Caribbean Grand Tour – Philipsburg, Castries & Bridgetown
About this cruise
10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Fort Lauderdale on February 4, 2028 visits Philipsburg, Castries, Bridgetown, St. John's and St. Thomas and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda and U.S. Virgin Islands. People come back from this cruise talking about St. John's: Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Ascent (2023) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
