Caribbean Escape – Martinique & Barbados

About this cruise

You board in Fort-de-France on February 28, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Pointe-à-Pitre, Bridgetown, Castries, Saint Vincent Island and St. George's, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in Guadeloupe, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & Grenadines and Grenada, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Bridgetown: Rum, reggae, and a coral-fringed coast. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Virtuosa keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Fort-de-France before boarding. It's a good city to wander. That's 7 nights well spent.
