Sextant Plot – Sint Maarten & CocoCay

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on February 7, 2027 visits CocoCay, St. Thomas and Philipsburg and doesn't try to cram in too much. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Netherlands, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Star Of The Seas (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. All in all, it's a solid trip.
