Tropical Escape – St Maarten & St Thomas

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Miami on June 27, 2026 visits Philipsburg, St. Thomas and CocoCay. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas. Don't rush through St. Thomas, which is known as US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
