Gilded Indigo – Amber Cove & Philipsburg

About this cruise

This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on September 12, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan and Philipsburg at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Sint Maarten. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Regal Princess takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
