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 14, 2027, visiting Tortola, St. John's, Philipsburg, St. Croix and Basseterre. 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, Antigua & Barbuda, Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands and St. Kitts & Nevis. 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, Vision Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 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. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
