Transatlantic Grandeur – Paris & Caribbean

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Southampton on November 6, 2027 visits Le Havre (Paris), Ponta Delgada, St. John's, Saint Vincent Island, Bridgetown and Fort-de-France. The sailing ends in Fort-de-France. 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 6 countries along the Caribbean coast: France, Portugal, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Barbados and Martinique. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Meraviglia has 9 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
