Tropical Paradise Hopper – Philipsburg, Castries & Bridgetown

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on December 14, 2026 visits Philipsburg, Castries, St. George's, Bridgetown and St. John's. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, St. Lucia, Grenada, Barbados and Antigua & Barbuda. St. John's alone is worth the trip, Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Ascent joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2023. Still has that new-ship feel. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Worth booking. That's the short version.
