Nutmeg Trail – Grenada, Dominica & Basseterre

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 13 nights from Bridgetown on December 2, 2026, visiting St. George's, Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre, with additional stops along the Caribbean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Crossing 8 borders through the Caribbean: Grenada, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua & Barbuda, Netherlands, St. Kitts & Nevis, Dominica and St. Lucia. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC World Europa takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. 13 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Bridgetown has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. 13 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
