Velvet Brine – St. Thomas & British Virgins

About this cruise

7 nights, 4 ports, all from Port Canaveral on February 11, 2028. The route visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay and the whole thing just flows. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Epic takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
