Tiki Torch Trek – Barbados & St. Maarten

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Bridgetown on April 15, 2027 and visits Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and Tortola, with additional stops along the Caribbean. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 8 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 6 countries (Martinique, Guadeloupe, British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten and Antigua & Barbuda) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Virgin Gorda Island BVI stands out. It's The Baths' boulder-strewn Caribbean fantasy. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
