Your journey, day by day

Selected day

Day 1 & Day 8

Bridgetown

Barbados · Embarkation & return

A town walk or Carlisle Bay.

Bridgetown docks at the Deep Water Harbour, a hot fifteen-minute walk or a short taxi from the centre. Barbados rewards going further than the town: the west coast beaches, Harrison's Cave and the Atlantic surf at Bathsheba are all different islands in effect.

Ways to spend your day

  • Historic Bridgetown

    Explore the city with a flexible route, keeping the port transfer separate from your town time.

  • Carlisle Bay package

    Compare the cruise-passenger package and its return schedule before committing to a beach day.

  • A shorter port visit

    Stay with the terminal’s food and shops when you prefer a short outing or less travel.

Day 2At sea.A full day at sea aboard Caribbean Princess. Sailing from Bridgetown toward San Juan.

Explore Caribbean Princess

Day 3

San Juan

Puerto Rico

Choose your side of the bay.

Check the pier on your cruise documents before planning a day in San Juan. Royal Caribbean directs embarking guests to the Pan American Pier in Isla Grande, so do not assume your ship boards beside Old San Juan. Arrange transport to the named terminal and allow time for luggage drop-off and check-in.

Ways to spend your day

  • One fort & coffee

    Choose El Morro or San Cristóbal, then fit coffee and an old-city walk around your return.

  • Old-city food & streets

    Enjoy Old San Juan with a meal and a flexible walk instead of a full fort visit.

  • A separate beach outing

    Choose beach time as your main stop, with a return ride and conditions checked before you settle in.

Day 4

St. Thomas

U.S. Virgin Islands

Choose a beach day or explore Charlotte Amalie

St. Thomas is the busiest of the US Virgin Islands, and ships berth at Havensight or Crown Bay, both a short ride from the capital at Charlotte Amalie. Magens Bay is the beach everyone goes to; the ferry across to St.

Ways to spend your day

  • Magens Bay & lunch

    Choose beach time and Fairchild’s in one place, with park entry and rentals budgeted separately.

  • Sapphire Beach

    Spend the outing at Sapphire with your rental arrangements and return point settled.

  • Keep it near your arrival

    Use your arrival area’s shops and food options when a beach round trip would squeeze the day.

Day 5

Basseterre

St. Kitts and Nevis

At your own pace.

Port Zante puts you in the middle of Basseterre, so the town is a walk and the beaches are a short ride south to Frigate Bay. The scenic railway around the old sugar estates is the excursion that is genuinely hard to arrange independently.

Ways to spend your day

  • Stay close

    Browse Port Zante, wander into town, and leave room for a relaxed return.

  • Beach lunch

    Make the beach your main outing, with lunch at Carambola and a return ride arranged.

  • Fortress views

    Make the historic fortress the focus, then browse the port if your call leaves time.

Day 6

Fort-de-France

Martinique

City streets or a cross-bay beach.

Fort-de-France docks at Pointe Simon, a short walk from the market, the cathedral and the Schoelcher library. Martinique is French in a way that surprises first-time visitors, and the beaches worth the drive are all south at Les Anses-d'Arlet and Sainte-Anne.

Ways to spend your day

  • Culture & Creole lunch

    Choose a compact city route and a lunch stop with service confirmed first.

  • Anse Mitan across the bay

    Choose the landing that fits your beach and plan the return sailing before buying.

  • A closer seaside stop

    Combine a shorter city-waterfront outing with a look around the nearby streets.

Day 7

St. George's

Grenada

Carenage views, national history, or a nutmeg garden.

St. George's is Grenada's capital, a hillside town around a horseshoe harbour. Grenada is known as the Spice Isle for its nutmeg, and Grand Anse beach and rainforest waterfalls are short drives away.

Ways to spend your day

  • The Carenage

    A selected permitted public Carenage waterfront section.

  • Grenada National Museum

    Selected open museum displays.

  • De La Grenade Nutmeg Garden

    The confirmed garden visitor circuit at De La Grenade.
