Tropical Paradise Escape – Dominicana & St. Maarten
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from La Romana on May 3, 2027 visits Catalina Island, Virgin Gorda Island BVI, Philipsburg, Fort-de-France and St. John's. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 5 countries (Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Martinique and Antigua & Barbuda) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Catalina Island: A Dominican diving paradise off La Romana. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
