Washed Pebbles – Sint Maarten & Charlotte Amalie

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Port Canaveral on September 26, 2027, visiting CocoCay, St. Thomas and Philipsburg. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. 3 countries (Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Star Of The Seas (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Sint Maarten.
