Coral Reef Odyssey – Barbados & Guadeloupe

About this cruise

You board in La Romana on November 16, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Catalina Island, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and Tortola, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 5 countries (Dominican Republic, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe and British Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Catalina Island: A Dominican diving paradise off La Romana. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
