About the Cruise

Itinerary

Monday, November 20 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Embark

In the 1800s, William Lauderdale built a fort. Today, 16 million visitors come each year for miles of broad white sandy beaches, dozens of lush green golf courses, and Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale. Stroll the famous beachfront promenade, just 15 minutes from the port, and plunge into the warm Atlantic.

Head downtown to Las Olas Boulevard, paralleling New River, to sip lattes in outdoor cafés, shop chic boutiques, and catch concerts at the performing arts center. Stop at Stranahan House, the city's oldest structure, built in 1901 as a trading post and preserved as a museum, or explore a whole village of historic buildings at History Fort Lauderdale. Join a Segway tour along the river or a waterborne cruise of Millionaire's Row. During your cruise to Fort Lauderdale, head out to the Everglades and enjoy Flamingo Gardens, home to pink flamingos, snarling alligators, black bears, and Florida panthers - plus exotic trees, butterfly gardens, and native flowers. You'll find great shopping on Fort Lauderdale cruises. Look for high fashion at Galleria Fort Lauderdale, north of the port and blocks from the ocean. Head west to Sawgrass Mills for 350 designer outlets, specialty shops, and eateries. Spend a relaxing day in downtown Hollywood, south of the port, for quaint shops, sidewalk cafés, and events in the park. Discover Floribbean cuisine, a fusion of old Florida favorites with new Caribbean influences. Local seafood includes lobster, grouper, mahi-mahi, pompano, snapper, tuna, and stone crabs. Florida dominates production of citrus fruits. Before you cruise from Fort Lauderdale, take advantage of anything orange - juices, sauces, marinades, marmalades, dressings, soups, and cakes. Try authentic key lime pie, which is sweet, tart, creamy, and yellow - not green - in a Graham cracker crust.

Tuesday, November 21 - At Sea

Wednesday, November 22 - Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos - Docked

Cruise to Turks and Caicos and experience the sugar-white sand, brilliant blue waters, and the kaleidoscopic sea life that is plentiful in the Caribbean paradise. Without hyperbole, this is one of the world’s most photogenic spots. T&C, as it is sometimes called, is the ultimate fantasy-island destination—the screen saver in all its glorious reality.

Grand Turk, a jewel of an isle that measures just 18 square kilometers (seven square miles), is awesomely rich in natural wonders. Ringed by translucent warm waters teeming with coral and fish, this Turks and Caicos cruise is a bonanza for divers, snorkelers, and anglers. Of course, you can always simply kick back and just enjoy the view from under a palm tree. Or explore the fascinating history of Turks & Caicos in its capital, Cockburn Town, lined with Bermudan-style buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Regardless, your cruise to Turks and Caicos will be relaxing, enjoyable, and truly memorable.

Thursday, November 23 - At Sea

Friday, November 24 - Oranjestad, Aruba, Aruba - Docked

The capital of Aruba is made for walking. Browse the candy-colored townhouses, architectural details, and open-air patios that define this charming Dutch community. Gentle trade winds tame the Caribbean sun, shoo the infrequent rain, and maintain the perfect conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. When it’s beach time, dig your toes into the soft white sand and soak your skin in the warm Caribbean water. After lounging awhile, find spas, restaurants, and bars just steps away. Divers and snorkelers flock to cruise to Aruba for its vibrant coral reefs, neon tropical fish, and eerie old shipwrecks. With just a mask and snorkel, you can watch the fish dart in and out of Antilla, a major wreck. Board a catamaran for a peaceful day of sailing and snorkeling, recharging with a barbecue lunch at Pelican Pier on Palm Beach. Or, venture to De Palm Island for water sliding and banana boat riding. When it’s time to shop, browse Aruba’s boutiques and find the leading designers at Renaissance Mall. Uncover local crafts in the marketplace nearby. Both are close to the port. Aruba serves French fare with a Caribbean twist. Find everything from haute cuisine to casual food. Maybe even discover an ostrich burger on the menu. Of course, the fish doesn’t get any fresher.

Saturday, November 25 - Willemstad, Curacao, Curaçao - Docked

Experience a traditional Dutch cityscape painted in distinctly Caribbean colors. You'll want to stroll the magnificent waterfront, admire the colonial buildings, and explore the backstreet cafés, shops, museums, and galleries of Willemstad. Visit 17th-century Fort Amsterdam in the historic area, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Netherlands established a settlement here in 1634. Today it reflects Spanish and Portuguese styles, as well as Dutch. But on cruises to Curaçao, the sun warms your skin to remind you it's the Caribbean.

Swim with charming, clever dolphins - an unforgettable experience - or go below the surface on a reef dive. View otherworldly stalactites and stalagmites inside Hato Caves and take a trolley tour to learn about Willemstad’s landmarks.

After a day of discovery, sit back, relax, and watch the sun set over a glass of traditional blue curaçao. Landhuis Chobolobo, a 19th-century historic mansion you can tour, is home to the famous liqueur. Curaçao cuisine incorporates Indonesian, as well as Dutch traditions. Try the local waffles, fresh-cut fries drizzled in toppings, and raw herring served with pickles. Favorites include stewed goat, meat wrapped in banana leaves, and others.

In the Punda shopping district, explore Willemstad’s vibrant open-air markets. You'll find traditional blue Delft figurines and wheels of cheese. Otrobanda offers high-end designer options. Browse the Floating Market, the New Market, and the Old Market, too.

Sunday, November 26 - At Sea

Monday, November 27 - Panama Canal / Colon, Panama, Panama - Sightseeing from 6:00 am - 3:00 pm / Docked in Colon

The canal is a marvel of engineering, but the area is also a sanctuary for sloths, eagles, ocelots, and toucans, thanks to a lush rainforest environment and tropical temperatures. As the world’s second-largest duty-free port, Colón offers abundant shopping. It also represents the gateway to numerous sites of ecological interest, including Chagres National Park, a 3,000,000-acre rainforest preserve, and the Gamboa Rainforest Preserve, which lies within Soberania National Park.

Tuesday, November 28 - At Sea

Wednesday, November 29 - George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands - Tendered

When Christopher Columbus discovered the Caymans in 1503, he dubbed them 'Las Tortugas' after the islands' large sea turtle population. Renamed 'Las Gartos,' meaning lizards, and in 1527 'Las Caymanas' for crocodiles, the last appellation finally stuck. Though discovered and charted on earlier maps, the Cayman Islands remained largely unexplored and unsettled until the first recorded English expedition by Sir Francis Drake in 1586, when he made note of the delicious meat of the turtles and their eggs in the ship's log. The island quickly became a deadly lure for ships in search of fresh food and water, and hundreds of wrecks still lie on the bottom as a testament to its treacherous reefs. From 1630 onwards buccaneers made the Caymans their base, and the islands frequently changed hands between Spain and Britain until 1670, when the Treaty of Madrid gave Britain all the islands she currently held. Operated as a dependency of Jamaica, Britain's stronghold in the Caribbean, the Caymans opted to become a direct dependency of the British crown when Jamaica achieved independence in 1962. Grand Cayman's first settlers made their living from the sea, either as turtle fishermen or as buccaneers. But times have changed. Grand Cayman today is the world's largest offshore banking center, with 541 licensed banks and over 20,000 registered companies. The islanders enjoy the highest per capita income in the Caribbean. Grand Cayman is also a premiere dive spot in the Caribbean and her reefs are lined with the hulls of ancient galleons. Green sea turtles still thrive in the crystal clear waters and a multitude of tropical fish populate the reefs and wrecks. George Town, the capital, is full of historical buildings, quaint residential neighborhoods, and shops specializing in shipwreck treasures. Grand Cayman's colorful past of legends and lore mix charmingly with the present to give this small town a very distinctive ambiance.
