Tropical Escape – St Maarten & St Thomas

About this cruise

By October 3, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Miami, visiting Philipsburg, St. Thomas and CocoCay, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. 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. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Sint Maarten, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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 joined the Royal Caribbean's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
