The Virgin Voyages San Juan 2026 stop brings guests to one of the Caribbean’s most captivating destinations — and my home island.
For me, this port is personal. Amour Getaways is proudly based in Puerto Rico, and I take special care to help travelers experience San Juan through a local lens. Whether you’re drawn to colonial architecture, culinary exploration, or nature’s beauty, this island holds stories you’ll remember long after you sail away.
As the Brilliant Lady docks near the city’s historic heart, Old San Juan greets you with pastel buildings, cobblestone streets, and music that drifts through open plazas.
Walk through Castillo San Felipe del Morro, the 16th-century fortress guarding the bay, or visit La Fortaleza, the oldest executive mansion still in use in the Americas. Between stops, pop into art galleries, sip handcrafted mojitos, and enjoy views of the Caribbean from every corner.
Puerto Rican cuisine is an unforgettable fusion of Spanish, African, and Taino heritage. I always recommend starting with mofongo — mashed plantains filled with shrimp, chicken, or vegetables — paired with a local rum cocktail.
For fine dining, try Princesse Gastrobar overlooking the harbor or Marmalade Restaurant, known for its tasting menu that celebrates the island’s fresh ingredients. If you want a more local experience, my team can arrange private tastings, rum tours, or cooking workshops with local chefs.
Just an hour east of San Juan lies El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Hike to La Mina Falls, listen to coquí frogs at dusk, and breathe in the scent of wild orchids and rain-soaked leaves.
Amour Getaways can coordinate private or small-group excursions here, ensuring a serene and personalized experience — far from the crowded group tours.
When Virgin Voyages arrives in San Juan, the experience feels effortless. The ship docks close to Old San Juan, allowing you to step directly into the island’s culture without long transfers.
As a local travel professional, I partner with trusted guides, drivers, and artisans to ensure my guests enjoy genuine hospitality and curated activities that align with Virgin Voyages’ spirit of authenticity and freedom.
Morning: Tour the forts and historic plazas of Old San Juan.
Afternoon: Enjoy a private rum tasting or culinary experience arranged by Amour Getaways.
Evening: Return to the Brilliant Lady for a sunset sail past the city’s pastel skyline, where the lights of San Juan twinkle against the ocean.
This stop on the Virgin Voyages San Juan 2026 itinerary is more than another port — it’s a connection to the island I call home. Every guest who experiences Puerto Rico with me leaves feeling its rhythm, flavor, and soul.
