Even though we know 2024 just started, we want to send it off the right way – by celebrating the arrival of our award-winning Resilient Lady ship in San Juan. People are fond of saying, “new year, new me.” Well, as 2025 approaches, we’ll be saying “new year, new ports and itineraries.” Launching from San Juan means unlocking a whole new Caribbean experience, with nine new itineraries sailing from San Juan starting on December 6.

In the spirit of the season, these won’t be just any sailings. They’ll also include two special holiday sailings, four brand new ports to explore, and perhaps the greatest gift of all: the all-included luxury of our award-winning Resilient Lady ship (recently awarded Best New Ship by Cruise Critic). That means new onboard entertainment, too, like the immersive Persephone play, and Another Rose, a one-of-a-kind acrobatic love story.

Even if you’ve sailed to the Caribbean before, we guarantee you’ve never done it quite like this. Whether you’re celebrating the holiday season or ringing in 2025, there’s no better way to do it than by checking out our new ports.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten – the gateway to one of the Caribbean’s most unique islands. A fascinating blend of Dutch and French, the small island is known not only for its rich cultural offerings, but for its abundance of beautiful beaches.

Kingstown, St. Vincent – The capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Kingstown is known for its 18th-century Botanical Gardens, the historic Fort Charlotte (with panoramic island views), local produce market, and 19th-century churches.

Cartagena, Colombia – A blend of Caribbean and Latin American culture, Cartagena is defined by its colorful colonial architecture, lush landscapes, and narrow stone walkways. It’s also surrounded by an archipelago of small islands that can be explored by boat.

Roseau, Dominica – Dominica is known as “The Nature Island” for a reason. The small island is famous for its lush rainforest hikes, waterfalls, Emerald Pool, and Boiling Lake – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visiting Dominica feels like being plopped into Pirates of the Caribbean, and indeed, scenes from the movies were even filmed here.

The best way to explore these new ports is on one of our 9 new itineraries, set to launch December 6. See the colorful stone streets of Cartagena on our Idyllic Caribbean Isles & Colombia voyage, and dive into the historic landmarks of Kingstown on San Juan, St. Vincent, Barbados, & More. Don’t forget our holiday itineraries, either. Trade a white Christmas for a blue and yellow pastel Christmas aboard the Resilient Caribbean Holidays voyage, visiting St. Kitts and Nevis, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbados, and St. Maarten, or ring in the new year on Resilient New Year’s Ahoy – a 7-night journey to Antigua, BVI, St. Lucia, Barbados, and St. Maarten.

But don’t wait until 2025 is around the corner to book. These exciting new voyages will be available starting February 29th, 2024, so book early and give yourself a reason to look forward to next winter.
