Sun-Kissed Island Adventure – St Thomas & St Maarten

About this cruise

You sail from San Juan on September 19, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting St. Thomas, Tortola, Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda and Dominica. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Rhapsody Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. 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.
