Caribbean Escape – St. Thomas & St. Lucia

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from San Juan on October 30, 2027, visiting St. Thomas, St. Croix, Philipsburg, Castries and Bridgetown. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 4 countries (U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Grandeur Of The Seas. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in San Juan and come back with stories from U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados.
