7 days, round-trip 7 Night Southern Caribbean Cruise

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from San Juan on December 12, 2026 visits Philipsburg, Bridgetown, Castries, Fort-de-France and Basseterre and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in Sint Maarten, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique and St. Kitts & Nevis, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Basseterre, which is known as Volcanic peaks over a Caribbean harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Valiant Lady keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 12 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in San Juan before boarding. It's a good city to wander. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
