Cruising roundtrip from La Romana, the itinerary includes visits to Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Basseterre, St. Kitts; St. John’s, Antigua; Roseau, Dominica; Castries, St. Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; Scarborough, Tobago; St. George’s, Grenada; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curacao; and Catalina Island, in the Dominican Republic.
Extending through late April, the winter program in the Southern Caribbean also includes a repositioning cruise to Miami. The one-way itinerary lasts three nights and features a visit to Puerto Plata before arriving in South Florida.
If you can’t make it this year, consider next year. The Norwegian Sky is set to return to the Dominican Republic for more itineraries leaving from La Romana during the winter 2025-26 winter.
