Exotic Haven – Antigua & Barbados

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort-de-France on August 13, 2027 and visits St. John's, La Romana, Catalina Island and Bridgetown. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. The Caribbean route takes in Antigua & Barbuda, Dominican Republic and Barbados, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Opera keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Fort-de-France and come back with stories from Antigua & Barbuda, Dominican Republic and Barbados.
