Sapphire zephyrs – Barbados & Grenada

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from San Juan on April 2, 2028 and visits St. Thomas, St. John's, Saint Vincent Island, St. George's and Bridgetown. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Caribbean route takes in U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Grenada and Barbados, 5 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, Vision Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
