Destination
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Stingray City and Seven Mile Beach — one of the Caribbean's most consistently loved cruise ports.
Why We Love It
Stingray City is the reason most people book a Grand Cayman excursion, and it earns the reputation — standing waist-deep in a sandbar while wild stingrays glide around you, close enough to touch, is genuinely unlike anything else in a typical cruise itinerary.
It's a tender port, which means the ship anchors offshore and small boats ferry passengers in — worth knowing ahead of time so you don't lose excursion time to the transfer.
Highlights
