Ocean Discovery – New York City, Kings Wharf & Bimini Islands

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 12-night sailing from New York on October 19, 2026 visits Kings Wharf, Bimini, St. Croix, Philipsburg, Tortola and San Juan. The sailing ends in San Juan. 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. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 6 countries, from Bermuda to Puerto Rico. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Valiant Lady has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 12-night sailing is a strong place to start.
