Caribbean Grand Tour – St. Lucia & St. Maarten
About this cruise
Block out 14 nights from December 22, 2027 and let this sailing from Port Canaveral do its thing. The route covers Celebration Key, Tortola and Philipsburg, with additional stops along the Caribbean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Martinique, St. Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands and Turks & Caicos Islands, 9 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Celebration Key: Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Star Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. 9 ports, 9 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
