Trade Wind Arc – Dominica, Antigua & St. Lucia

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Fort Lauderdale on November 10, 2026 and the route takes you through Philipsburg, St. John's and Roseau, with additional stops along the Caribbean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 7 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Netherlands, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for St. Thomas: US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rotterdam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 11 nights well spent.
