Caribbean Island Hop – Samana & St. Maarten

From $909 per person

About this cruise

This one leaves La Romana on December 21, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Samaná, Virgin Gorda Island BVI, Basseterre, Philipsburg and Catalina Island at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis and Netherlands. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.

Where to book

View on official site

The price above matches MSC Cruises's USD site. MSC Cruises prices every country separately, so the others may show something different.

Each MSC Cruises site only sells to people living in the region it serves. Agencies sell across markets, so this fare is often still bookable through one. See who sells it

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
