Economy flights with Virgin Atlantic
Full Board or All-inclusive 14 night Caribbean Cruise
Take to the high seas on a Caribbean voyage aboard the spectacular MSC Virtuosa. Starting in Barbados, you’ll set sail on a scenic journey through the Caribbean’s most stunning destinations, exploring hidden gems far beyond the typical tropical escape - all from the comfort of an ultra-luxurious, state-of-the-art cruise ship. Depending on your chosen departure date, your itinerary will include the enchanting islands of Grenada, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Antigua & Barbuda, the Virgin Islands and more, where you’ll see all those pristine sandy beaches, idyllic pastel-hued villages and lush tropical forests that dreams (and screensavers) are made of.
Caribbean Cruise Itinerary
Please note that your itinerary will vary depending on your departure date (see below).
Barbados
You’ll start and end your cruise in Barbados, where the forecast is pretty much always the same: sunny skies and warm breezes, ideal for relaxing times on sandy seashores. The people are known to be warm and sunny, too, giving the island an easy-going, feel-good vibe.
St Vincent and the Grenadines
Comprising the largest island of St Vincent and a chain of smaller volcanic islands and islets, this Caribbean jewel is decidedly off the beaten track. The beloved retreat of in-the-know globetrotters (Mustique, anyone?), many of the country’s smaller islands are privately owned, so expect laid-back island living with a hint of low-key luxury. While you’re here, kick back on a secluded sandbank, stroll through the stunning Montreal Gardens, and take endless snaps of the active La Soufrière volcano.
Grenada Known as the ‘Spice Isle,’ Grenada is bursting with Caribbean flavour. Take to the waters for a spot of snorkelling, or get your culture fix at the Grenada National Museum.
Martinique
Sprinkled with sheltered coves and golden-sand beaches, the French-speaking islet of Martinique is chock full of sun-seeking spots. Pitch up at Anse Mitan beach and retreat under a swaying coconut tree, or visit the Botanical Garden to spy 3,000 species of tropical flora and fauna.
Guadeloupe
Brimming with colour, culture and spice-laden cuisine, Guadeloupe oozes wall-to-wall personality. Pick up some souvenirs at the Central Market, stroll between tropical blooms at the Flower Market, or seek shade under the umbrellas at Karuland Port Market.
Virgin Islands
Close to the east coast of Puerto Rico, this stunning archipelago comprises both the Spanish, British and US Virgin Islands, all beloved beach destinations for sun-seekers near and far. There’s plenty to discover on every island, from spectacular scenery at the Virgin Islands National Park to sandy beaches and turquoise waters at just about every turn.
Dominica
Dominica is a hidden gem set quite apart from the typical Caribbean escape. Known as the ‘Nature Island,’ its dazzling untouched landscape is renowned for its emerald-green hilltops and the serene crystal-blue water lapping the coast. Throw in majestic waterfalls, spectacular diving sites and one of the world’s largest boiling lakes, and you have yourself a truly otherworldly island retreat.
St Kitts & Nevis
Formed of two volcanic islands - the larger, St Kitts, and the smaller, Nevis - this entrancing nation is known for its mountainous landscape and magical black-sand beaches. Take in striking natural scenery with a ride on the historic St Kitts railway, or visit one of many sugar plantation ruins for a deep-dive into the island’s past.
St Maarten
An island split in two, St Maarten / St Martin is a marriage of French and Dutch cultures with incredible white beaches, dense forests and crystal-clear coves.
Antigua and Barbuda
A firm Caribbean favourite, Antigua’s lush flora, powder-soft beaches and clear warm seas never go out of style. Enjoy a day of water sports and sunbathing on the beach, before setting out to discover the island’s many charms: take in old-world splendour and marina glamour at Nelson's Dockyard, discover the historic ruins of Fort James, or spend the afternoon strolling past the shops and eateries of Heritage Quay.
St Lucia
Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, the stunning island of St. Lucia has something for every visitor, whether you’re a bonafide sun-seeker or a culture fanatic. Lazy days can be spent snorkelling in the warm waters, horseback riding through the rainforest, or strolling along its yacht-studded marina.
