Archipelago Odyssey – Castries & Fort-de-France from San Juan

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from San Juan on February 13, 2028, visiting St. Thomas, Philipsburg and St. John's, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 9 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis, Martinique and Grenada. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Emerald Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
