Caribbean Island Hop – Tortola & St. Kitts

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from San Juan on August 1, 2026 visits Tortola, Philipsburg, St. John's, Basseterre and St. Croix. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
