Sun-Kissed Caribbean Journey – St. Croix & Aruba

About this cruise

This one leaves San Juan on March 29, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting St. Croix, Willemstad, Oranjestad and Kralendijk 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. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Curaçao, Aruba and Caribbean Netherlands. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Brilliance Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in San Juan and come back with stories from U.S. Virgin Islands, Curaçao, Aruba and Caribbean Netherlands.
