Luminous Lagoon – Amber Cove & Grand Turk

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on February 7, 2027 visits Nassau, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Grand Turk Island and Half Moon Cay. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. Crossing 3 borders through the Bahamas: Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), which is known as Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Nieuw Statendam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
