Combine a Southern Caribbean cruise with a relaxed all inclusive beach stay on this fourteen night escape. Begin with flights from Dublin to Puerto Rico before sailing through the Caribbean on board Rhapsody of the Seas, visiting island ports across the US and Eastern Caribbean. After the cruise, continue to Punta Cana for six nights at an all inclusive beach resort, giving you time to unwind after days of exploring by sea.
Rhapsody of the Seas offers a range of spaces and activities to enjoy on sea days. There are multiple swimming pools and whirlpools on deck for sunning and swimming, plus an adults only Solarium with a retractable roof for a quieter pool environment. The ship has a rock climbing wall, a mini golf course and a jogging track for outdoor activity. The Adventure Ocean youth programme provides age-specific activities for children and teens, while adults can use the fitness centre or book treatments in the Vitality Spa.
Evenings centre around the main theatre with live shows and a selection of lounges and bars, including the Viking Crown Lounge with panoramic views. Dining options include the main dining rooms and a buffet venue, with speciality restaurants such as Chops Grille and Giovanni’s Table available for guests who choose to book them.
Two classic Caribbean stops known for beaches, clear water and easy access to viewpoints and waterfront towns. Ideal for beach clubs, snorkelling or simply spending a few relaxed hours ashore before sailing on.
These ports enjoy a mix of scenery and history. Expect colonial towns, calm beaches and short trips inland to see how the islands developed beyond the coastline.
The most nature focused stop on the route, with rainforest landscapes, waterfalls and volcanic terrain. A strong contrast to the other islands and a highlight for anyone interested in scenery and guided trips ashore.
After the cruise, fly to the Dominican Republic for six nights at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana. Set directly on a long sandy beach, the resort offers multiple swimming pools, casual and à la carte restaurants, bars, daily activities and evening entertainment, all included.
