Coral Coast – San Juan & St. Maarten

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 12 nights from New York on November 28, 2027, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg, Basseterre, St. Thomas and Tortola. 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. 6 countries (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. 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, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Bliss. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 11 more when you feel like treating yourself. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
