Sail the Eastern Caribbean
March 16-23, 2025
Wonder of the Seas
The ultimate Vacay duo has arrived. Wonder of the Seas is teaming up with Perfect Day at CocoCay to bring you an all-in-one, thrill-topping adventure for all ages - at a value that knocks it out of the parks!
On one of the world's largest ship, daredevils can test their bravery, and vocal cords, on the 10-story slide, Ultimate Abyss. Wonder Playscape takes kids' playtime to a slideable, climbable underwater world. Everyone can indulge in flavorful family feasts at over 20 dining options, from Southern classics with a twist to rustic Italian favorites. All between the most sought-after shores of the tropics. Like the game-changing Perfect Day at CocoCay ~ a private island filled with record-breaking thrills and endless ways to chill. Launch into out-of-this-world adventures onboard Wonder of the Seas from the Space Coast.
Big, bold, and high-tech, Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas is exactly that -- a wonder upon the seas. The biggest cruise ship in the world -- at least until Icon of the Seas debuted in early 2024 -- Wonder of the Seas offers more activities, entertainment, dining and experiences than any person could reasonably pack into a single week -- or two.
Despite its leviathan appearance -- the double capacity on the Wonder of the Seas cruise ship is 5,784, and can take 6,988 passengers when totally full -- this surprisingly accessible ship distinguishes itself by offering up uncommonly subdued experiences, like evenings at the outdoor Central Park Boardwalk and quiet days at sea in the 180-degree, three-story Solarium at the bow of the ship.
There is no shortage of choice when it comes to food aboard Wonder of the Seas. The ship features the largest Windjammer Buffet in the Royal Caribbean fleet (with the kind of capacity that the ship carries, it's a necessity) and a three-story dining room serving up breakfast and dinner each day, and lunch on sea days.
But to only dine at the complimentary food is to miss out on part of what makes Wonder of the Seas superb: its unique specialty dining venues. From the brand-new Southern-themed eatery The Mason Jar to the wacky, Alice in Wonderland-themed venue Wonderland or just a hearty burger at Johnny Rockets, these add-on fee experiences are worth your time and money.

Wonder of the Seas attracts a very diverse passenger crowd, from experienced cruisers to first timers. Expect to find a wide demographic onboard, including solo travelers, couples, multi-generational families, and seniors looking for a slice of seagoing adventure. Though predominantly North American, expect a smattering of passengers from the UK, South America, Europe and Australia to be onboard as well.

Philipsburg, St Maarten
The capital of Dutch St. Maarten
stretches about a mile (1½ km) along an isthmus between Great Bay and the Salt
Pond and has five parallel streets. Most of the village's dozens of shops and
restaurants are on Front Street, narrow and cobblestone, closest to Great Bay.
It's generally congested when cruise ships are in port, because of its many
duty-free shops and several casinos. Little lanes called steegjes connect Front
Street with Back Street, which has fewer shops and considerably less
congestion. Along the beach is a ½-mile-long (1-km-long) boardwalk with
restaurants and several Wi-Fi hot spots.Wathey Square (pronounced watty) is in
the heart of the village. Directly across from the square are the town hall and
the courthouse, in a striking white building with cupola. The structure was
built in 1793 and has served as the commander's home, a fire station, a jail,
and a post office. The streets surrounding the square are lined with hotels,
duty-free shops, restaurants, and cafés. The Captain Hodge Pier, just off the
square, is a good spot to view Great Bay and the beach that stretches alongside.

Charlotte
Amalie, St. Thomas
At
32 square miles, St. Thomas is one of the three largest U.S. Virgin Islands and
is a popular stop on Eastern Caribbean itineraries. While
the island is known as the shopping capital of the Caribbean, St. Thomas is
also known for its pristine beaches, snorkeling, and sport fishing
opportunities. More than 1.5 million cruise ship guests visit the island each
year to enjoy the duty-free shops, historic attractions, and beautiful
beaches.
- Magens Bay Beach ~ is continuously voted as one of the best
beaches in the world!
- Sapphire Beach ~ it is a smaller beach
- Lindquist
Beach ~ is located close to Sapphire Beach and is
part of a protected 21-acre park called Smith Bay Park. It is a great place for
snorkeling, as there is a chance that you will see vibrant marine life and sea
turtles!
