Spice Route – San Juan & St. Maarten

About this cruise

12 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave New York on February 22, 2026 and the route takes you through Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Tortola, Basseterre, Philipsburg and St. Thomas at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 6 countries, from Dominican Republic to U.S. Virgin Islands. People come back from this cruise talking about Philipsburg: Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Breakaway has 20 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. 6 ports, 6 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
