Ocean Discovery – St Thomas, Basseterre & Castries
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from San Juan on April 15, 2028 visits St. Thomas, Basseterre, Castries, St. John's and Philipsburg. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda and Netherlands. Castries alone is worth the trip, The Pitons' twin peaks on the horizon. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Scarlet Lady, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
