Cobalt Horizon – Basseterre & Philipsburg from Miami

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on January 30, 2028 through Basseterre, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Princess Cays, St. Thomas and Philipsburg is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in St. Kitts & Nevis, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Basseterre tends to be the one people talk about: Volcanic peaks over a Caribbean harbour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Regal Princess keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
