Itineraries departing from San Juan will make stops throughout the Caribbean on various 7-day cruises between December 2023 and March 2024. Departures will begin from the Pan American Pier in Old San Juan. Prior to arriving in Puerto Rico, the ship was baptized by the Godfather of the ship, Luis Fonsi.[6]
