Emerald Odyssey – Martinique, Roatan & Belize

About this cruise

If you've got 21 nights to work with, this sailing from Fort Lauderdale on January 12, 2027 through Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 12 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Honduras, Belize and Mexico, 12 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 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rotterdam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 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, 12 ports across 21 nights covers a lot.
