Ocean Discovery – Philipsburg, Bridgetown & Fort de France
About this cruise
You sail from San Juan on March 25, 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 route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, Barbados, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 13 restaurants on Scarlet Lady, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in San Juan and come back with stories from Sint Maarten, Barbados, Martinique, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands.
