Itinerary
Nassau, The Bahamas
A former pirate haven, lively Nassau still trades in rum and cigars, but now sports a bustling central shopping district and endless options to wine and dine. New Providence Island and Paradise Island are also renowned for their beaches and splendid coral reefs. Take some time to explore more with a Pre-Program before your expedition.
At Sea
Enjoy a pleasant day at sea on the way to the Inagua Islands. The Expedition Team will begin their lecture series on the Caribbean. Spend time on deck looking for birds and other marine life following the ship’s wake. Make the most of the perfect climate and join a yoga class out on deck.
Inagua Islands, The Bahamas
With 140 different species of exotic birds, including over 80,000 flamingos, Inagua is a birdwatcher’s dream. The mangroves are also a natural habitat for nesting hawkbill and green sea turtles. Visit one of the three remaining kerosene-burning, hand-cranked lighthouses in The Bahamas or learn about the Island’s main industry, salt production, from the friendly locals.
Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos
Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos
As capitals go, few are as calm and quiet as Cockburn. The long, narrow streets are lined with old street lamps and featuring 18th and 19th century British-Bermudian architecture. The National Museum houses Taíno artifacts and an exhibit of the Molasses Reef Wreck, the oldest known European shipwreck in the Americas, dated 1505.
At Sea
Join the Expedition Team for interesting lectures, learn the basics of expedition photography, and spend time out on deck enjoying the fresh sea air as you watch for wildlife. Use the Science Center’s state-of-the-art microscopes to observe the tiniest creatures in samples taken during this voyage. Continue your yoga routine and unwind with guided meditation.
Port Antonio, Jamaica
Once a beach escape for celebrities in the 1940s, this quiet town is tucked well away from Jamaica’s more touristy areas. With its makeshift markets and friendly street vendors, there is a romantic, slow-paced rhythm here. Trek to the stunning Reach Waterfall and famed Blue Lagoon or take a bamboo raft to the aptly named Monkey Island.
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Christopher Colombus first anchored here in 1494, calling it the ’Gulf of Good Weather.” Today, it buzzes with locals and visitors out enjoying the beaches and prolific eateries. Visit Rose Hall to learn about Montego Bay’s colonial history, explore hidden underground caves, or board a bamboo raft down the glistening Martha Brae River.
George Town, Cayman Islands
There is an endless array of activities available in George Town. Go on a submarine tour; board a glass-bottom boat; go snorkelling, scuba-diving, or parasailing: visit rum distilleries and art galleries; and, of course, enjoy duty-free shopping and restaurants galore. The 19th century National Museum contains over 8,000 exhibits, including a 14-ft traditional handmade catboat.
