Ashore with Fire & Spice – Castries, Bridgetown & Grenada

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Pointe-à-Pitre on November 28, 2027 visits Castries, Bridgetown, Saint Vincent Island, St. George's and Fort-de-France. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 5 countries (St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Grenada and Martinique) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Castries, The Pitons' twin peaks on the horizon. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Meraviglia. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
