Caribbean Island Hop – Tortola & St. Kitts

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from San Juan on February 20, 2027, visiting Tortola, Philipsburg, St. John's, Basseterre and St. Croix. 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. 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. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Rhapsody Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. San Juan has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
