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.

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?

St John , U.S. Virgin Islands
Like so many of the islands in the Caribbean, 2017's double whammy of hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated much of St. John. However, as relief funds get funneled into rebuilding, normality is gradually being restored, and St. John version 2.0 is emerging - bolder, brighter, and better. St. John's small size might just give it the edge over other desert islands. The U.S. purchased the tiny landmass (at just nine miles long, the island is the smallest of the three American Virgin Islands) from the West India and Guinea Company in 1917 and it remains under U.S. govern to this day. Historically speaking however St. John is Danish, who colonized it for almost 250 years before its sale to America. The Virgin Island National Park covers almost two-thirds of the island, meaning visually St. John is stunning and will remain that way for generations to come. This "gift" to the world comes thanks to Laurence Rockefeller who in 1956 gave the 5,000 acres of lush forest to the people of the island, with the caveat that it become a national park. Thus, velvety green hills slope into picture-perfect white sand beaches, which are ringed by turquoise seas. One very definite winner of the tourism hiatus since 2017 has been the marine wildlife. Underwater life was barely affected by the storms and the subsequent lack of tourism has allowed the eco-systems to propagate. The island's abundant coral reefs were not overly affected by the storms and today the waters are teeming with sea turtles, reef sharks, and sting rays.

Gustavia, St. Barthelemy, Saint Barthelemy
Cherry red roofs, yacht-sprinkled bays, and a sophisticated French flavor all add to the gorgeous Caribbean allure of Gustavia. The island's capital rolls around a horseshoe-shaped harbor, where gleaming yachts hover and fancy shops, bars, and restaurants buzz with life and clinking cutlery. Head up to red and white Gustavia Lighthouse to look down over the revered waters, which attract many a celebrity guest and diving enthusiast to these shores. Christopher Columbus was the first European to discover this volcanic island in 1493, giving it the name St. Barthelemy in honor of his younger brother. The island has a unique history as a Swedish colony, following a deal with the French King Louis XVI to exchange the island with Sweden for better trading rights. It was returned to French control in 1878 and is now a French Overseas Collectivity. Learn more about the Swedish legacy at Fort Karl - which sits on a 29-meter-high hill above Shell Beach. The fort now lies in ruins, but you'll meet wandering iguanas, and the sweeping sea views and emerald coastline are some of the island's finest. Down below, a delightful spread of tiny pebbles and shell fragments scatter like confetti and is lapped by crystal-clear water. A little exploration uncovers countless other glorious beaches and natural wonders. Colombier Beach is a little out of the way but cradles silky-smooth sands and typically turquoise waters. If you have the chance, find somewhere to settle and sip fruity rum cocktails as the sunset flares across the waves.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles
Offering an island bounty of electric-blue Caribbean Sea waters, sensational scuba diving, and elevated viewpoints, Philipsburg revels in Caribbean beauty. St. Maarten is an unusual island of dual personality - partitioned into French and Dutch sides. It was discovered by Christopher Columbus on his second journey to the Americas in 1493. A truce was eventually brokered in 1648, sharing the island between the French and Dutch - an arrangement that endures today. A Caribbean mirage of soft sand beaches and perfect snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities - arrive on the south of this beautiful island at the Dutch side's capital, Philipsburg. Squeezed between the bay and the Great Salt Pond, the city offers waterfront strolls in the gentle breeze, duty-free bargains, and plenty of room to sit and drink in the dazzling sea views. Clear, turquoise waters hold underwater worlds of colorful corals and fish, while glorious beaches of typical Caribbean beauty invite you to sprawl out beside the tempting shallow waters. Look out to see occasional jet skis skirting the waters, as you recline on sand flanked by lush vegetation on both sides. Tear into the fresh local produce and taste the island's sensational seafood - from lobster to red snapper and conch cocktails. Don't miss the opportunity to try out the island's favorite tipple, either - guava berry rum. Beautiful green peaks offer stunning hikes, amid the rich tangle of jungle scenery. Maho Beach may also be on the radar - the tranquility of this small beach is regularly interrupted by the deafening roar of jet engines, as Princess Juliana International Airport's runway comes perilously close to the sands. Huge planes skim just above the beach before touching down, and the blasts of departing jet engines blow violent gales out toward the waters.

Deshaies, Guadeloupe
Deshaies’s natural, sheltered harbor, the deepest of the Caribbean, has always attracted seafarers. Long ago it was a haven for buccaneers, and it’s said there’s still hidden treasure on the island. Postcard pretty, with painted wooden creole homes, gathered around a little church, it won’t take you long to discover Deshaies’s - a hidden gem.
Whilst rightly associating Guadeloupe with transparent seas, lapping pristine beaches of colored sands, the island of Basse-Terre boasts so much more.
Benefitting from farsighted, ecological measures, both land and sea have been protected, resulting in a rich biodiversity waiting to be discovered. Whatever your energy levels, from the very active, to those who simply want to recharge their batteries, there’s a landscape just for you.
Trek through tropical forests, passing hot springs, and spectacular waterfalls to reach the smoldering crater of a volcano, bringing out the adventurer in you.
Stroll around the manicured botanical gardens amongst jeweled colored, exotic birds.
Cool off whilst exploring from a huge choice of unspoiled beaches, including the famous expansive Grande Anse, with its red sands and palm trees. Dive deep in the water, and swim with turtles. Revel in the panoramic beauty over a drink at sunset, accompanied by delicious, traditional Antilles cuisine.
If any of this piece of paradise looks familiar, it could be because since 2011, it’s been the setting of the much-enjoyed BBC television series Death in Paradise. Get in on the act

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.

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.

Bridgetown, Barbados
Bridgetown, the captivating capital of Barbados, combines faded colonial history, rich tradition, and vivid white beaches plucked directly from your wildest imagination of Caribbean perfection. Recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its beautifully preserved colonial architecture, Bridgetown's mask of modernity covers a core of complex history and fascinating culture. Sherbet-colored buildings line up to overlook the waterfront of the Constitution River at “The Careenage” - where gleaming ships bob on the blue water, and peaceful strolls along a wooden boardwalk await. Stop for a sobering moment at the commemorative sign honoring the people traded at this spot when Bridgetown was the British Empire's most important harbor and the first stop on the Transatlantic Slave Trade route. Just a five-minute stroll from here is Carlisle Bay - a postcard-perfect place where you'll find crystal-clear, turquoise seawater glowing in the Caribbean sun, and a mile of soft white powder sand. A treasure trove for divers, the shipwrecks scattered below the shallow water's waves are now inhabited by turtles and swirling, rainbow-colored tropical fish. Head to the backstreets, where street food vendors serve up spicy chicken soup, barbecued pigtails, and thirst-quenching coconut water. There are bargains aplenty to be had on Broad Street, where duty-free malls and souvenir stalls cram together, vying for your attention. Roebuck Street is the spot where one of the Caribbean's favorite drinks, rum, was discovered - having been created here from the by-products of the island's booming sugarcane trade. Nowadays, the street is lined with bars splashing every variety of the deliciously spicy dark libation imaginable into glasses. For a touch more culture, visit one of the oldest synagogues in the Americas - Nidhe Israel Synagogue, which was built in 1654. The adjoining museum tells the story of Barbados’ Jewish immigrants, who were instrumental in the island's development.

Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia
Discover Race Sailing
RNB-GEven if you can’t tell a backstay from a boom vang, apparent wind from the layline, or lift from luff, this one-of-a-kind excursion experience will introduce you to the basics of race sailing – and reward you with the incomparable thrill of soaring across the waters of the Caribbean aboard St Lucia’s only ocean racing yacht. The beautiful Papagayo is waiting for you just steps from the tender dock, with her welcoming and professional crew ready to provide an engaging, hands-on sailing lesson and an unforgettable, nearly two-hour adventure. Learn how to hoist the sail, fly the jib, winch and trim the sails, and take the vessel's helm. Harden the sails and feel the yacht heel over and fly through the water as you ride the wind along the Rodney Bay coastline, clad in breathtaking scenery and dream-worthy resorts. Few moments on the water are as exhilarating. By the time your vessel glides back to the dock, you’ll have acquired a solid sense of what race sailing is all about. And perhaps a yen to do more of it on your next Silversea cruise adventure. Active excursions are recommended only for those guests in good physical health, with considerable amounts of physical activity.

North Island Marigot Bay and Piton Cruise
RNB-FAs beautiful as Rodney Bay is, the rest of St Lucia’s western coast is, too – and this half-day-plus outing is your chance to see it all, by sea. Your comfortable motorized catamaran awaits boarding just a short stroll from the tender dock. Once onboard, the next 5 hours will be one beautiful sight another, beginning with a spin around Rodney Bay to view historic Pigeon Island National Landmark, a double-peaked 44-acre islet connected to the mainland by causeway and crowned by the remnants of Fort Rodney – a strategic observation post the British used to keep a close eye on the French fleet at nearby Martinique during their 18th-century conflict. Leaving Rodney Bay behind, your captain will steer the vessel southward along the West coast, passing by Castries Harbour and the fishing villages of Anse La Raye and Canaries en route to the island’s acknowledged showstoppers: the spectacular Pitons. Visible for miles, Petit and Gros Piton are a pair of angular volcanic spires rising majestically side by side out of the sea. Bring your best camera; this waterborne vantage point makes them the perfect backdrop for photos sure to make a splash on any Instagram feed. During the return sail northward toward home port, catamaran life shifts into festive mode as the danceable music of the Caribbean comes up, and a selection of snacks and drinks come out for your enjoyment. Soft drinks and rum punch. Bites like BBQ chicken wings, pizza wedges, sandwiches, and veggies. You’ll visit magnificent Marigot Bay, where superyachts of every stripe tend to gather in the protected embrace of this deep-set cove wrapped on three sides by lush green hills. And the captain will select an ideal bay along the coast for that most classic of Caribbean pastimes – a swim break in turquoise waters so sparkling clear they shimmer. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Rainforest Aerial Tram & Ziplining
RNB-DFeeling a bit wild? Ready to leave beach-lounging and panoramic sightseeing for another day? Then consider this far more elevated way to experience St Lucia – and discover how much of the island’s spectacular beauty is hidden high above the ground in its tropical rainforest canopy. Departing the port by mini-coach, enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive to Rainforest Adventure Park, where you’ll be briefed by an experienced guide and assigned a gondola car for the first phase of this half-day adventure. Relax in your comfortable seat as the open-air tram ascends silently through the unspoiled rainforest. View towering gommier trees, massive chatanniers, the oddity of the strangler ficus, and many other species of jungle hardwoods – visited by acrobatic hummingbirds, tiny golden-bellied bananaquit tanagers, and other exotic avians. Watch as your expert guide points out giant ferns and brilliant heliconia inflorescences below, and learn about the calls and plumage of the colorful birds that frequent the Caribbean. With your mellow hour-long aerial tour complete, head for the staging area to be geared up and briefed on the thrill-ride portion of your jungle experience: Ziplining! Soon, you’ll be screaming with joy (or other emotions) as you swing like Tarzan or Jane through the lush rainforest. Enjoy an incomparable sense of freedom as you glide across eight interconnected zipline segments, careening from platform to platform with your senses fully engaged – sight, scent, feeling, hearing. Experience the primal pleasure of this mano-a-mano canopy encounter for a full hour, then descend for a cool refreshment break ahead of the return drive to Rodney Bay. You may be back on ground level now, but your imagination will likely remain up in the treetops for days to come. Active excursions are recommended only for those guests in good physical health, with considerable amounts of physical activity.

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.

NEW EXCURSION El Yunque Rainforest with Angelito Trail CODE: SJU-004 DURATION 5.5 HOURS ACTIVITY LEVEL PHYSICALLY FIT Active excursions are recommended only for those guests in good physical health, with considerable amounts of physical activity. El 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 including the coqui frog and rare Puerto Rican parrot. Within the forest, there are many trees known to be over 1000 years old. There is the Tabonuco forest with trees reaching heights in excess of 100'. The Colorado forest contains the short, gnarled trees with hollowed trunks.
