Cobalt Shallows – Samaná & San Juan
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 8 nights from Fort Lauderdale on January 15, 2028, visiting Samaná, San Juan, CocoCay and Nassau. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Bahamas. People come back from this cruise talking about Samaná: Humpback whales in a Dominican paradise bay. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 18 restaurants on Symphony Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
