Garnet & Seafoam Secrets – San Juan & St. Thomas

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. 14 nights from Fort Lauderdale on February 28, 2027, visiting Nassau, Grand Turk Island, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay, San Juan and St. Thomas. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Nieuw Statendam 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. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
