12 Feb '28Cruise overview
This in-depth exploration of the Caribbean begins with two days enjoying all our beautiful ship has to offer as we make our way to the pretty harbor of Road Town in Tortola, one of the British Virgin Islands. A trio of tropical delights is next: shopping and people-watching in glamorous Gustavia, St. Barts; hiking in the lush green hills around Roseau, Dominica; and exploring the ruins of 17th-century Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. Our voyage then calls at the pretty-pastel streets of San Juan, Puerto Rico’s lively capital, before a relaxing day at sea takes us to St. John’s in Antigua, an island that claims a beach for every day of the year, and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, for a flavor of its rich Creole culture. Next comes Castries in Saint Lucia, home to one of the region’s largest churches, and Grenada, to stock up on some of its famous fresh spices. Now to tick off three islands once ruled by the Dutch: take a stroll around the colonial streets in the shade of the mimosa trees in Kralendijk, Bonaire; see the oldest synagogue in the Americas at Willemstad in Curaçao; and explore the cacti-studded dunes near Oranjestad in Aruba. A final rejuvenating day at sea takes us to our final port of call, the atmospheric Spanish colonial city of Cartagena in Colombia.
Itinerary
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Like many southeast Florida neighbors, Fort Lauderdale has long been revitalizing. In a state where gaudy tourist zones often stand aloof from workaday downtowns, Fort Lauderdale exhibits consistency at both ends of the 2-mile Las Olas corridor. The sparkling look results from upgrades both downtown and on the beachfront. Matching the downtown’s innovative arts district, cafés, and boutiques is an equally inventive beach area, with hotels, cafés, and shops facing an undeveloped shoreline, and new resort-style hotels replacing faded icons of yesteryear. Despite wariness of pretentious overdevelopment, city leaders have allowed a striking number of glittering high-rises. Nostalgic locals and frequent visitors fret over the diminishing vision of sailboats bobbing in waters near downtown; however, Fort Lauderdale remains the yachting capital of the world, and the water toys don’t seem to be going anywhere.
