Caribbean Escape – St. Thomas & Nassau

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 8-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on May 2, 2026 visits Basseterre, Philipsburg, St. Thomas and Nassau. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: St. Kitts & Nevis, Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, St. Thomas tends to be the one people talk about: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Allure Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 21 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. 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.
