Island Hopper's Dream – Martinique & St. Maarten

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 Fort-de-France on September 17, 2027 visits Pointe-à-Pitre, Tortola, La Romana, Catalina Island, Virgin Gorda Island BVI and Philipsburg. 6 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Guadeloupe, British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Sint Maarten. Of the stops, Pointe-à-Pitre tends to be the one people talk about: Guadeloupe's butterfly-shaped wonder. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Fort-de-France itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
