Caribbean Paradise – St. Maarten, St. Kitts & Grand Turk

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 15 nights from Miami on December 18, 2027, visiting Philipsburg, Basseterre and St. Thomas, with additional stops along the Caribbean. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Seashore takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos Islands and Bahamas.
