Lagoon Lovers – San Juan & St. Maarten

About this cruise

12 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave New York on November 8, 2027 and the route takes you through Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Basseterre, St. Thomas, Tortola and Philipsburg at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 6 countries, from Dominican Republic to Netherlands. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Bliss has 18 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
