Ocean Discovery – Philipsburg, St. John's & Tortola

About this cruise

16 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on December 11, 2026 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, St. John's and Tortola, with additional stops along the Caribbean 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 8 port calls start. 8 countries (Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Nieuw Amsterdam. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. 8 ports, 8 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
