This 14-night sailing from La Romana on December 20, 2027 visits Catalina Island, Oranjestad and Willemstad, with additional stops along the Caribbean.

Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing.
