Caribbean Island Hop – St. Thomas & St. Maarten

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from San Juan on July 11, 2026 visits St. Thomas, St. Croix, Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda and Dominica. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 8 restaurants on Rhapsody Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
