11 Night Cruise from Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 11-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on December 28, 2027 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan and Basseterre, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Crossing 7 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique and Sint Maarten. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. 11 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 11-night sailing is a strong place to start.
