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

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Port Canaveral on June 11, 2028 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about St. Thomas: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Escape takes the food seriously, with 17 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 4 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
