Caribbean Escape – St. Thomas & St. Lucia

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from San Juan on November 13, 2027 visits St. Thomas, St. Croix, Philipsburg, Castries and Bridgetown. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados. Keep an eye out for Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 8 restaurants on Grandeur Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
