Island Jewels Voyage – St. Thomas & St. Maarten

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from San Juan on February 26, 2028 visits St. Thomas, Philipsburg, St. John's, St. Croix and Basseterre and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda and St. Kitts & Nevis. People come back from this cruise talking about St. John's: Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 8 restaurants on Rhapsody Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 5 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
