About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on December 4, 2027 visits Samaná, St. Thomas, St. John's and Philipsburg. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. 4 countries (Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda and Netherlands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Of the stops, Philipsburg tends to be the one people talk about: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Xcel joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
