select to open Fort Lauderdale pictures - Opens a dialog

Fort Lauderdale is a city on Florida's southeastern coast, known for its beaches and boating canals. The Strip is a promenade running along oceanside highway A1A. It's lined with upscale outdoor restaurants, bars, boutiques, and luxury hotels. Other attractions include the International Swimming Hall of Fame, with pools and a museum of memorabilia, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, featuring trails and a lagoon.

Day 2 Cruising
Day 3 Cruising
Day 4 Port of Call Saint Maarten Arrival 9:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

With an area of only 37 square miles, the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin is the smallest land mass in the world to be divided between two governments. Its dual owners are the Dutch and the French, who have shared the tiny and paradisical island more or less peacefully for almost 350 years. This understated absence of conflict testifies to one of the island's most precious and attractive characteristics--its unusual serenity.Situated about 150 miles east of Puerto Rico, Dutch St. Maarten (the French spell it St. Martin) covers 16 square miles of the southern part of the island, an area marked by verdant, rolling hills that languidly rest above mile after mile of beach, salt pond, and lagoon. Although the region falls under the government of the Netherlands Antilles and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, its diversity and the strong influence of West-Indian traditions make its culture anything but exclusively Dutch. St. Maarten's atmosphere is a winning blend of Caribbean hospitality and European sophistication.

Day 5 Port of Call Saint Kitts Arrival 7:00am Departure 5:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Saint Kitts pictures - Opens a dialog

St. Kitts is the largest of the 2 Caribbean islands that comprise the nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It’s known for its rainforested mountains and beaches of white, gray, and black sands. On its southwestern coast are the capital, Basseterre, and Georgian buildings from the colonial era. Anchoring Basseterre is the Circus, a plaza modeled after London’s Piccadilly Circus, complete witha Victorian-style clock tower.

Day 6 Port of Call Fort-de-France Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Fort-de-France pictures - Opens a dialog

Mountainous Martinique, also known as the “Land of Flowers,” is certainly one of the most colorful islands in the Caribbean. Acres of fertile soil account for lush tropical vegetation and an abundance of flowers, vast stretches of banana plantations, pineapple fields, and green seas of sugarcane. The 425-square-mile island is the largest of the Windward Islands. With its great diversity of towering mountains, verdant rain forests, beaches, and French-Caribbean ambiance, Martinique appeals to a wide spectrum of visitors.

Day 7 Port of Call Dominica Arrival 7:00am Departure 5:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Dominica pictures - Opens a dialog

This 290-square-mile (750 sq km) island is a must for eco-tourists, naturalists, botanists, divers, and visitors seeking holiday adventure. Dominica is one of the few Caribbean islands that has truly changed very little since Columbus visited and named it 500 years ago. Known as the Nature Island of the Caribbean, Dominica has a unique microclimate – lush rainforests, volcanic peaks, thundering waterfalls, cloud-covered hills, sulfur springs, pools of bubbling therapeutic mud, and hot mineral streams. This tropical wonderland has 365 rivers, many of them providing excellent swimming. The exotic animals and plants that have been wiped out on nearby islands thrive here. Nature is spectacularly and uncontrollably rampant. When you hike through the island's forests, you are as close to nature as it is possible to get. Rich in ferns, wild orchids, and giant, flowering trees, they are home to bats, iguanas, stick insects, and blacksmith beetles so big they can be heard moving about on the forest floor. There are five species of snakes – none of them poisonous – and more than 160 bird species, including two endemic but endangered parrots, making Dominica a magnet for bird watchers. Some of the island’s most dramatic sights can be seen in the 17,000-acre (69sq km) Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a designated World Natural Heritage Site. Here you’ll see mist-veiled peaks looming over the rainforest and marvel at the Boiling Lake, where sulfurous springs sizzle and steam at up to 197F (92C). Sealife off the island is equally awe-inspiring. There are excellent dive sites with peaks, sheer walls, valleys, and hot springs on the seabed. In the winter breeding season – November to March – humpback, pilot whales, and especially sperm whales and their calves can be seen in the deep, calm offshore waters. Whale-watching trips are very popular with visitors. Another vital aspect of Dominica is that it is now the home of 3,000 surviving descendants of the Caribs, the pre-Columbian people who gave the Caribbean its name. Although the Carib language has perished, they have their territory, where their baskets and wood carvings are sold to visitors and some of their traditions are maintained, such as whaling. The capital, Roseau, is the best base from which to journey into the interior. It’s a quiet town where, although English is the country’s official language, you’ll hear the French-based Creole patois spoken in the streets, markets, cafes, and many rum shops. Night-life is usually calm and relaxed except, perhaps, when the island hosts the annual three-day World Creole Music Festival, attracting star singers and musicians from throughout the French-speaking Caribbean, the United States, Africa, and Europe. Dominica welcomes tourists who want to see more – and help protect – its unique natural wonders.

Day 8 Port of Call St. George's/Grenada Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

 
select to open St. George's/Grenada pictures - Opens a dialog

Saint George's or Saint George, town (1991 pop. 4,439), capital of Grenada, in the West Indies. A port town on a deep and beautiful harbor, it is the administrative headquarters of the country and a growing tourist center. Chief exports are cacao, nutmeg, and mace. St. George's was the capital of the former British colony of the Windward Islands.

Day 9 Port of Call Port Spain/Trinidad-Tobago Arrival 7:00am Departure 5:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Port Spain/Trinidad-Tobago pictures - Opens a dialog

Port of Spain is still one of the most active commercial cities in the Caribbean. The cultural scene is as vital as ever, especially during the country's riotous Carnival -- a period of festivities, concerts, and shows that begins after Christmas and culminates in a two-day street parade that ends on Ash Wednesday. The capital is home to around 300,000 of Trinidad's 1.3 million residents -- Africans, Indians, Americans, Europeans, and Asians, each culture with its language and customs. About a quarter of the population is Hindu, which is why there's an abundance of East Indian festivals, religious celebrations, and delicious East Indian food.

Day 10 Cruising
Day 11 Port of Call Aruba Arrival 10:00am Departure 10:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Aruba pictures - Opens a dialog

Aruba's path to the present day is marked by the mystery of ochre-colored rock drawings left behind by island shamans, the enterprising spirit of European adventurers and settlers, and the diverse experiences and traditions brought by the many nationalities that have since sought out the island as either a new home or temporary resting place. The look of the people, the languages they speak, and the innate hospitality that manifests itself in the Aruban psyche are the result of a multicultural mix that reflects a rich past.

Day 12 Port of Call Curacao Arrival 7:00am Departure 4:00pm

Overview

 
select to open Curacao pictures - Opens a dialog

Curacao is a long, arid, and generally flat island, stretching some 40 miles (64 km) from southeast to northwest, at much the same north-south angles as its sister islands in the ABC group (Aruba to the west and Bonaire to the east). The island is about 10 miles (16 km) at its widest point, and the area is about 180 square miles (472 square km), making it the largest island in the Netherlands Antilles group. The coastline along the south is irregular, peppered with small bays and inlets, including the spectacular bays and beaches at the west end of the island. The largest bays are located along the central-east and east end of the island, where you'll find the capital and major port of Willemstad. Most of Curacao's 170,000 residents live in and around this historic town. The long north coast of the island, buffeted by constant northeast trade winds, is characterized by rough cocoastlinelimestone cliff formations set on top of eons-old volcanic rock, and weather-beaten terrain. It is generally less inhabited than the south coast, but you will find smaller villages and many of the island's famous landhuis, or old plantation house structures here. The west end of the island is also characterized by expansive, hilly terrain, most of it encompassed by Christoffel Park. The 4,500-acre (1,820-hectare) park contains Mt. Christoffel, at 1,239 feet (377 meters) the highest elevation in Curacao. The east end of the island comprises a flat and mostly barren plain, with few settlements and some secondary roads weaving to and from its coastal inlets. With an average of 20 inches (510 mm) of rainfall yearly, Curacao is generally a dry island. There are few standing bodies of water save some saline ponds, and most of the island's water is provided by a large desalinization plant found on the south coast.
