8 days, round-trip Caribbean Antilles from Martinique

About this cruise

This one leaves Fort-de-France on December 30, 2026 and spends 8 nights visiting Pointe-à-Pitre, Castries, Basseterre, Philipsburg, Santo Domingo and St. John's at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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 route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sint Maarten, Dominican Republic and Antigua & Barbuda. Most ports give you about 10 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. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
