Caribbean Escape – St. Lucia & St. Thomas

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Fort Lauderdale on November 24, 2026 visits St. John's, Castries, Basseterre and St. Thomas and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands. St. Thomas alone is worth the trip, US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 10 restaurants on Celebrity Eclipse, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
