Sailing Gaze – St. Thomas & Sint Maarten

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Port Canaveral on December 13, 2026 and visits CocoCay, St. Thomas and Philipsburg. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
