Cobalt Horizon – San Juan & Philipsburg
About this cruise
11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Baltimore on May 10, 2027 and the route takes you through Grand Turk Island, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg and St. Thomas at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. 5 countries (Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. St. Thomas stands out. It's US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Vision Of The Seas. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
