Sail roundtrip from historic San Juan in the heart of the Caribbean and explore a different island culture virtually every day. Barbados and St. Kitts combine the best of Britain and the West Indies. St. Lucia evokes French savoir faire. St. Maarten's unique atmosphere is half Dutch. And St. Thomas is packed with history dating back to Bluebeard the Pirate.
Ports include:
St. Maarten
This charming island, half Dutch and half French, is packed with adventures. There are informative Island tours, golf, relaxing white-sand beaches, island artists, sportfishing and an exhilarating America's Cup sailing regatta.
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.
St. Kitts
Tour Basseterre, a quaint port city, explore a sugar factory or take the views from Monkey Hill.
St. Lucia
TThis is paradise in the Caribbean. The lush forests, the twin peaks of the Pitons, the loverly Marigot Bay and the charming French atmosphere of Castries, the capitol city are all impossible to forget.
San Juan
For a glimpse of Old Spain, take a stroll into the 16th century in San Juan.

Dawn Princess, the second ship in Princess' 1.6 billion-dollar Grand Class expansion and a twin to Sun Princess is so imaginatively conceived and so tastefully decorated, you literally won't believe your eyes.
