Just move to the rhythm of the ever-present salsa beat and you’ll be in the spirit in no time (secret – it’s all in the hips). Old Town San Juan is still partially enclosed by the original fortress walls dating back to the early 1500s. Attractively restored buildings with filigree cast iron balconies line its narrow cobbled streets, and cafés in shaded squar... ### Day 2: Charlotte Amalie **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM This stunning harbor, filled with pleasure boats and encircled by emerald hills dotted with pastel houses, was once the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling knaves such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie. Today many of their old warehouses have been converted to shops and malls, where you may spend your pieces of eight on an array of treasures those buccaneers could never have imagined. Not a shopper? Hit the water without walking the pla... ### Day 3: Virgin Gorda, BVI **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Local lore has it that the unusual shape of this little bit of paradise reminded Christopher Columbus of a reclining, voluptuous woman, so he named it Virgin Gorda, the "Fat Virgin." She is suitably adorned with dramatic heights that plunge down from Gorda Peak to the sparkling turquoise waters far below. This is a good place to explore in a jeep, swim with dolphins, or hike the rugged trails throughout the island. Virgin Gorda is most famous for The Baths, where giant granite boulders are strew... ### Day 4: St. Johns, Antigua **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM When you spy the distinctive white baroque towers of the St. Johns Cathedral, you’ll know you have arrived in Antigua’s capital city. With a staggering 365 beaches located across the island, you can visit a new beach every day of the year. But if you only have limited time to catch some rays, take a boat tour around Antigua for a unique vantage point to find the right strand of sand that speaks to you. If you’re still undecided, Galley Bay Beach is popular and is the perfect place to put y... ### Day 5: Gustavia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM St. Barts is a tropical paradise with a French flair. Red rooftops cluster on deep green hillsides, and front an irresistibly blue bay. Tranquil lagoons and dozens of creamy white sand beaches vie for your attention with chic boutiques and French restaurants, and the air is filled with mingling scents of frangipani and fresh baguettes. Explore the dramatic scenery in your own ATV, cruise the coast in a speedboat, or hike to a secluded cove for a swim. ### Day 6: St. Pierre, Martinique **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM ### Day 7: Port Elizabeth, Bequia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM ### Day 8: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 9: Scarborough, Trinidad **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Known for its stunning beaches, rich cultural heritage, and bustling marketplaces, Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago, offers visitors a vibrant taste of Caribbean life. Whether lounging on the sands of Pigeon Point Beach or exploring the historic Fort King George, Scarborough promises an unforgettable blend of relaxation and exploration. ### Day 10: Mayreau **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Paradise found. No crowds of tourists, no hotels, just a resident population of about 250 in one village on the island’s highest hill (with its most spectacular views). Spend the morning aboard a catamaran exploring the waters around the Tobago Cays, five petite, uninhabited islets floating in a marine park of coral, and turtle and bird sanctuaries. Snorkel the reef off Mopion Island, a speck of sand in a crystal sea, without so much as a palm tree – just one large thatch umbrella. No doubt ... ### Day 11: Bridgetown **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM If you were to close your eyes while enjoying a "high tea in Trafalgar Square," you would swear you were in London - if it weren't for the warm breezes and emerald green waters enveloping you. Nicknamed "Little England" by some, Barbados is home to many museums that chronicle the island's rich past and over 100 shipwrecks along its reefs that are a playground for divers from around the world. ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $3,079 | | Ocean View | $3,279 | | Balcony | $3,979 | | Suite | $6,179 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **Interior Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: Z) — From $-110 Interior Stateroom - Guaranteed ### Outside Cabins **Oceanview Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: Y) — From $1,270 Oceanview Stateroom - Guaranteed **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 05) — From $1,730 Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 06) — From $1,630 Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 04) — From $1,830 Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom (Obstructed View)** (Code: 08) — From $1,430 Features: Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Refrigerator with mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room saf... ### Balcony Cabins **Club Veranda Plus Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: XP) — From $3,610 Stateroom Features Veranda Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Sitting area with 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB ports under bedside reading lamps Stateroom: 175 sq.... **Club Veranda Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: X) — From $2,640 Two lower beds convertible to queen size.
