Cobalt to Cobblestone – Aruba, Azores & Paris

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 24-night sailing leaves La Romana on March 29, 2028 and visits Catalina Island, Willemstad and Kralendijk, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You wind up in Bremerhaven, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 10 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 10 countries (Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Caribbean Netherlands, Aruba, Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, Portugal, Spain, France and Germany) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Oranjestad stands out. It's 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. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
