22 nights - Caribbean Dreams & Atlantic Escape - from La Romana/to Palma
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 22-night sailing from La Romana on March 17, 2027 visits Tortola, St. John's and Samaná, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You get off in Palma de Mallorca, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. The route threads through 8 countries along the Caribbean coast: British Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, Portugal, United Kingdom and Spain. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 5 has 11 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 22 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
