Emerald Atoll Adventure – Caribbean & Bahamas

About this cruise

21 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on January 29, 2027 and the route takes you through St. John's, St. Thomas and Tortola, with additional stops along the Caribbean 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 11 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Antigua & Barbuda, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Netherlands, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Cayman Islands, 10 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Grand Cayman Island, which is known as Seven Mile Beach and stingray encounters. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Nieuw Amsterdam keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. All told, 11 ports across 21 nights covers a lot.
