Ocean Discovery – Philipsburg, Basseterre & St Thomas

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Miami on January 15, 2028 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, Basseterre, St. Thomas, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Ocean Cay and Nassau at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Netherlands, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about Nassau: Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Seashore takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. 6 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
