Vibrant Horizons – Puerto Plata & St. Thomas

About this cruise

You sail from Port Canaveral on December 19, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas and Basseterre. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and St. Kitts & Nevis, 3 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. As for the ship itself, Celebrity Apex keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
