All-Inclusive Caribbean Cruises 2028

Where Do All-Inclusive Caribbean Cruises Go in 2028?

The Caribbean is where the bulk of these sailings are concentrated, with a broad spread across the region and narrower selections focused on the Southern Caribbean and the Western Caribbean. The Southern Caribbean takes you deeper into the island arc, while the Western Caribbean routes include ports on the western rim of the sea. Whether you want a round-trip voyage that brings you back to the same port, or a one-way crossing that lets you explore more ground, both shapes are on sale for 2028. Most itineraries run round-trip, which keeps the logistics straightforward — you fly out, you cruise, you fly home from the same city.

Durations run from a short 4-night break to a generous 20-night voyage, with the typical sailing coming in at around 7 nights — long enough to call at several ports without feeling rushed. Prices start at £309 pp*. If you want to go deeper — longer itineraries, more islands, a wider circuit — there is plenty to choose from further up the range. All of these sailings depart and return in 2028, so you have a full year of departure dates to work with, from the early months through to late in the year.

Which Cruise Lines Sail the Caribbean All-Inclusive in 2028?

Six cruise lines dominate the 2028 all-inclusive Caribbean programme, each with a noticeably different personality. Here is the shape of who is sailing and what they bring:

MSC Cruises leads the field by volume for 2028, with the largest number of Caribbean sailings among all the lines. MSC suits travellers who want a big, feature-rich ship with a lively atmosphere and a wide range of cabin grades at different price points.

Norwegian Cruise Line is a close second and is particularly popular with guests who value freedom — no set dining times, multiple restaurant choices, and a fare structure that lets you bundle in drinks, speciality dining, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits. More on what those fare tiers actually include is covered in the fares section below.

Celebrity Cruises occupies the premium space — a step up in design, service and cuisine from the mainstream lines, with a strong following among guests who want a more refined experience without going fully ultra-luxury. Celebrity Cruises 2028 sailings cover a wide range of itineraries, including Caribbean routes that pair well with a pre- or post-cruise stay in Florida.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Azamara both operate at the luxury and boutique ends of the market. Regent is genuinely all-inclusive in the fullest sense, while Azamara’s small ships reach ports that larger vessels cannot. Costa Cruises rounds out the selection with a Mediterranean character and a strong all-inclusive fare offering.

If you are weighing up lines and ships, our cruise experts can talk through the differences — call before you book rather than after.

Where Do These Sailings Leave From?

All of these Caribbean sailings embark abroad, which means a flight is part of the trip. The main departure ports are in Florida, Puerto Rico and Barbados, and Cruise1st can book the flights, hotels either side and transfers as part of a single Cruise1st Package — so you are not left arranging each piece separately.

The Florida ports between them account for most of the departures. Miami is the largest single embarkation point, and it is worth knowing that Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is about half an hour away — the two ports are close enough that it is worth checking both for dates and prices before you decide. Port Canaveral is Florida’s third cruise hub, on the Atlantic coast, and suits guests who want to spend time in the area before or after their sailing. San Juan in Puerto Rico is also a significant departure point for Caribbean itineraries, and Fort de France in Martinique serves as an embarkation port for some of the shorter island-hopping routes.

On one-way sailings, you will end the voyage at a different port from where you boarded, so you will need to arrange a flight home from there. We can sort that for you as part of the same booking — it is one of the reasons to use a specialist rather than booking the cruise alone.

If you are sailing from Barbados in 2028, Bridgetown is a well-connected airport hub and a popular spot to spend an extra night or two either side of the cruise. Let us know and we will build it in.

Which Ships Are Sailing the All-Inclusive Caribbean in 2028?

Several distinctive ships are operating Caribbean all-inclusive itineraries in 2028. Below are the ones with the most sailings in this programme, along with what makes each one worth knowing about.

MSC World Asia

MSC World Asia launched in December 2026, making it a genuinely new ship for 2028 sailings. At 215,863 GT, it is among the largest cruise ships ever built. The Asian-inspired design runs through the whole vessel — a 12-metre floating dragon sculpture sits on the World Promenade, and an 81-metre spiral slide drops across 12 decks. The Harbour outdoor theme park includes the Cliffhanger swing, which sits 50 metres above the ocean, free-fall waterslides and 7 pools. This is a ship designed for guests who want a full resort experience at sea, with more activity options than most can work through in a week.

Cabin grades and deck plans for MSC World Asia cover a wide range. In brief:

• Deluxe Inside Cabin Fantastica — 15 m², sleeping up to 4; 50% more floor space than a standard inside cabin
• Infinite Ocean View Fantastica — 20 m² ocean-view cabin with window, twice as spacious as standard ocean-view cabins
• Balcony Aurea — 17 m² with a private balcony for direct open-air access and views
• Grand Suite Aurea — 35 m² balcony suite with a separate seating area, 40% larger than standard suites
• MSC Yacht Club Owner’s Suite — 104 m², the largest suite on board, with almost twice the space of other Yacht Club suites

MSC Seashore

MSC Seashore is built around its relationship with the sea. The ship’s 13,000 m² of outdoor space includes a glass-floored bridge 22 metres above the waterline and glass-bottomed promenades running along both sides of the hull — so you are walking above the ocean as you stroll. Pirates Cove Aquapark connects to the Long Island Pool on Deck 18, with a 360-degree fountain island, a zip line and an MSC Formula Racer simulator. The ship-wide New York theme includes a Times Square area with an 8.5-metre LED wall. This is MSC’s most outward-facing ship — literally designed to bring the outside in.

Cabin grades and deck plans for MSC Seashore:

• Premium Inside Cabin Fantastica — 28 m², twice the size of standard inside cabins on this ship, sleeping up to 5
• Ocean-view Cabin Bella — 17 m² with a window and sea view, sleeping up to 4
• Two-Bedroom Grand Suite Aurea — 49 m² with 2 complete bedrooms, the only multi-room suite on board, sleeping up to 6
• Super Family Cabin Plus — 51 m² with separate sleeping and living areas, sleeping up to 10
• MSC Yacht Club Owner’s Suite — 98 m², the largest suite on board, with a separate bedroom, living room and dining room

Seabourn Ovation

Seabourn Ovation is a small, ultra-luxury ship where the experience is defined by space, quiet and personal service. Onboard, the spa offers thermal suites and a full menu of wellness treatments. Five dining venues give guests a variety of experiences throughout the voyage, including the Earth & Ocean al fresco option. The Grand Wintergarden Suite runs to approximately 115–120 m² and includes a private hot tub, a separate bedroom, a full kitchen with bar and a generous living area — one of the most spacious afloat.

Seven Seas Grandeur

Seven Seas Grandeur sails for Regent Seven Seas Cruises and is positioned as a genuinely all-inclusive luxury experience — fares cover the suite, dining, drinks, Wi-Fi and excursions. The ship is designed around space per guest, with generous suite dimensions and a breadth of itinerary options that suit guests who want to explore ports in depth rather than skim them. Cabin grades and deck plans for Seven Seas Grandeur are worth reviewing if you are comparing luxury options for 2028.

Costa Fascinosa

Costa Fascinosa is one of the most visually distinctive ships afloat, with interiors drawn from Italian cinematic history — think Fellini and Visconti, rendered in gold leaf and deep ruby. The Samsara Spa covers 6,000 m² across two decks, with a thalassotherapy pool and more than 100 spa-access cabins for guests who want spa treatment included in their daily routine. A three-deck theatre hosts nightly productions, and the Archipelago restaurant has featured Michelin-starred chefs. Costa Fascinosa cabin grades and deck plans give you the full picture on accommodation options.

Azamara Quest

Azamara Quest is a small ship, and that is the point. Its size allows it to call at boutique Caribbean ports that larger ships simply cannot reach — including Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe and La Romana in the Dominican Republic. Overnight and late-night port stays are standard practice on Azamara itineraries, so you get proper time ashore rather than a few hours on the pier. Azamara also offers complimentary AzAmazing Evenings — exclusive cultural experiences ashore, from concerts to private local dinners, arranged just for guests on that sailing. Azamara Quest cabin grades and deck plans are available if you want to see what is on offer.

What Do All-Inclusive Fares Actually Cover?

All-inclusive means different things on different lines, and knowing what is and is not covered before you book saves surprises on board. Here is what the major lines include in their headline fares.

Norwegian Cruise Line — Free at Sea

Norwegian operates a tiered fare structure. The base rate covers the cruise itself with no packages attached. Step up to the Free at Sea tier and guests 1 and 2 receive a Premium Beverage Package, a Speciality Dining Package, a Wi-Fi package and shore excursion credits of US$50 per port. The Free at Sea Plus tier extends that further — the full dining package applies to all guests on the reservation and covers any of Norwegian’s speciality restaurants throughout the voyage. The number of included speciality dining meals scales with the length of the sailing. If you are travelling as a group, the distinction between which tiers cover which guests is worth clarifying before you book — our team can explain this clearly.

Norwegian Cruise Line has a strong 2028 programme; you can see their full Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 sailings or browse Norwegian 2028 sailings with UK departures if you want to start closer to home.

Celebrity Cruises — Three Fare Tiers

Celebrity offers 3 distinct tiers for 2028. The cruise-only rate gives you the lowest price and lets you add extras afterwards. The mid-tier includes a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi in one price — convenient if you know you will use both. At the top, The Retreat is Celebrity’s suite-only experience: premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, exclusive lounge access, a private sundeck and dedicated personal service, all included. If you are considering The Retreat, it is worth comparing the per-night cost against what you would spend adding drinks and Wi-Fi separately. Celebrity Cruises 2028 covers the full itinerary range, or if you prefer to fly from the UK first, Celebrity 2028 sailings from Southampton give you a no-fly start.

Costa Cruises — All Inclusive and Comfort Plus

Costa’s headline all-inclusive fare covers full board — breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks — plus unlimited premium drinks through the My Drinks Plus package, entertainment, shows and a reserved dining table. The Comfort Plus tier adds 24-hour room service and a lunch-and-dinner package on top. Costa also runs fare types such as flash sales and last-minute offers that carry full board at a reduced price, though drinks may need to be added separately. Costa Cruises is a good option if you want a genuinely inclusive experience without stepping into luxury pricing.

Are There Any Discounts on 2028 Caribbean Sailings?

Prices on individual sailings do move. Some departures in the 2028 all-inclusive Caribbean programme carry reductions of up to 38% from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing — though that figure applies to a single departure, and most reduced sailings come in around 6% off. It is not a page-wide sale: the headline figure tells you the range is there, not that every sailing is heavily discounted.

The practical takeaway is that fare types such as early-booking rates, last-minute offers and promotional bundles come and go throughout the year. Booking sooner tends to secure the widest choice of cabin grades and sailing dates, even if a late deal occasionally undercuts it. If you spot a sailing you want, it is worth booking and asking our team whether anything better applies — we can check live availability and current promotions at the time you call.

Make It a Complete Holiday

Every one of these sailings departs from abroad, which means flights are part of the equation. As one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, Cruise1st can put the whole trip together — flights from your nearest airport, a hotel the night before or after the cruise, transfers between the airport and the port, tours, and travel insurance, all on one booking. That is what a Cruise1st Package covers, and it is the reason a specialist booking tends to be less stressful than piecing it together yourself.

We are also rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and every booking is protected under ABTA and ATOL — so if something changes, you are covered. Our team is available to talk through the itinerary options, the cabin grades, the fare tiers and what to pair with your cruise before you commit to anything.

If you want to explore all-inclusive all-inclusive cruises beyond the Caribbean, or browse the full cruises range across every destination and line, both are a good place to start. You can also look at the broader Caribbean cruises 2028 programme if you want to include non-all-inclusive options in your comparison, or check the all-inclusive Caribbean cruises hub for sailings across other years.

If you are planning a Caribbean cruise around Christmas or New Year, the Christmas and New Year all-inclusive cruises page covers the festive window specifically.

What Else Is Sailing in 2028?

The Caribbean is the standout destination for all-inclusive sailings in 2028, but it is far from the only option if you are open to other regions or lines.

Mediterranean cruises are the most popular alternative for UK travellers. Mediterranean cruises in 2028 cover a wide range of itineraries and lines, and several of the same cruise lines that sail the Caribbean also operate extensively in the Med. If you want to fly less, MSC cruises from Southampton in 2028 and Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 sailings from Southampton let you board in the UK without an airport at either end.

The Norwegian fjords are another popular 2028 itinerary for UK travellers. Norwegian fjords cruises in 2028 cover multiple lines and departure ports — if you want an all-inclusive version, all-inclusive Norwegian fjords cruises give you a direct comparison on fare inclusions.

P&O Cruises has a strong 2028 programme that appeals to guests who want to sail from a UK port. P&O 2028 cruises cover a range of destinations from Southampton, and if the Caribbean is still on the list but you want a P&O option, it is worth browsing their Caribbean itineraries alongside the all-inclusive lines here.

If you are travelling from the north of England, 2028 cruises from Liverpool gives you UK departure options without the drive south. And if you want the full picture of what is on sale for the year, 2028 cruises covers every destination, every line and every fare type in one place.

For a Caribbean holiday with a different twist, Caribbean cruises with New York stays combine the cruise with a city break — a popular combination that our team puts together regularly. If you want a specific line pairing, Caribbean cruises with P&O is a strong option for British travellers who prefer a familiar onboard style.

If you want to narrow your search to fly-only Caribbean options for 2028, the all-inclusive fly Caribbean 2028 cruises page filters specifically for sailings with a flight included.
