Caribbean Grand Tour – St. Thomas & Barbados

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Port Canaveral on March 19, 2028 through St. Thomas, St. John's and Castries, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 8 port calls start. 7 countries (U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Sint Maarten and Puerto Rico) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be St. Croix, Danish-Caribbean heritage under tropical palms. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Firenze. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
