Cobalt Horizon – St. Thomas & San Juan

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on January 22, 2028 visits Princess Cays, St. Thomas and Philipsburg, with additional stops along the Caribbean. 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. 6 countries (Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Turks & Caicos Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Sun Princess (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
