Tropical Paradise – St. Thomas & St. Kitts
About this cruise
This one leaves Fort Lauderdale on February 27, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting St. Thomas and Basseterre at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Celebrity Xcel joined the Celebrity Cruises's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
