A Journey Bridging the Big Easy and Mystical Ancient Maya Cruise

Day 1 - Miami

Arrive: Sat 14 February 2026 / Depart: Sat 14 February 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 2 - Key West

Arrive: Sun 15 February 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 15 February 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 3 - At Sea

Day 4 - New Orleans

Arrive: Tue 17 February 2026 at 09:00

Deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, beats one of the most unique cities in America. A sumptuous blend of French, Spanish, and Caribbean architecture, where bucolic and urban mingle, antique meets trendy, naughty nuzzles nice, and the Hurricane cocktail keeps things buzzy. The Queen of Creole, Cajun, and Soul has been simmering at slow boil for three hundred years creating some iconic cuisine served with a generous helping of Southern hospitality. Jazz fills the air as brass bands parade along the quaint, cobbled streets that so enchanted Edgar Degas, Tennessee Williams, Louis Armstrong and Anne Rice. As they say in NoLa, “laissez les bon temps rouler”.
