Itinerary
- Day 1 – Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida (depart 03:30 PM):
The vibrant gateway to Florida’s Space Coast, Port Canaveral is a place where adventure awaits at every turn. With an abundance of out-of-this-world activities, it can be hard to know where to begin. However, most visitors choose to start their thrilling journey on the sunny shores with a visit to the renowned Kennedy Space Center, a spaceport and visitor complex operated by NASA. Immerse yourself in exhibits and interactive displays that offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and future of space exploration. But the excitement doesn’t end there. Your day continues to look up at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, covering over 140,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness. It serves as a safe haven for a diverse array of plants and animals, making it a birdwatcher’s dream. From the skies to the waterways, you can glide along the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River on a nature cruise in search of playful dolphins and majestic manatees. Alternatively, you can visit the iconic shores of Cocoa Beach, known as the surfing capital of the East Coast and the home of Major Anthony Nelson and Jeannie from the popular 1960s television series “I Dream of Jeannie.” Offering a golden-sand coastline, an abundance of natural adventures, and historical and cultural delights, Port Canaveral will unlock a magical adventure all your own. - Day 2 – Celebration Key, Grand Bahama Island (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 05:00 PM):
On the south side of Grand Bahama Island, Celebration Key has so much to offer. Consisting of five portals, including an adults-only area, there is something to do for everyone. Whether you want to lounge, swim, shop, eat or explore, the choice is yours. You can eat and drink a variety of island flavors. The menus feature lobster, conch fritters, coconut shrimp and other fresh, local seafood. - Day 3 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 4 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 5 – Tortola, British Virgin Islands (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
Once known as a hideaway for pirates and freebooters, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are today a lure for sun worshippers and yachtsmen alike. Constant trade winds along the Sir Francis Drake Channel make for ideal sailing conditions, while the secluded beaches, incredible vistas, and friendly inhabitants make the islands a wonderful place to visit. Tortola, the largest island in the BVI, is home to Road Town, the islands’ capital. Browse the many small shops, enjoy a drink at a harbor café, or simply relax on the spectacular beach at Cane Garden Bay. The island’s mountainous terrain makes for fabulous views. On a clear day, you can glimpse the U.S. Virgin Islands. For a real treat, take a ferry across the channel to Virgin Gorda, home of the famous Baths. At this unique beach, gigantic boulders create secluded coves and form picturesque grottos. - Day 6 – St. Maarten (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 04:00 PM):
St. Maarten offers a delightful case of split personality. Legend has it that a Frenchman and a Dutchman divided ownership of the island through a walk-off: Standing back to back, the two headed in opposite directions, walking around the island until they met. Perhaps the Dutchman paused for a refreshing brew. At any rate, the French ended up claiming 21 square miles of the island to 16 square miles for the Dutch. This lively tale says much about St. Maarten’s easygoing ways. No formal boundary exists between the Dutch and French sides of the island; a simple welcome sign tells you when you cross from one country to the other. But the differences are as noticeable as the spelling of the island’s name. The French spell it St. Martin. And it’s this split personality that lends so much to the island’s charms, including an international reputation for the finest cuisine in the Caribbean. - Day 7 – Martinique (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
To the Arawak, Martinique was their treasured “isle of flowers.” Lying in the Lesser Antilles between Dominica and St. Lucia, the island is a tropical paradise of dense rain forest, rolling savanna and stunning beaches. The rich volcanic soil nourishes banana plantations and pineapple fields as well as mangoes, papayas, lemons, limes, and West Indian cherries. Little wonder that Columbus praised Martinique as the “best, most fertile, most delightful, and most charming land in the world.” Martinique’s cultural heritage is as rich and bountiful as its soil. The island has been governed by France for over three centuries. Today an overseas department of France, the island boasts a culture that is a unique and zesty blend of French, Caribbean, African and Middle Eastern influences, resulting in that spicy combination called Créole. Créole culture is reflected in Martinique’s architecture, cuisine, language, and music. For years the mayor of Fort-de-France was the internationally acclaimed Créole poet Aimé Césaire. Five centuries after Columbus made his landfall, Martinique remains a rare flower in the Caribbean. - Day 8 – St. Lucia (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 05:00 PM):
Nestled below the Pitons, twin peaks rising over 2,600 feet above the azure waters of the Caribbean, St. Lucia is an oasis of tropical calm. The island’s capital, Castries, is a town of charming, pastel-colored colonial buildings, home to some 60,000. Yet despite its peaceful setting, St. Lucia has a turbulent and colorful history. Fierce Carib warriors overran the peaceful Arawaks in the 9th century. The first European settler, Francois Le Clerc, was a French buccaneer. Le Clerc’s countrymen followed in his wake, establishing the town of Soufriere in 1746. Sugar was the lure, sugar was king. Within four decades some 50 plantations flourished on the island. Thus St. Lucia became part of the Caribbean’s 18th-century trade triangle of sugar, slavery, and rum. Today this beautiful island welcomes visitors drawn to its exotic tropical landscape, superb beaches, crystalline waters, and colorful marine life. - Day 9 – Antigua (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
The largest of the British Leeward Islands, Antigua (pronounced an-tee-ga) boasts one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular coastlines with secluded coves and sun drenched beaches. The island’s rolling hills are dotted with stone sugar mills, relics from the bygone era when sugar was king. Historic Nelson’s Dockyard, where Admiral Horatio Nelson quartered his fleet in 1784, attests to Antigua’s long and colorful nautical history during colonial times. And St. John’s, the island’s bustling capital, offers visitors a wealth of boutiques, restaurants and pubs. - Day 10 – St. Kitts (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 04:00 PM):
Jagged volcanoes soaring above azure and turquoise seas, dense rainforests in myriad shades of green, rolling fields of sugarcane–welcome to St. Kitts. Along with its neighbor, Nevis, St. Kitts presents an exotic landscape more common to Polynesia than the Caribbean. The islands’ terrain, rich soil, and climate made them ideal locations for raising sugarcane. In fact, St. Kitts and Nevis were once the crown jewels of the Caribbean. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Spain, France and England vied for control of the islands, with the English finally winning out in 1787. Today, British and French heritage is evident on both islands. Basseterre, the capital of St. Kitts, boasts fine, restored colonial buildings. Impressive Brimstone Hill Fortress, called the “Gibraltar of the West Indies,” is one of the most impressive fortresses in the Caribbean. - Day 11 – St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (arrive 09:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
The US Virgin Islands are America’s paradise, offering an easygoing blend of island ways and American practicality. St. Thomas, capital of the island group, offers every imaginable sport: snorkeling, golfing, hiking, and sailing. Just a few miles away lay St. John and Virgin Islands National Park. Stunning mountain scenery, crystalline waters, and white-sand beaches with palms swaying in the breeze – the US Virgin Islands are truly a slice of paradise. The harbor is easily one of the Caribbean’s most scenic. The United States purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark for $25 million in gold. St. Thomas has a reputation as a duty free-mecca for shopping. - Day 12 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 13 – Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 04:00 PM):
Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a small island bursting with turn-of-the-century Caribbean charm, retaining the look and feel of the Caribbean 40 years ago. Grand Turk was founded by Bermudan salt rakers some three centuries ago and its Bermudan-British-colonial architecture surrounded by colorful local dwellings make the island a treasure to visit. It is recognized as being one of the first places in the New World where Christopher Columbus landed and also gained worldwide attention when John Glenn splashed down near Grand Turk on his historic first mission to space. Grand Turk is six miles long and just over a mile wide with a population of only 6,000. It is blessed with miles of uncrowded, beautiful beaches and is close to several uninhabited cays such as Gibb’s Cay, home of the stingray encounter. While there are many landside attractions to explore such as the Old Prison, Lighthouse Park, and the re-created salt salina, the real beauty of the island lies underwater. Grand Turk is world-famous for its healthy and beautiful coral reefs that surround the island, stretching almost from the coastline to the 7,000-foot vertical wall just offshore. - Day 14 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 15 – Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida (arrive 07:00 AM):
