Cobalt Shallows – Tortola, St Croix & Bimini

About this cruise

There's a reason 10-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on February 8, 2027 and visits Philipsburg, Tortola, St. Croix, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Bimini. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Caribbean route takes in Sint Maarten, British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, The ship is Virgin Voyages's Brilliant Lady. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
