Ocean Discovery – St Thomas, Philipsburg & Basseterre

About this cruise

A 16-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on March 18, 2028 and visits St. Thomas, Philipsburg and Basseterre, with additional stops along the Caribbean. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 9 port calls start. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 7 countries, from U.S. Virgin Islands to Grenada. People come back from this cruise talking about Bridgetown: Rum, reggae, and a coral-fringed coast. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Island Princess has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 9 ports, 7 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
