Caribbean Island Hop – Philipsburg & St. Thomas

About this cruise

You board in San Juan on April 19, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Philipsburg, St. Thomas, Basseterre, Nassau and Fort Lauderdale, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. Disembarkation is in Fort Lauderdale. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 5 countries (Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis, Bahamas and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Fort Lauderdale, Florida's sunny cruise capital. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Brilliance Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
