Caribbean Grand Tour – Philipsburg & St. Lucia

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on January 4, 2027 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, St. John's, Castries, Bridgetown, Roseau and Basseterre at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominica and St. Kitts & Nevis, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, St. John's tends to be the one people talk about: Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Ascent launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
