Indigo Meridian – Puerto Plata & Philipsburg
About this cruise
8 nights, 4 ports, all from Fort Lauderdale on December 26, 2026. The route visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg and Grand Turk Island and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and Turks & Caicos Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, 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. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 8-night sailing is a strong place to start.
