Palm-Fringed Paradise – Coco Cay & St. Thomas
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Port Canaveral on October 3, 2027 and visits CocoCay, Samaná and St. Thomas. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. 3 countries (Bahamas, Dominican Republic and U.S. Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Star Of The Seas (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
