Palm-Fringed Retreat – St Maarten & St Thomas
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Miami on December 6, 2026 visits Philipsburg, St. Thomas and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Netherlands, U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. Philipsburg alone is worth the trip, Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 21 restaurants on Allure Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Worth booking. That's the short version.
