Caribbean Island Hop – Tortola & St. Kitts

About this cruise

You sail from San Juan on October 9, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Tortola, Philipsburg, St. John's, Basseterre and St. Croix. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 Caribbean route takes in British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Grandeur Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
