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 15, 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. The Caribbean route takes in U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, St. Lucia and Barbados, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in San Juan before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 7 nights well spent.
