Blue Velvet – Tortola & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Port Canaveral on August 8, 2027 and visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Aqua (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
