Costa Favolosa: 7-Night Cruise from Fort-de-France - January 7, 2027

With 14 hours hours in Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe - from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. History lovers will appreciate colonial architecture, museums, and monuments telling the story of Guadeloupe.

The Costa Favolosa carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Port of Basseterre, St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Walking through downtown Basseterre reveals colorful colonial buildings, the central Circus Square, and a variety of local shops and cafés.

Your ship arrives in Road Town, Tortola, B.V.I. at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Cane Garden Bay is one of Tortola's most beloved beaches, known for its curved shoreline, calm water, and laid back atmosphere.

With 14 hours hours in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic - from 10:00 AM to 11:59 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Wear comfortable shoes for walking in cobblestone streets and plazas.

The Costa Favolosa carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Great Bay Beach stretches directly in front of Philipsburg and offers calm water, soft sand, and easy access to food and drinks.

Your cruise ends in Fort-de-France, Martinique, where the Costa Favolosa is scheduled to dock at 9:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. French Caribbean culture shows up everywhere, from language and food to architecture and music.
