Jewel of the Caribbean – Grand Turk & St. Maarten

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Miami on February 13, 2027 through Philipsburg, Basseterre and St. Thomas, with additional stops along the Caribbean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 7 port calls start. The route threads through 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Bahamas and Turks & Caicos Islands. People come back from this cruise talking about St. Thomas: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Meraviglia has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 7 ports, 6 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
