose to pay as you go or purchase packages that offer unlimited access to some attractions. Fitness classes, spa access and entry into adults-only lounge areas may also come with a fee, as can soft drinks and bottled water throughout the day (unless you have a beverage package).

Smaller, more intimate ships still offer plenty of fun – albeit with fewer crowds. Cruisers can choose from several dining venues, some of which change their menus daily. Smaller ships will also typically have a few bars or lounges that host entertainment for more mature, refined audiences (think: piano players or other live music in the evenings), plus theaters that feature a different show each night. Still, you might find fun-loving passengers on the dance floor late at night and DJs spinning karaoke tunes at lounges on the ship.

All-inclusive resort entertainment and dining

All-inclusive resorts typically offer a wide range of on-site dining venues, entertainment, activities and amenities as well. For example, the gated 7,000-acre Caso de Campo Resort & Villas in the Dominican Republic features three golf courses, an equestrian center, tennis courts, skeet and trap shooting, water sports, and more. Packages at the resort include accommodations, all meals and beverages, and access to most (or all) of these activities.

Resorts may also feature more unique amenities than cruise ships. For example, at Caso de Campo, guests can visit Altos de Chavón. Inspired by a 16th-century Mediterranean village, this impressive replica of a medieval hamlet is home to local artisans and boutiques. There's also an archaeological museum, the St. Stanislaus Church, a 5,000-seat amphitheater, and panoramic views of the Chavón River and the Caribbean Sea.

Once you've figured out your travel goals and have decided between a cruise or an all-inclusive resort, you can narrow down your options. Regardless of your selection, always verify what's included in the price. You don't want any surprises at the end of your dream vacation.

Outstanding Orlando Boat Tours (2024)

Orlando boat tours are a fantastic activity in Central Florida, no matter the type of boating adventure you choose.

Some of the suggestions below are full-day tours, and others take mere hours. But all are a great way to spend your time in order to enjoy the Sunshine State’s beautiful scenery. And that could mean a wild ride in the Everglades or sailing sunset cruises on one of the Orlando area's attractive lakes.

We are sharing the best Orlando boat tours – private and group options – including scenic pontoon boat tours, airboat rides, kayaking, canoeing, sunset sails, and even boat rentals at Walt Disney World.

  • Book a sunset sailing tour in Orlando . It's our favorite type of boat tour, and Florida sunsets often show off for an audience!
  • Pin the image in this box or flip this post to Flipboard to save it for later.
  • See what to bring for Orlando boat tours so you are prepared to deal with the Florida bugs!

Orlando Airboat Rides 

One of the things Florida is most known for is its famous airboat tours. Sign up for this fun adventure whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, within Everglades National Park, or Orlando on Shingle Creek, on the headwaters of the Florida Everglades. 

You won’t soon forget an exciting airboat ride when you visit the Orlando area, with a chance to see Bald Eagles and other endemic tropical birds, alligators, and crocodiles (maybe even a baby alligator). 

Airboat rides are particularly popular amongst nature lovers. These special boats allow you to glide on the unique marshes and swampland of the Central Florida area. We thoroughly enjoyed our Florida airboat experience. 

Sign up for a 90-minute fun and educational Orlando airboat tour to encounter the real Florida with experienced captains. Alternatively, secure your spot for a 1-hour sunset airboat tour and hope for one of Florida’s famous colorful sunsets. 

Most airboat tours take place rain or shine. Just in case, we recommend traveling to Florida with a poncho or thin raincoat of some sort. Be sure to check in for your tour at least 30 minutes before the experience. 

Orlando Boat Tour on an Airboat with Transportation

This tour includes pick up and drop off in Central Florida (including designated Disney World and Universal hotels), a BBQ lunch, a printed photo, and admission to their animal rescue Wildlife Park, where you can see birds, big cats, and reptiles. 

The entire experience – from transportation to the boat ride – lasts around 7 hours, including the drive to and from the Everglades area. The Florida Everglades are approximately 45 minutes to an hour's drive each way from Orlando. Choose from a 30-minute or 60-minute airboat ride when you book your experience . 

Orlando Sailing Tours 

How about enjoying Orlando’s lakes with wind power? Sailing tours are the perfect way to glide on the water. And a sunset sail is incredibly romantic, to boot! 

Private Morning Sail 

Set sail on a 2-hour private sailing tour, starting at 10:00 am. Adventure awaits on Lake Fairview for up to four guests. 

This area is just north of College Park near downtown Orlando and 15 minutes from Orlando’s Lieu Gardens. Don’t forget to bring towels if you want, though water is provided (and lakes are calm anyway, so you shouldn’t really get wet!).

Advanced reservations are required.

Private Lake Sunset Sail 

Sail on Lake Fairview, approximately 10 minutes from downtown Orlando, 30-35 minutes from the Disney theme parks (including the Disney Springs area), and 25 minutes from Universal. 

This 2-hour private Orlando boat tour can fit up to four people, and they allow you to bring your own snacks and beverages onboard. We recommend bringing a bottle of wine or champagne! 

We recommend bringing along a wine tumbler set for your sailboat adventure! 

Kayaking Tours

Connect with nature from the comfort of a kayak and get in some exercise too. Orlando boat tour options for kayaking are plentiful. 

Kayak with Manatees

Head 45 minutes north of Orlando for your chance to kayak with manatees! These cute and friendly mammals are famous in the Sunshine State, where they come to enjoy the warm water for the winter. 

Whether you’re a novice kayaking trying it for the first time, or an experienced pro, this tour is for you if you want to see a plethora of wildlife. 

Check out this popular tour with 5-star reviews

Glass Bottom Boat Kayak Tours

If you want to see the fish below the water’s surface without snorkeling, sign up for a glass-bottom kayak tour. See through the bottom of the boat on this Orlando boat tour and have the chance to view the colorful fish and marine plant life beneath you. 

Try a Rock Springs guided kayak eco-tour as you glide on the crystal-clear water for two hours. You’ll learn about the local ecosystem, stop for photos, and have the opportunity to swim in the springs. Opt to jump into the water from a rope swing for a thrill during this adventure. 

You can also opt for a sunset tour in a glass-bottom kayak . Paddle through the Winter Park Chain of Lakes and canals in a peaceful setting. Your knowledgeable guide will point out interesting nature homes along the way and share some history of the area. You’ll also be able to stop for photos where you like! 

This tour is likely to sell out: Reserve Now

Winter Park Evening Clear Kayak Glow in the Dark Tour

If you want to add a fun element to your kayaking adventure, sign up for a Winter Park kayak tour at night with a glow-in-the-dark kayak. The boats are illuminated with nighttime lighting!

They will surely be a good photo opp and fun outing as the lights make the water beneath you glow. 

Another great option is this Neon Night Glow Paddleboard or Clear Kayak experience on Lake Ivanhoe.

This unique boat tour allows you to see Orlando’s skyline at night as you paddle along with the help of your guides, the moonlight, and the colorful lights beneath your kayak or paddleboard.  

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour

One of our favorite Orlando boat tours is in Winter Park. It was established in the 1930s, decades before Walt Disney World opened in Lake Buena Vista.

This pontoon boat tour starts near the well-known Park Avenue area. Set out on your scenic cruise from Lake Osceola to the Winter Park Chain of Lakes as your guide takes you through the manmade canals.

Sail past stunning homes in Winter Park, where you will have breathtaking views of the opulent private homes in the area (which is one of the reasons we enjoy the boat tour).

You will have a chance to see wonderful some of Florida’s beautiful birds, like Blue Herons and large cranes, as you travel on several lakes. 

Each boat holds a maximum of 18 passengers. Be sure to bring cash or a check to buy your tickets because credit cards are not accepted. We advise purchasing tickets in the morning on weekends, even if you plan on going later in the day. It’s a very popular tour, and tickets often sell out quickly. 

Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour is closed on Christmas Day. Otherwise, tours leave daily on the hour, starting at 10:00 am. The last tour is at 4:00 pm. 

Day Trip Boat Tours from Orlando

While the Orlando boat tours listed above are within 30 minutes, on average, from Orlando, it’s worth mentioning there are more boat tour options nearby within a 2-hour drive. Here are some additional Central Florida boat tour options. 

Mount Dora Lake Tours

One of our favorite destinations from Central Florida is 45 minutes north: the quaint town of Mount Dora . There’s so much to see and do there in the afternoon or morning; a boat tour is the best way to extend your trip to a whole day. 

Take a 2-hour pontoon boat tour with a departure point at the historic hotel, the Lakeside Inn. Enjoy your leisurely cruise around Lake Dora and The Harris Chain of Lakes, including the famed Dora Canal.

The all-weather 25’ boats can cruise rain or shine thanks to their retractable clear covers for the sides of the boat. Choose from one of two daytime tours, or their third option to cruise during sunset. 

Clearwater Beach with Dolphin Encounter Cruise

This 12-hour full-day tour begins with pick-up at 7:30 am. You’ll head west of Orlando to the popular Florida destination (Clearwater Beach), where you will take a cruise to encounter bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat. 

While this means that you aren’t guaranteed to spot dolphins, your tour guide will do his or her very best to find them. You may see these beautiful mammals up close by the boat or further in the distance if they appear in the ocean. Part of the fun is the anticipation. 

A one-hour dolphin tour boat ride is sandwiched between hours of free time on a Gulf Coast beach. For only $10 more, you can purchase a wristband for the boat ride that allows you to have unlimited beer, wine, and vodka punch. 

Pickup and drop off are included at one of three major locations of your choice (Disney areas included). This means that all you have to do is sign up for the tour and be at that location for pick-up time. 

Choose from the three pick-up locations listed below:

  • Walt Disney World area, on Epcot Resorts Blvd. (northern area of the parks) 
  • Walt Disney World area, at Maingate Lakeside Resort in Kissimmee (area of the Disney World theme parks that is further south) 
  • International Drive (close to Universal) at Senor Frogs

Clear Canoe Boat Tour Near Orlando at Silver Springs

This clear canoe boat tour is approximately halfway between Orlando and Gainesville at Silver Springs. The drive is approximately an hour and 45 minutes from downtown Orlando. 

You’ll do a self-guided tour after the kayak company representative meets you and gives you a laminated map and some brief instructions. Paddle near Cypress Trees and see turtles, ducks, birds, and a chance to see manatees during the winter season, when they swim to Florida’s warm waters.

Dan and I often like to explore an area freely, on our own. Maybe you’re the same way! If so, this is a great tour for you in the Orlando area, as long as you can rent a car to get to the meeting point or take a taxi/Uber or Lyft there. 

Orlando Boat Tours at Walt Disney World

Did you know that you can rent motorized boats at Disney World? It’s one of the best things to do at Walt Disney World, besides the parks. 

Rent a Sun Tracker® Pontoon boat by the half-hour for up to 10 people. You can also opt to kayak or canoe from Fort Wilderness by the hour. 

One of the most singular boat tours in Orlando, or perhaps anywhere, is an Amphicar boat tour. Be a passenger and the envy of all onlookers in a cool convertible car that drives right into the water. This experience is available at Disney Springs restaurant, The Boathouse.

Lastly, you can book a specialty cruise to see the fireworks. You don’t even have to be a hotel guest to do so! Snacks and soft drinks are included in a memorable cruise on a 25’ boat. 

You can also request ​​for a festive banner and/or balloons to be set up on the boat, which is included in the cost (request at the time of booking). It’s a great thing to do for you and your partner or up to 10 guests total, whether a proposal, anniversary treat, or family reunion. 

What to Bring for Orlando Boat Tours

Florida's heat can be brutal, depending on the time of year. No matter the month, you definitely need to protect your skin from the sun. The sun in FL is strong, year-round. 

Be sure to pack the following if you’ll be on the water in sunny Florida: 

  • Refillable water bottle (the ice will stay intact for hours in the MiiR bottle, our favorite insulated wide-mouth bottle) 
  • Reef-safe sunscreen
  • SPF lip balm
  • Eco-friendly bathing suit 
  • Rash guard 

Conclusion for Best Orlando Boat Tours

Whether you want to captain a boat yourself, row your way through Florida’s waters in a kayak, see gators on an educational airboat ride, or go on a romantic sailboat cruise around one of Central Florida’s lakes, an Orlando boat is a wonderful Florida activity. 

It will connect you with nature, get you out in fresh air, and allow your body to absorb vitamin D in the Florida sunshine. Sign up for an Orlando boat tour and explore this southern state in a unique and adventurous way.
