Visit:

  • Wynwood Walls Official Tour: Learn about the history of the Wynwood District and how it went from a run-down industrial district to a bold and lively arts scene.

Places to eat & drink in Miami

  • Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar: Start your day off with an espresso and a pasty. Located just across the street from the Esme, this is the perfect staging ground for your pre-cruise adventures.

  • The Drexel: Enjoy coastal Mediterranean fare at the Esme’s featured eatery.

  • The Roof. Finish the night at The Esme’s rooftop bar. Enjoy the beach views before tucking in for the night.
