Indigo Trade Winds – Tortola, St Croix & Bimini

About this cruise

10 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Miami on March 8, 2027 visits Philipsburg, Tortola, St. Croix, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Bimini and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Sint Maarten, British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for St. Croix: Danish-Caribbean heritage under tropical palms. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Brilliant Lady (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 10 nights well spent.
