Cruises from Tampa to Key West

Escape on a delightful Caribbean vacation on one of our cruises from Tampa to Key West. Choose a shorter voyage to the sunshine, with blissful days in both Key West and Grand Cayman. A longer cruise gives you the luxury of two overnights in steamy New Orleans, as well as visits to Honduras, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and the charmingly eccentric Key West.

During one of these unforgettable cruises, you’ll revel in warm tropical weather and heavenly beaches and discover a wealth of natural wonders both on land and underwater. Snorkel over reefs and shipwrecks that teem with marine life, or explore mysterious Mayan ruins. Embrace the local cuisine, from conch in Grand Cayman to rich gumbo in New Orleans and spicy tacos in Mexico. During days at sea, unwind by the sparkling pool on board, or indulge in a relaxing spa treatment.

Itineraries

Featured ports of call.

Stop in sunny Key West, a quirky city with a lively downtown and pristine coral reefs. Discover vibrant marine wildlife during a snorkeling excursion or go on a kayaking trip around maze-like mangroves, where you’ll see stingrays, crabs, and other tropical fish. Embrace the town’s laidback atmosphere while strolling down festive Duval Street, or explore attractions like the Ernest Hemingway House and the Southernmost Point of the United States during a bicycle sightseeing tour.

Grand Cayman is famed for the vast expanse of Seven Mile Beach, but there are plenty more reasons to visit. Interact with wild stingrays or snorkel over the wreck of the USS Kittiwake, now colonized by dazzling corals and tropical fish. Take a trip to Hell, a stretch of jagged black limestone formations that could indeed resemble the underworld. Back in George Town, shop for duty-free goods and sample local specialties like delicious conch chowder and Tortuga rum cake. 

New Orleans

Take in the evocative sights and sounds of the Big Easy on a cruise from Tampa to Key West that also stops in New Orleans. You’ll have two nights to explore the legendary jazz bars and pubs of atmospheric Bourbon Street. By day, there are paddle steamer cruises on the Mississippi to enjoy, the grand Oak Alley Mansion to discover, and boat trips out into the bayous to spot alligators, turtles, and wild birds.

St. Pete Beach district fire chief arrested after assaulting cyclist, deputies say

• Tony Marrero Times staff

A St. Pete Beach Fire Department district chief was arrested Thursday after he assaulted and battered a cyclist during a road rage incident on Gulf Boulevard in Redington Shores, deputies said.

Pinellas deputies arrested Thomas McClave about 5 p.m. on charges of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle and simple battery after the encounter, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.

McClave, 55, of Seminole was off duty and driving his personal vehicle, a 2017 Chevrolet pickup, south on Gulf Boulevard near 175th Avenue when he came up behind a cyclist riding in the shared travel lane. McClave pulled up beside the cyclist, 58-year-old Gregory Hicks, and yelled for him to get out of the roadway, deputies said.

The two men yelled back and forth at each other for a short time, and then Hicks rode his bike onto the raised median of Gulf Boulevard. Deputies said McClave followed Hicks with his pickup, intentionally driving onto the median and almost striking Hicks, who had to swerve out of the way.

McClave then stopped, got out of his truck and shoved Hicks in the chest twice and knocked a cellphone out of his hand as he tried to record the encounter, deputies said.

McClave was booked into the Pinellas County Jail and was listed Friday as being held without bond, records show. It was unclear if he had made his first appearance in front of a judge.

McClave has been employed by the St. Pete Beach Fire Department as district fire chief since November, according to the sheriff’s office.

Reached Friday, St. Pete Beach fire Chief Jim Kilpatrick said McClave has been suspended without pay pending an investigation into the incident. Kilpatrick said the department had no further comment.

The city also issued a news release about McClave’s arrest.

“It should be noted that the accused actions of Chief McClave do not represent the men and women of the St. Pete Beach Fire Department who provide exceptional fire and EMS services to the residents and visitors of Pinellas County,” the release said.

McClave began his fire service career as a volunteer firefighter for Indian Rocks Beach Fire Department until becoming a firefighter with Seminole Fire Rescue, according to a Facebook post from St. Pete Beach Fire Rescue announcing his hiring in November. He retired from Seminole Fire Rescue as a lieutenant/acting district fire chief in 2018 before joining the Madeira Beach Fire Department, where he held the rank of lieutenant/department training officer.

In Florida, the bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle and has all of the privileges, rights and responsibilities on public roads, except for expressways, that a motor vehicle operator does, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
