All of the sailings here are fly-cruise, all-inclusive packages sailing throughout 2028, with embarkation ports across Florida, Barbados and beyond. The majority are round-trip voyages, though 27 sailings are one-way — if you are looking at a one-way itinerary, bear in mind you will need a flight home, and we can arrange that alongside the rest of your holiday. Cruise lengths run from 5 nights to longer grand voyages, with a median of 11 nights — long enough to feel the rhythm of the islands without rushing.
Booking this far ahead gives you the widest choice of ships, cabin grades and sailing dates — and the pick of the best fare inclusions before popular departures fill up. The lines sailing the Caribbean in 2028 include Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Azamara — a range that covers everything from contemporary to ultra-luxury. Pricing starts at £1,367 pp*, and a good number of sailings carry a reduction from their previously listed price, with discounts of up to 17% on a small number of departures; most reduced sailings are closer to 4% off. That makes early research worthwhile.
If you want to compare other 2028 options, the broader 2028 cruises hub is a good place to start, and you can also browse all inclusive Caribbean cruises across multiple years.
The Caribbean is where the bulk of 2028 all inclusive fly-cruise sailings are concentrated, and for good reason. The region offers an enormous variety of islands, each with its own character — from the lush interior of larger islands to the compact, walkable towns of smaller ones. Round-trip itineraries are the most common format, meaning you fly out, board, sail, and return to the same port at the end — no luggage transfers or onward logistics to plan.
Florida is the dominant embarkation hub. Miami is the single most popular departure point, and it pairs well with a pre-cruise night in the city before you board. Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is roughly half an hour from Miami, so if you are flexible on embarkation port, it is worth checking both — dates and prices can differ meaningfully. Port Canaveral, Florida is the third major Florida gateway. Tampa, Florida rounds out the Florida options for those who prefer the Gulf Coast side of the state.
Sailings from Barbados are a strong alternative if you would rather start your Caribbean cruise already in the islands. New York also features as a departure point, typically on longer itineraries that incorporate the East Coast USA before heading south.
The Western Caribbean itineraries tend to call at ports across Mexico and the western island chain. These routes suit travellers who want a mix of ruins, reef and beach — though the specific ports depend on the sailing you choose. Most Western Caribbean itineraries depart from Florida, making them straightforward to combine with a few nights in Miami or Fort Lauderdale either side.
The Southern Caribbean sailings reach further into the island chain, often departing from Barbados and calling at a different set of islands to the Florida-based routes. These itineraries tend to run slightly longer and feel more remote — a good choice if you want to get further from the well-trodden western routes.
Beyond the Caribbean proper, a handful of sailings extend into South America, with Rio de Janeiro, Brazil among the ports used. Central America features on a small number of itineraries too. For those considering a transatlantic crossing in 2028, there are repositioning sailings that link the Caribbean to other regions — transatlantic crossings appear in the mix for travellers who want something genuinely grand. One world cruise in 2028 also sails within this set, for those with time and ambition on their side.
Celebrity Cruises leads in terms of sailing count, followed closely by Norwegian Cruise Line and MSC Cruises. Regent Seven Seas and Azamara complete the main line-up, alongside a curated selection of Cruise1st Packages that bundle flights, hotels and transfers into a single holiday price.
The choice of line matters as much as the itinerary. Celebrity and Norwegian lean toward a contemporary premium experience with a wide range of fare tiers; Regent Seven Seas is fully inclusive luxury; Azamara specialises in longer port stays on a smaller ship. Each is described in more detail in the ships section below.
If you are particularly focused on one line, you can explore Celebrity Cruises 2028 sailings, Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 cruises or fly 2028 cruises with MSC Cruises in more detail.
MSC Seashore is one of the most visually striking ships in the MSC fleet, designed to blur the line between ship and sea. The 13,000 m² of outdoor space includes a glass-floored bridge 22 metres above the waterline and glass-bottomed promenades along both sides of the hull — you are looking down at the ocean while you walk. Up on Deck 18, the Pirates Cove Aquapark connects directly to the Long Island Pool, with a 360-degree fountain island, a zip line and the MSC Formula Racer simulator adding to the action. The ship-wide New York theme runs from a Times Square-style area with an 8.5-metre LED wall through to the Danza del Mare Venini glass sculpture, which rises four decks through the atrium.
MSC Seashore offers a wide range of accommodation, from practical inside cabins to one of the largest suites afloat. The full MSC Seashore cabins and deck plans are available to help you compare options.
MSC Poesia has a personality that sets it apart from the larger, newer MSC ships. An atrium waterfall and a Zen garden give the ship a quieter, more considered atmosphere that guests tend to respond to warmly. From April 2026, the MSC Yacht Club on Poesia was expanded — it now delivers full butler service, private dining and an exclusive sundeck for suite guests. Elsewhere on board, the Butcher’s Cut steakhouse and Kaito Sushi Bar anchor the speciality dining offering, while the Aurea Spa features a salt grotto and Kneipp therapy pool for genuine relaxation. Browse the MSC Poesia cabins and deck plans to see which grade suits your party.
Norwegian Viva is a Prima-class ship, and it brings two signature thrills that no other NCL vessel can match: The Rush and The Drop, the fastest free-fall dry slides at sea. Beyond the adrenaline, the 360° Ocean Boulevard wraps the ship with an infinity pool that keeps guests connected to the horizon from almost every angle. For those who want to step up, The Haven is NCL’s ship-within-a-ship suite complex — 24-hour butler service, private dining and a three-bedroom suite designed by Piero Lissoni. It is genuinely self-contained luxury in the middle of a busy contemporary ship. See the Norwegian Viva cabins and deck plans for the full picture.
Seven Seas Grandeur sails for Regent Seven Seas Cruises and represents the line’s fully inclusive luxury model — shore excursions, drinks, speciality dining, Wi-Fi and gratuities are all part of the fare, so you know exactly what you are spending before you board. The ship is positioned around generous space per guest, and the headline cabin on board is the Regent Suite, which covers 352.7 m² of living space plus a 120 m² private terrace — more outdoor space than many shore-side apartments. For those considering a suite, the Seven Seas Grandeur cabins and deck plans show the full range.
Celebrity Apex is part of Celebrity’s Edge-class fleet, a series of ships built around the Magic Carpet — a cantilevered floating venue that rises and descends between decks, serving as a bar, a restaurant and an embarkation platform depending on where it sits. The ship’s design places an emphasis on connecting guests to the sea: the Infinite Veranda cabins on Edge class fold away the wall between cabin and balcony, effectively extending the room. See the Celebrity Apex cabins and deck plans for cabin grade detail.
Editor’s note: Our ship records for Celebrity Apex include a reference to the Magic Carpet venue — this is a permanent structural feature of the Edge-class ships, not a limited-run programme, so it is described here as it stands.
Celebrity Summit is a Millennium-class ship that has been through Celebrity’s Revolution refurbishment programme, and it carries a range of onboard experiences that give it genuine character. The 54 Below venue hosts stage productions, while the Scratch DJ Academy — created in partnership with Run DMC — offers something genuinely different from any other ship at sea. The Qsine restaurant, with a menu conceived by James Beard Award–associated chef, brings a playful, interactive approach to dining. The ship’s stage shows are award-winning, and the overall atmosphere is more intimate than Celebrity’s newer, larger vessels.
Celebrity Summit cabin grades run from compact inside options to one of the most generously sized suites in the fleet. Full details are on the Celebrity Summit cabins and deck plans page.
Azamara Quest is a smaller ship, and that size is the point. It can call at boutique ports — including St Barts and Guadeloupe — that larger vessels simply cannot access. Beyond the itinerary access, Azamara builds overnight and late-night port stays into their schedules as standard, so you can experience destinations in the evening and early morning rather than being back on board by late afternoon. The line’s AzAmazing Evenings are complimentary exclusive cultural experiences ashore — think private symphony concerts or intimate local dinners, arranged by the ship for its guests. For cabin options, see the Azamara Quest cabins and deck plans.
Celebrity Cruises offers 3 distinct fare tiers on their 2028 Caribbean sailings:
Norwegian Cruise Line also structures its fares in tiers:
Fare tiers such as these — and promotional offers that appear alongside them — can change, so it is always worth speaking to one of our advisers to confirm what is current on the specific sailing you are considering. Promotions such as BOGO fares and last-minute offers do appear from time to time on Caribbean sailings.
A significant portion of the sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade. Discounts reach up to 17% on a small number of departures, though that headline figure applies to 3 sailings; the typical reduction across reduced sailings is closer to 4%. If you are comparing prices across dates and lines, our advisers can help you identify where the better reductions currently sit — and whether a promoted fare tier delivers more value than a headline discount.
Sailings run throughout 2028, which gives genuine flexibility. The Caribbean is a year-round destination and the all inclusive fly-cruise format means you are not tied to school holidays in the way a European no-fly sailing might be. Short breaks of around 5 nights suit those who want a first taste of the Caribbean without committing to a longer voyage; 10 to 14 nights gives enough time to reach the Southern Caribbean or to spend meaningful time across multiple island groups. The grand voyages in this set — up to 178 nights — are a different proposition entirely, suited to those treating 2028 as a year of extended travel. If you are considering a world cruise that touches the Caribbean, world cruises 2028 and world cruises 2028 from Southampton both give a broader view of what is sailing.
Every sailing here requires a flight — embarkation ports include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, Barbados, New York and Tampa, none of which are reachable from the UK without one. That is where Cruise1st earns its place. Rather than booking the cruise through us and then arranging flights, hotels and transfers separately, our team can build the whole holiday — flights from your nearest UK airport, a hotel the night before you board if you want one, transfers between airport and port, and any tours or shore excursions you would like to plan ahead. It all sits on one booking, with one contact if anything needs adjusting.
That is what a Cruise1st Package delivers: cruise, flight, hotel and transfers as a single, coordinated holiday rather than a collection of separate bookings. You can also browse our broader range of fly cruises and all inclusive cruises if you want to compare other options before deciding.
We are ABTA and ATOL protected, and rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews — so you can book with confidence that your money and your holiday are looked after.
