Cartagena’s beautifully preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with winding alleys, vibrant displays of architecture and iconic churches. Explore islands offshore, swim in the crystalline waters, and be sure to sample the ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: Oranjestad, Aruba **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM The long, narrow island of Aruba, located just 15 miles from Venezuela's coast, has a dry, sunny climate year-round. Its distinctive beauty lies in the stark contrast between the sea and countryside. Next to arid deserts, which host an array of wild rock formations, curiously bent divi-divi trees and cactus jungles, are magnificent beaches that shelve into transparent blue waters. Aruba has become one of the most popular playgrounds in the Caribbean, boasting sophisticated resorts and casinos. ### Day 4: Willemstad **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 11:00 PM Willemstad is the capital city of Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island. It’s known for its old town center, with pastel-colored colonial architecture. The floating Queen Emma Bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods across Sint Anna Bay. By the water is the 19th-century Rif Fort, now housing a shopping center. City restaurants serve dishes influenced by the island's mostly Dutch and Afro-Caribbean cuisines. ### Day 5: Kralendijk **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Pointe a Pitre/Guadeloupe **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe’s largest city, is situated on a limestone plateau on the island of Grande-Terre. The city’s structures were built with shipping and the growth of that industry in mind, and locals, lovingly referred to as "Pointois," contribute to this continued progress and economic expansion by exporting food crops, animal products and manufactured goods. Visitors enjoy strolling the narrow lanes along the waterfront or shopping the colorful market stalls of the Marché Couvert. ### Day 8: Marigot Bay, St. Martin, French West Indies **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Explore the classic capital on the French side of St. Martin. Marigot is home to luxury boutiques, plenty of outdoor activities, and eclectic outdoor markets with tempting pastries, homegrown produce and fresh seafood. ### Day 9: San Juan, Puerto Rico **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Rich in history, La Fortaleza is the oldest governor’s mansion in the western hemisphere; be sure to see the mahogany clock which stopped in time when the last Spanish governor of Puerto Rico struck it with his sword on his way out, heralding the last moment of Spanish rule in the New World. ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Ocean View | $3,480 | | Balcony | $4,380 | | Suite | $4,110 | ## Cabin Options ### Outside Cabins **Double Guest Room with Ocean View** (Code: CSWM) Contemporary classic bedroom redesigned in 2023, with butler service and impressive windows onto ocean views.
