Indigo Meridian – Aruba, Martinique & Dominica

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. 12 nights from Fort Lauderdale on April 9, 2027, visiting Oranjestad, Willemstad, Fort-de-France, Bridgetown, Roseau and Philipsburg. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: Aruba, Curaçao, Martinique, Barbados, Dominica and Sint Maarten. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Caribbean Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. 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. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 12 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
