Itinerary
Day 1-2

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Following your flight to Puerto Rico you will be transferred to your hotel for a one night stay. In the morning you will be transferred to the port to board your ship.

Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colourful colonial buildings. Learn how to move as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamourous boutiques for artisan goods, decadent designers, and hand-rolled cigars. Experience world-class surfing, explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum cocktail tasting and polish off empanadas. Then retire to the beautiful beaches to soak up the crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.

Day 3

Gustavia, St. Barthélemy

Mingle among other discerning guests on this French isle that exudes relaxed glamour. Wander among secluded beaches, harbourside Creole huts, drop into Bohemian bars and snorkel gently though warm turquoise waters. Visit La Tourmente, the peaceful salt ponds and admire uninterrupted views on a local boat trip. And as you sip your second (or third) glass of champagne to the lull of gentle waves, it might be time to learn the French for “paradise found”.

Day 4

St. John’s, Antigua

An adrenaline rush awaits. Swim with stingrays. Zip-line through lush forests. Walk across a gorge on a scenic suspension bridge. Sip excellent aged rums. Taste the island with a chef. Or stroll St. John’s old town to tour cottages laden with cheerful fretwork. Explore British forts atop Shirley Heights and Goat Hill. Then rest and rejuvenate with VIP reservations at one of Anguilla’s snow-white beaches and enjoy a cosy lounger and rum drinks.

Day 5

Basseterre (St. Kitts), Saint Kitts and Nevis

Formed by volcanoes, St. Kitts soil is so fertile it turns monkeys green. Trek through miles of rainforest amongst colourful wildlife to conquer the highest peak of Mount Liamuiga so you can peer into the mile-wide crater, or bravely descend to sniff the sulphur. Experience a train ride, sailing trip, cooking class, sky safari zip-line, or creative batik fabric workshops. Visit sugarcane plantations, the Narrows between St. Kitts and Nevis and the UNESCO Brimstone Hill Fortress for spectacular views of neighbouring islands. You’ll find this special island small in size yet tall in standing, as well as big on charm.

Day 6

Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands

Slip into a tranquil, tropical paradise of sparkling waters, coral reefs and powder white beaches. Switch off and slowly shop, swim, snorkel, and sip within the peace of sand, sea and sky. Sink into a beachside boulder-forming pool at The Baths, admire spectacular villas scattered on the Great Mountain, sit back on a safari bus ride or sunbathe aboard a catamaran. Prepare to be mesmerised by this softly-lit, sun-drenched heaven.

Day 7-8

At Sea

Enjoy the fabulous facilities on board.

Day 9

Miami, Florida

Your cruise comes to an end as you sail into Miami harbour. You will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Dublin.
