Blissful Caribbean Journey – Martinique & St. Maarten

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Fort-de-France on May 28, 2027 visits Pointe-à-Pitre, Tortola, La Romana, Catalina Island, Virgin Gorda Island BVI and Philipsburg. 6 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Guadeloupe, British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Sint Maarten. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Virgin Gorda Island BVI tends to be the one people talk about: The Baths' boulder-strewn Caribbean fantasy. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
