Tropical Paradise – St. Lucia & St. Thomas

About this cruise

By April 2, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 9 nights out of Fort Lauderdale, visiting St. John's, Castries, Basseterre and St. Thomas, 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 4 borders through the Caribbean: Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis and U.S. Virgin Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Eclipse takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
