Tropical Escape – St Maarten & St Thomas

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Miami on April 11, 2026, visiting Philipsburg, St. Thomas and CocoCay. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Sint Maarten to Bahamas. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Icon Of The Seas (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
