Ports include:
San Juan
For a glimpse of Old Spain, take a stroll into the 16th century in San Juan.
Barbados
Enjoy the pink-tinged coral sand on the lovely beaches, the sugar cane fields, the quaint British influences and the many sport and sightseeing opportunities. The capital of Bridgetown is a great place to start. Barbados is a wonderland of natural caverns, a flower forest and rare animals. Sugar cane plantations and craggy beaches unfold before your eyes from the top of St. John's Church. Stop into a rum shop for a sip of the local drink, or participate in the formality of British high tea.
St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
Souvenir hunters can go wild in this duty-free shopping mecca. Sightseers can tour by helicopter or submarine. And we have excursions for photography buffs, golfers, divers, sailors and those just looking to relax on the beach.
Casa de Campo, Dominican republic
A beautiful resort town located on the Dominican Coast, Casa de Campo offers vast stretches of white sand beaches and activities sure to delight the entire family. Watersports beckon, including windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing.
St. George, Grenada
Inhale deeply as you step onto the Island of Spice where everything from nutmeg to cinnamon to cocoa grows in abundance. Collect some of these seasonings at the busy market square or watch the water tumble at the Annandale Falls.
St. Johns, Antigua
Locals say there is a beach for every day of the year on Antigua. This paradise is world-renowned for its crystal-clear waters and velvety sands -- the perfect haven for sunbathers, snorkelers or swimmers. Visit Nelson's Dockyard for a taste of nautical history. Or purchase some of the island's wares, Cavalier Rum, hot pepper sauces, pottery and straw baskets.
