Art Deco-influenced Hotel Chelsea is a boutique hotel in the Miami Beach neighbourhood of South Beach (SoBe), with its famous sands just a short walk away. In fact, the hotel’s Washington Avenue address places guests right at the heart of both in-land and beach attractions - making it a perfect base for action and adventure.
The iconic Ocean Drive promenade runs along South Beach and is full of beautiful art deco buildings, bars, and restaurants. Within a 10-minute drive you’ll also discover Flamingo Park with its pool, playground and sports area, the New World Symphony Concert Hall, plus the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach; so you’ll have a packed itinerary.
The 42 guest rooms boast either a king-size bed or two double beds, providing flexible and comfortable accommodation. The art deco theme is apparent throughout, from the small ornate touches to the tasteful furnishings. All beds are made of walnut, so you can sleep in complete elegance every night.
Enjoy 1950s Havana style and Cuban cuisine at the hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And soak up South Beach views from the patio as you relax with your favourite refreshing beverage. Guests can also head over to the resort’s sister property Chesterfield Hotel for daily Happy Hour where they will receive a free signature cocktail.
Room Type: Full Board cruise (All Inclusive available)
For a cruise that checks all the boxes - thrill, chill, and pure indulgence, Freedom of the Seas is your floating playground at sea. From sunrise to starlight, every moment is packed with family-friendly fun.
Be blown away by Broadway-style shows in the Royal Theater, amazed by icy acrobatics at Studio B, and vibe to live music across buzzing venues. And when night falls, grab a blanket and catch a blockbuster under the stars with an epic outdoor movie night.
For big-time thrills, catch a wave on the FlowRider surf simulator, scream your way down The Perfect Storm waterslides, or conquer the rock climbing wall. And for something more laid-back, swing into mini-golf or get strategic with laser tag.
When it’s time to relax, the Vitality Spa is your sanctuary, and the fully equipped fitness centre keeps your wellness game strong. And if you're travelling with kids or teens, they’ll have a blast in Adventure Ocean or chilling in their own exclusive teen spaces - giving you some well-earned me-time.
From elegant dinners to grab-and-go bites, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Indulge in multi-course meals in the Main Dining Room, explore global cuisines at Windjammer Café, or elevate your evening with a steak at Chops Grille or rustic Italian at Giovanni’s Table. For something quick, El Loco Fresh serves up zesty Mexican street food, and Sorrento’s delivers piping-hot pizza, New York style. Head to Izumi for fresh sushi or catch the game (and some wings) at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade.
Onboard Freedom of the Seas, there’s a space for every style and budget, from Interior Staterooms - some with Virtual Balconies - to Ocean View Staterooms for natural light, and Balcony Staterooms for your own outdoor space. And if you wish to upgrade, treat yourself to a spacious suite - for more room and more perks. However you cruise, there’s a space that feels just right.
As far as vacation destinations go, Miami tops most sun-seekers’ lists. With its gorgeous beaches, vibrant neighbourhoods and melting pot of cultures, the Magic City is the perfect place to spend a few days before you island hop. Ahead of your cruise from the Port of Miami, jump-start your morning in true Miami style with a Cuban cafecito from a ventanita — a street side shop window. Then climb the historic lighthouse at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on quiet Key Biscayne before lounging on the island’s secluded sandy shores. If you’re looking for a bit more action, head to South Beach — home to world-class restaurants, nightlife, shopping and lively beaches, all set against snap-worthy Art Deco buildings. Art lovers who visit Miami can head to Wynwood and explore the neighbourhood's colourful street murals and local galleries. Or take a trip back in time at the Renaissance-style Vizcaya estate, which offers a glimpse into Miami’s dazzling past. From showstopping seven day cruises from Miami to last-minute weekend adventures, spending a day in South Florida is the perfect way to begin your adventure.
Your ship departs promptly at 4:30 pm, so plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your holiday early.

Remark
Caribbean charm shines in the Bahamian capital, where you’re never more than a few steps away from rhythmic percussions, appetizing flavours, white-sand beaches, and some of the clearest waters in the world. This picture-perfect paradise was once a pirate’s haven— and you can explore its colourful past of buccaneers, blockade-runners and bootleggers along historical streets and at the three colonial fortresses that line the shores. If you’re looking for a more hands-on maritime adventure, look no further. Cruise to Nassau and swim with stingrays, dive with dolphins, or spot colourful coral on a glass-bottom boat. And just across the bridge is beautiful Paradise Island, home to world-famous luxury hotels and resorts. Spend the day at Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise Island with all-inclusive access to some of the best food, cocktails, beaches and pools in The Bahamas.
