Silver Shadow: 14-Night Cruise from San Juan - March 9, 2027

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. White Bay is the island's most famous beach, known for soft sand and shallow, crystal clear water.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Shadow means a quicker disembarkation in Codrington, Barbuda - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Barbuda's beaches are the main reason people fall in love with the island.

Your ship arrives in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Spain at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Explore the cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, historic churches, and boutique shops.

You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm - a solid full day ashore.

The balance of cultural experiences, coastal charm, and culinary delights makes Santa Cruz a captivating stop on any Canary Islands cruise.

As a smaller vessel, the Silver Shadow means a quicker disembarkation in Lisbon, Portugal - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Exploring the Alfama district offers a glimpse into Lisbon's medieval heart with narrow cobbled streets, colorful houses, and hidden courtyards.
