Speak to a Cruise Expert

Day 1 - San Juan

Arrive: Thu 02 April 2026 / Depart: Thu 02 April 2026 at 17:00

Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic Old 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 glamorous 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 one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.

Day 2 - St John's, Antigua

Arrive: Fri 03 April 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Fri 03 April 2026 at 20:00

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. 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 cozy lounger and rum drinks.

Day 3 - Gustavia, Saint Barthelemy

Arrive: Sat 04 April 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Sat 04 April 2026 at 22:00

Mingle amongst other discerning guests on this French isle that exudes relaxed glamour. Wander along secluded beaches, harbourside Creole huts, drop into bohemian bars and snorkel gently through 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 the gentle waves, it might be time to learn the French for "paradise found".

Day 4 - At Sea

Day 5 - Puerto Plata/Dominican Republic

Arrive: Mon 06 April 2026 at 09:00

Day 5 - Puerto Plata/Dominican Republic

Day 7 - Key West

Arrive: Wed 08 April 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Wed 08 April 2026 at 18:00

Key West might end at Florida’s most southern point, but here is the start of real laid-back life. Nearer Cuba than Miami, this last in line of small coral reefed islands is famed for history, culture, fishing, cuisine, and candy-coloured homes. Surf, snorkel, shop by appointment and attend a private seafood tasting. Hop aboard the Old Town Trolley tour, visit Hemingway’s quirky former house, study over 50 different butterflies at the Butterfly & Nature Conservatory and watch leggy flamingos strut their stuff. Key West is not just a deep tan Floridan beach town, it’s a way of life, with the only rule being to come as you please.

Day 8 - Miami

Arrive: Thu 09 April 2026 at 07:00 / Depart: Thu 09 April 2026 at 17:00

Welcome to Miami and the sweep of South Beach - backdrop to every iconic Miami movie, and forefront of Latin American culture. Stroll through pastel-hued geometric buildings in the art deco district, to graffiti mural masterpieces at Wynwood Walls. Watch Latino life unfold in Little Havana - the heartbeat of this great city - where walk-up windows sell café cortadito, sweet sugarcane juice, hatuey beer and guava ice-cream. Watch passionate locals discuss politics, play dominoes and smoke cigars. Shimmy at a salsa class, shop designer boutiques and race marlin and sharks by speedboat. Then slow your pace to uncover rare and endangered species at the Everglades National Park outdoor oasis. You’ll find the Miami dream is real – and it’s not just Cuban heels that will give you a spring in your step.

Day 9 - At Sea

Day 10 - At Sea

Day 11 - Kings Wharf, Bermuda

Arrive: Sun 12 April 2026 at 09:00

Picture a charming little island awash in peaceful pastels, and Bermuda – with its heavenly pink-sand beaches and endless turquoise ocean – can’t be far off. Explore the beautiful shallow reefs that have played a key role in Atlantic maritime history, the shipwrecks here casting Bermuda and its 300 coral atolls as one of the world’s best diving destinations; or seek Bermuda’s superlative ocean-fronted fairways, surrounded by sun-bathed swaying palms and rich birdsong. Wander back through time amid the winding streets, colourful houses and pillar-box red phonebooths in whimsically British St George’s and Hamilton, and then leap back into the here-and-now art galleries, restaurants and boutiques tapping into the island’s breezy, blue-chip scene.

Arrive: Sun 19 April 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Sun 19 April 2026 at 18:00

The gothic facade of Igreja de São Sebastião and the gilded carvings of Igreja de São José are a man-made prelude to the natural wonders of São Miguel, Mother Nature’s incubator. Venture into the village of Furnas and its volcanic caldera, flecked with steaming geysers and mineral-rich springs shrouded in Azorean cloud forest and misty waterfalls. Then delve into the sublime world of Sete Cidades, an epic landscape of crater lakes and pine-covered slopes, where the lost city of Atlantis lies submerged.

Go back in time - where cobbled streets clatter with horse drawn carriages, culture and history seeps through this Spanish city’s soul. Enjoy locally produced tapas and admire the form of iconic Andalusian horses. Drift into tasting tours at sherry wineries in Jerez, then step out to twirl the flamenco. Explore Seville’s architectural marvels; baroque churches, palaces, gothic cathedrals, aristocratic mansions and medieval buildings. With no less than three Unesco World Heritage sites to visit, you’ll feel truly inspired by what Cadiz has to offer.

Day 22 - Malaga

Arrive: Thu 23 April 2026 at 09:00 / Depart: Thu 23 April 2026 at 23:30

Enjoy the epitome of Spanish charm. Slowly discover Andalusian riches to reveal Picasso’s birthplace, the Alhambra in Granada, Mezquita in Cordoba and the Ronda valley. Explore ancient heritage sites, dance the flamenco, dare to hike the Caminito del Rey trail and delve into white villages sprinkled amongst mango groves and avocado orchards. Sip cocktails by day and sangria by night. And as you watch the sun slip down, reflect upon this gateway of delights.

Day 23 - At Sea

Day 24 - Barcelona

Arrive: Sat 25 April 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 25 April 2026

Breathe in the cultural heart of Catalan; an elegant blend of high energy and undisturbed tradition. Muse over the origins of captivating Gaudi architecture within the enchanting labyrinth that is the Gothic Quarter. Savour the flavours of fresh tapas and crisp cava in breezy plazas, tranquil terraces and coveted cafés, or glide down to a shimmering beach club to unwind. Imagine a visit to peaceful Passeig de Gracia, where modernist buildings merge to showcase iconic global labels. And, as dusk falls, prepare for urban action and swing by the lively bohemian bars to fiesta on the leafy stretch of La Rambla. If you’re serious about style, this colourful city provides plenty to celebrate.
