Lush Horizons – Antigua & Barbados

About this cruise

This one leaves Fort-de-France on October 8, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting St. John's, La Romana, Catalina Island and Bridgetown at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 stops with a breather between each one. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Antigua & Barbuda, Dominican Republic and Barbados. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
