Exotic Caribbean Getaway – La Romana, Barbados & St. Lucia
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from La Romana on February 22, 2027 visits Catalina Island, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, St. John's and Tortola. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Barbados, Martinique, Antigua & Barbuda and British Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Tortola stands out. It's BVI's mountainous sailing paradise. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Opera takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. All in all, it's a solid trip.
