Ocean Discovery – Philipsburg, Bridgetown & Fort de France

About this cruise

You sail from San Juan on January 29, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Philipsburg, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, Basseterre and St. Thomas. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. The Caribbean route takes in Sint Maarten, Barbados, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Scarlet Lady keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 12 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
