Cobalt Shallows – Curaçao & Tortola
About this cruise
Block out 14 nights from March 15, 2028 and let this sailing from La Romana do its thing. The route covers Catalina Island, Willemstad and Kralendijk, with additional stops along the Caribbean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 6 countries (Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Caribbean Netherlands, Aruba, Sint Maarten and British Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Oranjestad tends to be the one people talk about: Aruba's cheerful Dutch-Caribbean capital. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 1. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
