Volcanic Spires – St. Lucia, Barbados & Antigua

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from San Juan on January 10, 2027 visits St. Thomas, Philipsburg, St. John's, Castries and Bridgetown. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia and Barbados. Don't rush through Castries, which is known as The Pitons' twin peaks on the horizon. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Crown Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. San Juan itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
