Grand Turk Island: Charming Cockburn Town, capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is the centrepiece of the little bean-shaped island of Grand Turk. The laid-back capital, with donkeys and horses casually wandering the streets, sports a collection of quaint inns, boutiques and colourful colonial houses.
San Juan: The capital city of Puerto Rico, San Juan is one of the busiest ports in the Caribbean and home to a third of all Puerto Ricans. Nearly every visitor to the island arrives at San Juan, many on cruise liners. It's one of the largest home-based cruise ports in the world, hosting many vessels with more being added each year. It is not only tourism that keeps the financial mills grinding in San Juan. The city is an important centre for petroleum and sugar refining, brewing and distilling, and the manufacturing of cement, pharmaceuticals, metal products and tobacco products. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, there are numerous attractions in San Juan to amuse, entertain and interest many tourists, and the city is a perfect base for exploring the rest of what this small Caribbean island has to offer.
St. Thomas: This vibrant destination in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a Caribbean paradise and the perfect tropical getaway. Colonized in the 18th century by the Danish, who established massive sugarcane plantations there, St. Thomas was later purchased by the United States in the 20th century. A popular stop on Caribbean Cruises, the island boasts a number of exciting excursions sure to impress the adventurous traveler. Hop aboard a sky gondola to find breathtaking aerial views of the island, glide through lush rainforests on a zipline, or snorkel alongside sea turtles in the crystal clear waters. Explore downtown Charlotte Amalie, the island's biggest city, to immerse yourself in St. Thomas's colonial past at Fort Christian or Blackbeard's Castle.
Half Moon Cay: The Half Moon Cay is a natural monument situated at the southeast corner of Lighthouse Reef Atoll. The crescent-shaped caye is a protected marine reserve that was established as a World Heritage Site in 1996. The pristine caye has breath-taking walk-in snorkelling from the beach, idyllic sandy beaches and magnificent wildlife both in the sea and within the littoral forest.
Embark on a culinary adventure like no other aboard our Eastern Caribbean cruise. Indulge in Chef's Specialty meals paired with fine wines, savor French bistro classics, relish upscale Italian dishes, and delight in prime cuts at our specialty steakhouse. With 24/7 cafes, snack bars, and lounges, every craving is met with luxury at sea.
