Shallow Draft – St. Thomas & Sint Maarten

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on June 13, 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 Sint Maarten, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, St. Thomas tends to be the one people talk about: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 8 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
