Verdant Headlands – St. Thomas & Tortola

About this cruise

By March 28, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Miami, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas, Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Bahamas, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Aqua joined the Norwegian Cruise Line's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
