Caribbean Grand Voyage – Aruba & St. Lucia

About this cruise

Block out 13 nights from December 23, 2027 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Oranjestad, Willemstad and Kralendijk, with additional stops along the Caribbean 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. The Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Curaçao, Caribbean Netherlands, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Kitts & Nevis, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Basseterre, Volcanic peaks over a Caribbean harbour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Eclipse keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
