San Juan Homeport for Winter 2027–2028

Scarlet Lady will once again homeport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, giving access to longer Southern Caribbean routes that are not typically possible from Miami.

This allows for deeper Caribbean itineraries including Aruba, Curaçao, Barbados, Dominica, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarten, Tortola and more. The season begins with a 12 night repositioning voyage.
