Visit an artist’s loft in the tropical Costa Rican countryside on the outskirts of Puntarenas, or ride a zip line through the treetops of a rainforest.

Our most sought-after Caribbean cruise brackets eight straight days of island hopping with relaxing sea days, keeping you well rested when not exploring ashore. Visit the historic sites on idyllic Virgin Gorda or wander through its laid-back Spanish Town. Sample the wonderful Creole seafood dishes in Dominica. Explore the quaint villages of St. Lucia and its most spectacular beaches, where you may swim or stroll along the shore collecting shells. Explore Tortola’s pristine Sage Mountain National Park on a guided eco-tour. Snorkel or dive the crystal-clear waters off Grand Turk, which is rimmed with coral reefs. Shop for exquisite French perfumes and elegant European fashions in St. Barts’ capital of Gustavia. Whatever your pleasure, these islands present it in abundance.
Mayan Mystique
10-day Cruise from Miami to Miami onboard Marina, sailing Jan 13, 2012 & Feb 26, 2012
Concentrating on the aquamarine seas of the Western Caribbean, this voyage presents a collection of wonderful ports with rich histories. Under British rule since 1670, affluent Grand Cayman attracts shoppers looking for fine jewelry and cashmere. Cozumel anchors the lush Yucatan Peninsula, once the heart of the Mayan empire. The Maya were also prevalent in the area that’s now modern Belize City and in Guatemala’s Santo Tomas, where you are likely to hear Mayan dialects spoken as you walk the winding, cobblestone streets. Roatan abounds with water sports, but also tempts with attractions ashore such as Gumbalimba Preservation Park. Costa Maya earned its place on this itinerary for its archaeological significance, particularly in the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben.
Islands in the Sun
10-day Cruise from Miami to Miami onboard Marina, sailing Feb 16, 2012
This voyage presents the definitive Caribbean in a delightful array of sun-splashed islands. Being rather British, Virgin Gorda offers several traditional English pubs, but their menus embrace an engaging Caribbean flair. St. Barts is trés Parisian, although the capital of Gustavia was named for a Swedish king, and many of its residents are of Scandinavian and French descent. Snorkeling is among the main draws of Antigua, especially at Cades Reef. The southern coast of Tortola, where Road Harbor sits, is renowned for its rugged mountains and tropical forest, which is crisscrossed with hiking paths. The farmland and forests of the Dominican Republic are strikingly pastoral, and a Jeep Safari offers a unique way to see it. Grand Turk beguiles with its charm and stunning natural beauty.
