Caribbean Escape – Martinique & St. Kitts

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Fort-de-France on March 7, 2026 visits Pointe-à-Pitre, Philipsburg, Tortola, Basseterre and St. John's and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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, Sint Maarten, British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis and Antigua & Barbuda, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 11 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
