Tropical Escape – St Maarten & St Thomas

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Miami on May 30, 2026 visits Philipsburg, St. Thomas and CocoCay. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Icon Of The Seas joined the Royal Caribbean's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May 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.
