Golden Sands – San Juan & St. Maarten
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves New York on February 1, 2027 and visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, St. Thomas, Tortola, Basseterre and Philipsburg. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 6 countries, from Dominican Republic to Sint Maarten. Of the stops, St. Thomas tends to be the one people talk about: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Bliss has 18 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
