Heat, Hunt & Spice – Castries, Bridgetown & Grenada
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Pointe-à-Pitre on January 9, 2028 visits Castries, Bridgetown, Saint Vincent Island, St. George's and Fort-de-France. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Grenada and Martinique. People come back from this cruise talking about Saint Vincent Island: Volcanic drama in the Grenadine chain. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 9 restaurants on MSC Meraviglia, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Pointe-à-Pitre itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
