Azimuth Crossing – Bridgetown, Lisbon & Paris

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 22-night sailing leaves Pointe-à-Pitre on April 16, 2028 and visits Castries, Bridgetown and Saint Vincent Island, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You finish in Southampton. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 11 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 10 countries along the Caribbean coast: St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Grenada, Martinique, Sint Maarten, Portugal, Spain, France and United Kingdom. Bridgetown alone is worth the trip, Rum, reggae, and a coral-fringed coast. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Meraviglia has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Pointe-à-Pitre itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
