Caribbean Grand Tour – St. Lucia & Puerto Rico

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from January 15, 2028 and let this sailing from Philadelphia do its thing. The route covers Philipsburg, Castries, Bridgetown, St. John's, San Juan and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: Sint Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for St. John's: Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Pearl takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. That's 12 nights well spent.
