Sugarbird & Saltwater – Tortola, Basseterre & Bimini

About this cruise

You board in Miami on November 15, 2026 for 10 nights visiting Philipsburg, Tortola, Basseterre, St. John's and Bimini, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda and Bahamas. People come back from this cruise talking about Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You're on Brilliant Lady, from Virgin Voyages. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
