Sun-Bleached Shore – St. Thomas & Amber Cove
About this cruise
This one leaves Port Canaveral on October 17, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 4 countries, from Dominican Republic to Bahamas. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Aqua joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
