Spice & Sand Journey – Dominicana & St. Maarten
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from La Romana on July 12, 2027 visits Catalina Island, Virgin Gorda Island BVI, Philipsburg, Fort-de-France and St. John's. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 5 countries (Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Martinique and Antigua & Barbuda) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Virgin Gorda Island BVI, which is known as The Baths' boulder-strewn Caribbean fantasy. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
