Tropical Tryst Cruise – Barbados & Guadeloupe

About this cruise

This one leaves La Romana on April 12, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Catalina Island, Bridgetown, Fort-de-France, Pointe-à-Pitre and Tortola at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe and British Virgin Islands. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Opera has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
