Norwegian Cruise Line Eastern Caribbean

Puerto Plata is the Dominican Republic’s oldest city in the north and a tourism pioneer. Nestled by the ocean with a mountainous backdrop, the city offers a lively pier, which is known as the Malecon, colourful shops and opulent homes from the 1800s. The city is famous for Parque Independencia (also known as Parque Central), a park fringed by royal palms and Victorian architecture. In Puerto Plata, you can hop on a cable car for sky-high views, take a tour of the local cacao farms and buy some of the clearest amber in the world.

Most visitors arrive at the US Virgin Islands via St Thomas, and the place knows how to strike a first impression. Jungly cliffs poke high in the sky, red-hipped roofs blossom over the hills, and all around the turquoise, yacht-dotted sea laps. St Thomas is the most commercialized of the Virgins, with cruise-ship traffic and big resorts galore, but it’s also a fine island to sharpen your knife and fork, and kayak through mangrove lagoons.

Start living on “Island Time” when you arrive on Tortola. The largest of the British Virgin Islands, Tortola is a perfect location to experience at your own pace. Hike the lush interior hills or scale Sage Peak—Tortola’s highest point—for a view you’ll never forget. Afterward, relax on Tortola’s many world-renowned beaches, or go on a windsurfing adventure along the island’s southern coast.
