Sun-Kissed Sojourn – Puerto Plata & St. Thomas
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Port Canaveral on March 18, 2028 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas and Philipsburg. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten. Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) stands out. It's Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 14 restaurants on Celebrity Apex, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
