Sunset Sails – Barbados & Guadeloupe
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from La Romana on May 10, 2027 visits Catalina Island, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and Tortola. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe and British Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Catalina Island: A Dominican diving paradise off La Romana. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Opera takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 7 nights well spent.
