Cobalt Shallows – San Juan, Philipsburg & Castries

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Bridgetown on December 3, 2027 and visits San Juan, St. Thomas, Philipsburg, St. John's and Castries. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Caribbean route takes in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda and St. Lucia, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Emerald Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
