Detailed Itinerary
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
Miles of sandy beaches, lively outdoor events, and a charming web of waterways help to make Fort Lauderdale a relaxed, vacation capital of Florida. The excitement is palpable, as cruise ships and gleaming yachts gather in the harbor ahead of adventures and luxury journeys across the waves. Soak up the relaxed atmosphere in the canal-laced “Venice of America,” as you enjoy big-label shopping on Las Olas Boulevard - or visit fancy restaurants and bustling art galleries. For a wilder experience, the swampy wetlands of the Everglades sprawl away nearby. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a lively stretch of sand, bordered by palm trees, and sprinkled with crowds enjoying the Sunshine State's sunny weather. The charming promenade of red-brick tiles extends right along the beach's length and rumbles with passing rollerbladers and cyclists. Glide across the waves while parasailing or relax with a coffee or a margarita in a beachfront bar, as volleyball games play out in front of you. For a quieter beach option, Las Olas Beach lies a little down the coast towards Port Everglades and has extra space to spread out and tan on smooth white sand. Spot alligators waiting patiently, and the toothy grins of crocodiles patrolling the murky waters of the Everglades - the USA's largest tropical wetlands. A haven of extraordinary wildlife, birds wade through its swamps, and black bears and panthers roam its wilds. Take a scenic flight to appreciate the full scale of the national park or zip along exploring its waterways in a fan-powered boat.
Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands
Beach masterpieces of silky white sand and sparkling water shifting from turquoise to royal blue welcome you to idyllic Grand Turk. Underwater ramparts of coral teem with vibrant marine life, while tranquil beaches offer a haven of relaxation. Discover relentless Caribbean beauty as you taste the wonders of this tiny, tooth-shaped island paradise. Part of the Turks and Caicos Islands group, an enchanting string of islands that share jaw-dropping natural beauty, Grand Turk is a truly divine Caribbean escape. Your first port of call is always likely to be the blissful sand beaches that roll down to that trademark intense sea. Governor's Beach is a vision of pink sand, lapped by teal waters and a perfect rendering of your wildest imagination. Submerge into the warm waters or shelter from the sun below soaring casuarina trees. Pillory Beach is another favored option, nestled a little further to the north. Wade out along the shelf of sand, and part clear seawater that dances with twinkling sunlit patterns. Take your pick from the islands' abundance of beaches, or strap on a snorkel to float for hours amid the bright tones and curious displays of life beneath the surface. Graceful stingrays slide through the waters at Gibbs Cay, and you can wander among huge queen conch shells, strewn over its sands. Later, sunset will burn and boom above, as you taste fresh barbecued snapper, mahi-mahi, and lobster platters. The stunning coral reefs that attract keen divers from across the globe have been far less welcoming to ships historically, and the wrecks that rest on the seabed attest to their hull-shredding credentials. Flashing warnings, and standing tall since 1852, Grand Turk Lighthouse is a true icon of this island. Wild donkeys and horses may join you as you roam below the rusting, cast-iron tower, which gazes out protectively over the North Reef.

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
The steep, spectacular hills that surround St. Thomas' exquisite harbor provide a fitting entry point for this island of overwhelming natural splendor. The jungled mountains reach up above tempting beaches and scuba diving sites, while Charlotte Amalie - the island's capital - sprawls down toward the water, bedecked with shops and tasty restaurants. Part of the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands - together with St. John and St. Croix - these lands were purchased by the U.S. in 1917. Nowadays, St. Thomas is a patchwork of cultures, and a lively welcome to the islands, serving as a gracious host to the many visitors who linger - as well as those who jump on ferries, yachts, and catamarans to explore the blessed beaches of the Caribbean's other retreats. A stunning island of dramatic jungled scenery, keep your camera close to hand as you swing up the Skyride to Paradise Point, to look down over the natural amphitheater of the dock and city below. Snap some more postcard-perfect shots at Drake's Seat - said to be Sir Francis Drake's lookout point, where he scanned the horizon for approaching enemy ships. Nowadays, the views over Magens Bay and the infinite sea are always peaceful, and this is a great spot to catch a fiery Caribbean sunset spilling across the sky. Take a catamaran cruise to explore the shining coastline or seek out the glorious coves and caves that are hidden around the island's perimeter. Land on the secluded shores of tiny islands, before scuba diving and snorkeling above the twisted limbs of lost ships, reclaimed by the waters and inhabited by curious tropical fish life. Kayak over still lagoon waters or take the chance to lay back on soft beaches strewn with tiny shells, as St. Thomas's beauty washes over you.

St. Kitts (Basseterre), Saint Kitts and Nevis
St. Kitts's verdant volcanic slopes rise from crystal clear Caribbean waters, promising a land of escape, relaxation, and rejuvenation. A place for ‘limin’ - the local word for kicking back, Caribbean style, you’ll be welcomed to an island paradise blessed with swarming reefs, hidden white-sand beaches, and irresistible shallow seas. Bigger sibling to nearby Nevis, St. Kitts is a place of unrestrained natural beauty. Soak up the dreamy Caribbean bliss, or explore sprawling island rainforests, teeming with hummingbirds and the distant sounds of waterfalls, as you walk the island’s vine-tangled paths. A ride on Basseterre’s scenic sugar train is a rumbling, immersive journey through the heart of this Caribbean island of culture and vivid unspoiled scenery. Carriages that once transported crops of sugar cane to the city sweep around long curving bends, revealing a spectacular introduction to St. Kitts. The landscapes here are beautiful, and things are no less spectacular offshore, where glorious crystalline waters invite you to dive with turtles and explore doomed wrecks like the River Taw ship – which has now exploded with marine life. In Basseterre itself, stop off to see the pea-green Berkeley Memorial clock, which stands in the Circus, surrounded by busy St. Kitts life. Independence Square is also waiting among the city’s charming Georgian buildings. Renamed from Pall Mall on the 19th of September 1983 - to celebrate the island’s independence - the pretty square gravitates around a colorful burbling fountain, and has a dark history, as a former slave market. Wary canons watch out over the waves far below at Brimstone Hill Fortress, a site of significant history, which dates back to 1690. Known as the "Gibraltar of the West Indies" due to its importance at the heart of the British empire, St. Kitts was one of the first islands in the West Indies to be colonized. Nowadays, its World Heritage Site fortress offers panoramic views along the coastline it was built to defend.

Roseau, Dominica
Raise a glass to the immaculate surroundings of Roseau, where beautiful beaches - alive with fine bubbles fizzing upwards from the geothermal activity below - wait for you. Dive into extraordinary snorkeling and diving experiences, amongst thriving marine life, active corals, and live volcanoes concealed below the waves. With attractive volcanic sands to relax on, and glorious, jungled mountains to explore, Roseau is an intoxicating welcome to Dominica's Caribbean island appeal. Nestled on the west coast, Roseau is the island's capital and a city surrounded by sprawling banana plantations, and cocoa fields. First taken by the French, then the British, a strong colonial imprint mingles with the local flare. Nowadays Old Market Square is crammed with locals trading huge vegetables, colorful fruits, and handmade jewelry - but the square has a darker past, and was the center of the island's slave trade. Head up to the former British fort, which offers a panoramic, postcard-perfect view from the top, of Roseau and the lush green mountains behind. The large botanical gardens offer more magnificent views, and you can walk amongst thriving tropical plant life, as parrots flutter, and add splashes of color to the greenery. The rainforest around the city conceals rich wildlife and waterfalls spilling into splash pools, while plantations give a taste of the island's heritage. You can also discover the second-largest hot spring in the world - Boiling Lake - which brews with angry volcanic activity in the steamy Morne Trois Pitons National Park. The hiking and snorkeling can take its strain - so simmer away any stiffness in a mineral-rich hot pool, or by indulging in a rum punch or two.

Bequia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
An almost mythical utopia of virgin beaches, rustic rum shacks, and bays so scenic you feel like you're intruding - Bequia Island is an island mirage of Caribbean perfection. This is the real, unspoiled experience - and with just 6,000 locals living here, you quickly start to recognize the same smiling faces, welcoming you with outstretched arms. Offering glorious - often deserted - beaches of pure golden sand, and hillside sweeps of forest and almond trees, Bequia Island is an extraordinary feast for the senses. Unlike some of the flashier Caribbean islands, Bequia - a part of the Grenadines - is a rustic, unassuming, and off-the-beaten-path choice. The staggeringly picturesque natural harbor, Admiralty Bay, greets you on arrival and is peppered with day-tripping yachts bobbing on the gentle waves. The island's tiny capital, Port Elizabeth, sits behind, with a bustling fruit and vegetable market, turtle sanctuary, and stalls selling hand-crafted model ships. This tiny, pretty island is ridged along the center, and you can earn your beachside bliss with a gentle hike to the top of Mount Peggy, looking out over views of Grenada and St. Vincent. At just seven miles long, you can discover the whole island in a few hours - but that would be to miss the point somewhat. Bequia Island coaxes you in to slow the pace and soothe your soul on blissful beaches, where you can revel in the uncomplicated joys of sitting, reading, and swimming in heavenly shallow waters. The royally approved Princess Margaret Beach is one of the finest - an arching band of soft sand and cobalt-blue waters. As evening sets in, you may find you're beckoned to share communal barbecues of the day's fresh catch with the locals or indulge in rum-heavy cocktails at beachside bars, lashed together from sea-blanched wooden limbs.

Fort-de-France, Martinique
The largest of the Windward Islands, Martinique is 4,261 miles from Paris, but its spirit and language are decidedly French, with more than a soupçon of West Indian spice. Tangible, edible evidence of this fact is the island's cuisine, a superb blend of French and Creole. Martinique is lushly landscaped with tropical flowers. Trees bend under the weight of fruits such as mangoes, papayas, lemons, limes, and bright-red West Indian cherries. Acres of banana plantations, pineapple fields, and waving sugarcane stretch to the horizon. The towering mountains and verdant rainforest in the north lure hikers, while underwater sights and sunken treasures attract snorkelers and scuba divers. Martinique is also wonderful if your idea of exercise is turning over every 10 minutes to get an even tan and your taste in adventure runs to duty-free shopping. A popular cruise-ship excursion goes to St-Pierre, which was buried by ash when Mont Pelée erupted in 1902.

St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda
Lush and lively, Antigua is a bedazzling Caribbean destination, gorged with sunshine and crisp white sand beaches. Historic forts, sparkling coastline, and dense rainforest all contribute to Antigua's land of thrilling natural beauty. With its bright blue to turquoise sea gradients - the beaches are vibrant and plentiful, and the island has no shortage to choose from, with a rumored 365 options. Experience the beauty on horseback, as your ride pounds across the sands, and the wind whips through your hair. Choose to loll in a catamaran offshore, or lay back on a bed of the softest sand to soak it all in. Beach shacks cook up fresh seafood and spicy goat meat curries if you're feeling hungry. St. John's glows in the sunshine, with flamingo pink and baby blue paint boldly coating vivid Georgian buildings. Lively markets offer an authentic slice of Antiguan life, while museums celebrate the island's revered cricketers like Viv Richards, and the story of independence. The whacks and whoops of makeshift cricket games hint at the island's British history, and you can see more of this heritage at Falmouth Harbour - which was center of the British presence in the Caribbean. The area is still filled with sailors and docked yachts, as well as the only working Georgian dockyard in the world. Constructed in 1725, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nelson's Dockyard, was led by the admiral Horatio Nelson himself and is a fascinating time warp. Hike up to viewpoints here, which offer glorious views of the forest-clad inlets, craggy cliffs, and pointed hills. The stone towers of sugar mills dot the island, and hint at the tragic history of slavery, amid the island's sugar trade past.

San Juan, United States
Sitting on the north coast of this lush, tropical island, San Juan is the second settlement founded by European settlers in the Caribbean, and the oldest city under US jurisdiction. The stocky walls and watchtowers here have stood the test of time, repelling notable invaders – such as Sir Francis Drake – and the pirates who historically looted these islands. With massive fortresses, airy plazas and sheer Caribbean beauty, San Juan is a beach-blessed star of these turquoise waters. With more than 500 years of European history, Old San Juan gleams In Puerto Rico’s sunshine, with sugar-almond painted facades and ankle-testing cobbled lanes. Decorative balconies and varnished wooden doors add everyday artistry to streets, dripping with history. Soak up the culture at rum-fuelled parties and salsa dances on this Spanish-culture infused island, or recline into afternoon relaxation sessions on sensational slivers of gleaming sand. Kick back on the beach, or satisfy a lust for adventure by exploring sprawling mangrove forests. The magic of sea kayaking after dark here is an experience you won't forget. Break the waves with your oar, and watch as the waters illuminate with neon colour, as bioluminescence creates a mystical, peaceful spectacle. Pocked limestone cliffs and karst landscapes add rugged contrast to the serenity of the beaches, and you can walk into folds of the earth in sea-carved caves, or across cliffs to hidden views of the Caribbean’s expanse. Enjoy a taste of the island’s cuisine by sampling Mofongo – a local concoction of green plantains and chicken. Why not indulge and wash it down with an iced mojito, made from crushed mint and locally distilled rum?

For a quieter beach option, Las Olas Beach lies a little down the coast towards Port Everglades and has extra space to spread out and tan on smooth white sand. Spot alligators waiting patiently, and the toothy grins of crocodiles patrolling the murky waters of the Everglades - the USA's largest tropical wetlands. A haven of extraordinary wildlife, birds wade through its swamps, and black bears and panthers roam its wilds. Take a scenic flight to appreciate the full scale of the national park or zip along exploring its waterways in a fan-powered boat.

Power Snorkel, Rays & Beach
GTK-002If you’ve already experienced power snorkeling, you know what a thrill it offers. If you haven’t tried this gently propelled reef exploration technique before, prepare to be amazed – because this takes snorkeling to the next level. After a short hop by catamaran from the pier to the dive site and a briefing on how to use the equipment, spend the next 30 minutes discovering incredible views hidden just below the water´s surface along Grand Turk’s legendary 7000ft wall. Experience this sparkling environment up close and personal as you glide along on a one-of-a-kind power snorkeling adventure, communing with the colorful reef and its diverse aquatic denizens with unequaled ease. Afterwards, head over to tiny Gibbs Cay to see and interact with some marine creatures who glide under their own power. This pristine islet about a mile offshore of Grand Turk is the natural gathering place for flotillas of stingrays who while away their time playing in the cay’s sandy shallows. These gentle, graceful creatures are perfectly harmless as they circle around their natural habitat, seeming as curious about us as we are about them. Spend a while wading and mingling with them, and create an interspecies moment you’ll long remember. Follow that up with an hour or so of do-little time along Gibbs Cay’s white sand beach. Grab your beach towel, lay out in the sun along this remotely beautiful shoreline, sip on some rum punch, and enjoy the simple pleasures of Caribbean life. From here, the 30-minute spin back to the pier will be just as scenic as the rest of this outing has been.

El Yunque Rainforest Walk
SJU-AEl Yunque is the 3500' peak within Puerto Rico's Caribbean National Forest. The name derives from the Indian word "Yuqui" meaning white land, but was changed by the Spanish to "Yunque" which means anvil. When the peak is viewed from the north, it actually resembles an anvil (the iron block on which metal pieces are hammered). The rainforest, covering 28,000 acres, contains 75% of the virgin forests left in Puerto Rico. The entire area is a bird sanctuary and holds claim to being the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Thanks to receiving 100 billion gallons of rain per year, the forest is able to sustain some 250 species of trees, 50 types of ferns and as many as 20 varieties of wild orchids. In addition to the flora and fauna, El Yunque is also home to an array of Puerto Rican wildlife. El Yunque is home to a variety of local Puerto Rican wildlife, but perhaps the most famous would be the Amazona Uttata and the Coquí (Ko-kee). The former is better known as the Puerto Rican Parrot. It is an endangered species, very near extinction, so to see this red, blue and green beauty is a rare treat. The latter, El Coquí, is not only the national mascot, but also a source of national pride. Growing to be only ¼" to 1" in size, it gets his name from the cricket-like mating call that literally sings his name, Co-Qui-i-i-i! Exclusive to Puerto Rico, they can be found in great numbers throughout the island. However, even though the Puerto Rican tree frog can be easily heard, he can be difficult (though not impossible) to find! Your rainforest visit includes a photo stop at La Coca Falls as well as another at the Yokahu Lookout Tower. As part of the tour you'll explore the rainforest in-depth with an informative and educated tour guide. At the end of your tour, you will be refreshed with a complimentary bottle of cool mineral water. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Nevis Beach Escape
BAS-007Ahhhh. Tranquil, laid-back Nevis. Once known by the indigenous Kalinago people as Oualie, meaning “Land of Beautiful Waters,” the name still holds true today. And, as you’ll discover during this delightful outing, you could well add “beautiful beaches” to that designation. From Port Zante pier in St. Kitts, it’s just a short walk to the water taxi marina where you’ll board a 20-seat vessel for the 30-minute whisk across The Narrows to your sandy destination of this day. Admire the dramatic Kittitian landscape along the way as gemlike Nevis appears ahead of you, its central mountain rising majestically from the azure ocean. Greeted at Yachtsman Grill beach by the sun’s embrace, a complimentary fruit punch welcome drink, and beautifully kept surroundings, consider the next three or so hours to be pure, undiluted off-time. The golden sand is soft, the water is inviting, the exploring is scenic, and there’s a well-regarded restaurant right at hand for food or beverage purchases. Settle in with your complimentary sun lounge and shade umbrella, cast any cares aside, and surrender to the gentle embrace of the Caribbean at its most alluring. Granted, it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta lounge it. Might as well be you. In due time, hop back on the water taxi for the return ride to St. Kitts. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Nevis Getaway At Pinney's Beach
BAS-009Like most siblings, the sister islands of St. Kitts and Nevis have their similarities – and their differences. The former has the popular, outgoing personality and showoff attitude. The latter is more the shy, retiring type – a very desirable attribute for those seeking the simple pleasure of a half-day of R & R in paradise. If that sounds good to you, then this excursion will, too. It’s the picture-perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of St. Kitts – and begins with a brief walk to the water taxi marina near Port Zante, followed by a gloriously scenic half-hour zip to Nevis. As you approach, the island’s signature peak rising majestically from the ocean makes for a stunning introduction. Once there, your watercraft will pull up to the shallows of Pinney Beach. Simply climb off with your beach bag in hand and step onshore to begin your 3-hour stint in the aforementioned paradise. A complimentary two-person cabana will be ready and waiting for you, along with several miles of beautiful powdery beach to explore and enjoy. The sun specializes in shining, the coconut palms in rustling. The water beckons all who can float or swim. And there are legendary thatch-roofed restaurant/bars and craft kiosks to scope out. Oh, and there’s a welcome beverage included per guest – just in case you needed further encouragement. Bliss-finding is the name of the game here on Nevis. By the time you reboard the water taxi for your return to civilization, you’ll be well relaxed. We promise. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Drakes Seat, Magens Bay & Skyride to Paradise Point
THS-FIt all begins with a scenic 15-minute drive by open-air safari bus from the cruise port up to Drake's Seat Scenic Lookout, home to commanding panoramic views of St. Thomas’ north coast and even out to St. John and the British Virgin Islands. This spot is reputed to be where notorious British sea captain and privateer Sir Francis Drake once directed his ships to plunder. During your brief visit to this strategic mountaintop location, you might well experience your own sense of piratical command as you take in the spectacular down-island views. Magens Bay Beach Break Just a few minutes’ drive away and down at sea level, the white powdery sands and crystalline waters of Magens Bay await. You’ll have about two hours here to sunbathe, swim, relax, snack, and generally confirm why this spectacular strand has been deemed one of the planet’s top ten beaches. Chances are it won’t take nearly that long to agree with the popular opinion. Skyride to Paradise Point Having enjoyed your mellow beach time, a subsequent 15-minute drive via safari vehicle brings you to the Skyride base station in downtown Charlotte Amelie – and the exhilaration of Skyride, a 700-foot ascent by windowed gondola to Paradise Point and awe-inducing views of St. Thomas’ picturesque harbour and southern coastline. On a clear day, you might even spot Puerto Rico and St. Croix way out on the horizon. With about 75 minutes to drink it all in, perhaps you’ll also opt to drink in a renowned Baileys® Bushwacker from the bar. There are also bites to be purchased at the restaurant, enticing local souvenir shops to browse, and a vertiginous stroll out on the new Skywalk platform to experience – if you dare. A return gondola ride down the mountain brings you to the Skyride base station – conveniently located across the street from the cruise port and a short walk back to your ship. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.
