8 days, round-trip Caribbean Antilles from Guadeloupe

About this cruise

You board in Pointe-à-Pitre on December 31, 2026 for 8 nights visiting Castries, Basseterre, Philipsburg, Santo Domingo, St. John's and Fort-de-France, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sint Maarten, Dominican Republic, Antigua & Barbuda and Martinique. Keep an eye out for Fort-de-France: French flair in the heart of the Antilles. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,216 gross tons, Costa Favolosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Pointe-à-Pitre itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. That's 8 nights well spent.
