Ocean Discovery – Catalina Island, Samana & Puerto Plata/Amber Cove
About this cruise
This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from La Romana on January 9, 2028, visiting Catalina Island, Samaná and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), with additional stops along the Caribbean. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 7 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos Islands, St. Lucia, Barbados, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts & Nevis and British Virgin Islands. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Fascinosa holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
