Tropical Escape – St Maarten & St Thomas

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on August 1, 2026 and visits Philipsburg, St. Thomas and CocoCay. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Netherlands to Bahamas. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Icon Of The Seas (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
