Atlantic Crossing – St. Maarten & Azores

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on April 10, 2027 through Philipsburg, Ponta Delgada and Lisbon is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: Lisbon. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Of the stops, Philipsburg tends to be the one people talk about: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Meraviglia takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
