Tidepool Odyssey – Caribbean & Bahamas

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 21 nights from Fort Lauderdale on February 28, 2027, visiting Half Moon Cay, Oranjestad and Cartagena, with additional stops along the Caribbean. 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 10 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, Netherlands, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, Antigua & Barbuda, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Nieuw Amsterdam has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 21 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 21-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
