Caribbean Grand Tour – Philipsburg & Bridgetown

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Baltimore on November 28, 2027, visiting Philipsburg, Fort-de-France, Bridgetown, Castries and Basseterre. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, Martinique, Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Kitts & Nevis. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Pride has 8 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 12 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 12-night sailing is a strong place to start.
