Tropical Paradise – San Juan & St. Maarten

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 12 nights from New York on January 26, 2028, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Tortola, St. Thomas, Basseterre and Philipsburg. 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 Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis and Sint Maarten, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for San Juan: Where Old World charm meets Caribbean vibes. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Bliss keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in New York before boarding. It's a good city to wander. That's 12 nights well spent.
