Archipelago Pulse – Puerto Plata & St. Thomas

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on December 23, 2026 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay 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 route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Great Stirrup Cay, A private Bahamian escape. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 17 restaurants on Norwegian Escape, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
