Emerald Isles Escape – Dominica & Martinique
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 11-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on February 23, 2027 visits Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 7 borders through the Caribbean: Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis, Puerto Rico and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Rotterdam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 11-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
