Caribbean Escape – St. Thomas & St. Lucia

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from San Juan on April 1, 2028 visits St. Thomas, St. Croix, Philipsburg, Castries and Bridgetown 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. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. St. Thomas stands out. It's US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
