Ocean Discovery – Puerto Plata/Amber Cove, St Thomas & St Johns

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from New York on January 25, 2027 through Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, St. John's, Castries and Philipsburg is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia and Netherlands, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) alone is worth the trip, Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Odyssey Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. If you can, add a night in New York before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Worth booking. That's the short version.
