Caribbean Grand Tour – Philipsburg & St. Lucia

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Miami on March 8, 2027 visits Philipsburg, Basseterre, Castries, St. John's and St. Thomas. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Castries, The Pitons' twin peaks on the horizon. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Firenze takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
