Itinerary

Day 1 Sun ~ Depart Fort Lauderdale,Florida 7:00pm The beautiful surroundings, numerous historic sights, museums, chic sidewalk cafés and a 22-block long waterfront walkway all contribute to this city's captivating appeal. Fort Lauderdale, commonly referred to as "The Venice of America," is the yachting capital of the East Coast and the home of The International Swimming Hall of Fame. From shopping to deep-sea fishing, this city truly has it all. Day 2 Mon ~ At Sea Day 3 Tue ~ Playa Del Carmen, Mexico Arrive 10:00am Depart 4:00pm The once sleepy village of Playa del Carmen doubled twice in population in the last few years. Which is mainly due to Europeans who discovered the alabaster-white beaches, gentle surf, coral reefs and slow lifestyle were the equal of the more expensive island of Cozumel just across the straits. Playa's dock is the pier for the 'people ferry' to Cozumel, so it's only a short trip over to snorkel or dive on Cozumel's incredible coral reefs. Day 4 Wed ~ Georgetown,Grand Cayman Arrive 10:00am Depart 6:00pm Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands with an area of 76 square miles and a population of around 30,000. It is known around the world for its famous Seven Mile Beach. For early birds, an early morning walk along the beach is a wonderful experience. The beaches of Grand Cayman are spectacular and are enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year. Day 5 Thu ~ Montego Bay,Jamaica Arrive 10:00am Depart 6:00pm Montego Bay is a cruise visitor’s delight offering a host of activities and attractions and providing a perfect day off the ship. The sun-kissed white sand beaches are among the most beautiful in the Caribbean. Visitors can tour classic plantation houses, including the famous spooky 18th-century Rose Hall Great House, home of the legendary Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall. Day 6 Fri ~ Day At Sea Day 7 Sat ~ Nassau,Bahamas Arrive 10:00am Depart 7:00pm The port of Nassau is located in the northeastern part of the island of New Providence. Prized for its sheltered harbour, the city made history and preserved it beautifully in Victorian mansions, cathedrals, 18th-century fortresses and a Queen's Staircase whose 66 steps lead to a view not to be missed. Nassau is home to weather-beaten, ancient forts; elegant, noble architecture; and fine local and international crafts and goods, from handmade lengths of batik to Rolex watches. An abundance of posh resort hotels, casinos, cabaret shows, and cruise ship docks make Nassau a vibrant centre for entertainment as well as commerce.
