Coral & Coast – Philipsburg & St. Lucia

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on January 25, 2027 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, St. John's, Castries, Bridgetown, Roseau and Basseterre at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominica and St. Kitts & Nevis. Castries stands out. It's The Pitons' twin peaks on the horizon. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Ascent launched in 2023, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All in all, it's a solid trip.
