Yes! This is a hosted group trip with Travel Connex, so you’ll never feel like you’re going it alone. Many of our travellers come solo and leave with lifelong friends. We also offer roommate matching (same gender) if you’d prefer not to pay the single supplement.
Your cruise fare includes your accommodation, most meals, entertainment, and access to onboard facilities like pools, lounges, fitness centres, and theatre shows. You’ll also have daily housekeeping, themed nights, and activities galore! Drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions are optional extras.
Yes, a valid passport is a must for this international itinerary, and it should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. Visas aren’t usually needed for Australian or New Zealand passport holders on a cruise like this, but we always recommend checking the latest entry requirements for each port of call or chatting with your Travel Connex advisor for peace of mind.
Think resort casual, lightweight clothes, swimwear, a couple of dressier outfits for themed nights, and comfortable walking shoes for shore days. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and something for slightly cooler evenings on deck.
Absolutely! You’re free to disembark at each destination and explore at your own pace. You can either wander on your own or pre-book an MSC-organised shore experience (totally optional). Just make sure to keep an eye on the ship’s all-aboard time, she waits for no one!

December is one of the best times to visit the Caribbean, warm, tropical weather with average temps around 25–28°C. It’s also outside the hurricane season, making it a great time to cruise. Expect sunny days and balmy nights (perfect for deck cocktails!).
Most modern ships, including the MSC Divina, are very stable and you’ll hardly feel movement. However, if you’re concerned, we recommend bringing motion sickness bands or medication, just in case.
You’ll have several hours in each port, with plenty of time to explore at your own pace. Some stops, like Ocho Rios and Cozumel, offer full-day stays, while others like Aruba have shorter windows. You can book optional shore excursions or simply wander and soak up the local vibe.
