Highlights of this cruise:

Cartagena
A kaleidoscope of color, rich in cultural heritage and old-world charm. Find Spanish colonial architecture, lively music, and mouth-watering cuisine. She is celebrated as the queen of the Caribbean coast, and given the shimmering lagoons, bays and stunning sea that surround her, it’s easy to see why. Cartagena’s beautifully preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with winding alleys, vibrant displays of architecture and iconic churches. Explore islands offshore, swim in the crystalline waters, and be sure to sample the ceviche!

Samana
Known as the nature island of the Caribbean, Dominica is one of the few Caribbean islands that has changed very little since Columbus visited and named it many years ago. Dominica is known for its mountainous terrain, lush rainforests, numerous rivers and cloud-covered hills. Here one can find the Sisserou parrot and the Jaco parrot, both indigenous to Dominica. The island is also home to the last remnants of the Carib Indians, whose ancestors came from South America over 1,000 years ago. Although the Carib language has perished, they have their own territory where their baskets and woodcarvings are sold to visitors and many of their traditions are maintained. With the island`s colonial background, the capital, Roseau, features both historic and modern buildings. However, Dominica is truly a place to discover nature in all her splendor!

Ft Lauderdale
Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale is to Miami, what poetry is to prose. Despite the two cities being only 30 miles apart, there is a world of difference between them. With its stunning beaches, thriving arts, and culture scene, and picturesque waterways, Fort Lauderdale offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. Visitors can soak up the sun on the pristine white sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, explore the arty, independent boutiques and restaurants along Las Olas Boulevard, or take a scenic boat tour through the city`s intricate network of canals. The city also boasts a diverse range of attractions, including world-class museums, lush parks, and bustling nightlife.
