7 days, round-trip Caribbean Antilles from Santo Domingo

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Santo Domingo on December 7, 2026, visiting Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre, Basseterre, St. John's and Tortola. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Caribbean route takes in Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda and British Virgin Islands, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Favolosa: 3,016 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
