Island Jewels Expedition – Tortola, St. Lucia & St. Maarten

About this cruise

You board in San Juan on March 29, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Tortola, St. John's, Bridgetown, Castries, Philipsburg and St. Thomas, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. No sea days at all on this one. 6 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: British Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, St. Lucia, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, St. Thomas tends to be the one people talk about: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Epic takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
