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

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Port Canaveral on May 28, 2028 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Norwegian Escape keeps you well fed. 17 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
