Also there will be a private “Meet & Greet” with Darryl and Andrea, and as with previous cruises, each of them is delighted to visit with you as you see them “around the ship.”

PORTS OF CALL
St. Kitts & Nevis
A cruise to St. Kitts will take you to Basseterre, the island’s bustling capital, an intriguing mix of whimsically colorful Caribbean architecture and stately Georgian buildings that date back to the 18th century.
St. Kitts and Nevis, its sleepy neighbor, may be small, but both islands offer plenty to see. Explore lush rainforest dominated by towering volcanoes, or unwind on long, sandy beaches. Admire the vibrant coral reefs and green, rolling countryside. Visit Brimstone Hill Fortress, one of the most impressive military structures you’ll see on a Caribbean cruise. There are also grand old country estates to explore, and a vintage railway to carry you through verdant landscapes and along the surf-pounded coastline.
St. John’s, Antigua
Colorful St. John’s will be your port of call on a cruise to Antigua, a coral island fringed by no less than 365 white sand beaches. St. John’s itself dates back more than 300 years. Alongside the brightly colored buildings in shades of turquoise, coral pink, and sunshine yellow, you’ll find stately old buildings and solid forts.
As well as history and abundant shopping, you’ll find that St. John’s is the perfect gateway on your Caribbean cruise to the rest of the island’s charms. Sail through aquamarine seas on a catamaran, kayak through the mangroves, hike rainforest trails, or join a tour along the beach on horseback. Explore historic Nelson’s Dockyard, or head up to Shirley Heights Lookout for breathtaking views of English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour. Of course, you could just take your pick of those incredible beaches and spend your day relaxing on a beach chair with an ice-cold rum punch, too.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, historic sites, culinary experiences, and outdoor adventures—discover the many sides of Puerto Rico on a cruise from San Juan. The 100-mile long island is packed with a diverse array of experiences, from spirited salsa music to serene coral reefs, 16th century UNESCO World Heritage structures, and pastel buildings lining cobblestone streets.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
A Puerto Plata cruise brings you to an idyllic coastline of high mountains, lush rainforest, and long, sandy beaches. Days here are all about adventure, from the rock slides and natural pools of the 27 Charcos de Damajagua to a marine reserve where you can paddleboard through the mangroves in search of the endangered manatee. Or embark on an off-road adventure, soar on a thrilling zipline, or take a tour of a local coffee plantation.
There’s fascinating history found in Puerto Plata, a bustling city displaying handsome Victorian architecture and an intoxicating zest for life. Or perhaps the glorious beaches will be the highlight of your Caribbean cruise to the Dominican Republic. There are miles of them, with golden sand, colorful reefs to explore, and cool beach clubs in which to relax and unwind.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale has a little bit of everything: smooth, white sandy beaches, endless shopping on Las Olas Boulevard, and the Atlantic Ocean welcoming you to swim almost year-round. Once a spring break town, Fort Lauderdale is now known as the “Venice of America” for its intricate system of canals and lush tropical landscape. Head to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park for trails and biking blanketed by mangroves. Travel down the Florida Everglades on an airboat tour, complete with alligator and flamingo sightings. Or beat the heat with a trip to the Museum of Science and Discovery in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where kids and adults alike will learn something new.
