Caribbean Island Hop – St. Thomas & St. Maarten

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from San Juan on December 13, 2026 visits St. Thomas, St. Croix, Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda and Dominica. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 8 restaurants on Vision 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
