Palm Paradise – Martinique & Barbados

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort-de-France on December 12, 2026 and visits Pointe-à-Pitre, Castries, Bridgetown, Saint Vincent Island and St. George's. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Vincent & Grenadines and Grenada. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Seaview takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort-de-France has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
