Southern Caribbean Sojourn – Grand Turk & St. Lucia

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from February 6, 2028. This one's 14 nights from Port Canaveral, and the route visits Grand Turk Island, Oranjestad and Willemstad, with additional stops along the Caribbean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Crossing 8 borders through the Caribbean: Turks & Caicos Islands, Aruba, Curaçao, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, Carnival Firenze takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from Turks & Caicos Islands, Aruba, Curaçao, St. Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands.
