Exotic Caribbean Escape – St. Lucia & Barbados

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on December 22, 2026, visiting Basseterre, Castries, Bridgetown, Willemstad, Kralendijk and Oranjestad. 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. 6 countries (St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Barbados, Curaçao, Caribbean Netherlands and Aruba) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Celebrity Eclipse. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
