Tropical Paradise Escape – La Romana, Barbados & St. Lucia
About this cruise
You board in La Romana on December 28, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Catalina Island, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, St. John's and Tortola, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 5 countries (Dominican Republic, Barbados, Martinique, Antigua & Barbuda and British Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Fort-de-France stands out. It's French flair in the heart of the Antilles. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Opera. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. All in all, it's a solid trip.
