PORTS OF CALL. An epic journey through the Southern Caribbean Islands because of the very strong colonial influence that pervades many of these islands, a great percentage of which are still related to France, the Netherlands, and the U.K...... experience the cruise vacation that will have lifetime memories as you explore the fascinating and diverse (6) ports of call.  Plenty of free time at each port call for you to enjoy yourself at your leisure.  Enjoy the culture, the music, different architecture, the history, the physical terrain!

• San Juan, Puerto Rico. One of the largest islands, Puerto Rico's landscape encompasses mountains, underground caves, coral reefs, white-sand beaches and an incredibly massive rain forest that supplies fresh water to most of the island. At the same time San Juan, the capital of the commonwealth, is a big city with a bustling business district, glitzy resorts and casinos, as well as one of the most stunning examples of colonial life in the Western world. Explore Old San Juan, the 2nd oldest European settlement in the New World.
• Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. St. Thomas is known as an idyllic vacation spot today, but its history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie. This world-renowned Caribbean island is home to amazing beaches, gorgeous sea and landscapes and unbelievable duty-free shopping. While the beaches and ocean are beautiful, there is one thing that really sets St. Thomas apart - shopping. Browse through the shop-lined streets of Charlotte Amalie and find out why St. Thomas is called the "duty-free shopping capital of the world." Shop for duty-free trinkets and bargains on everything from liquor to imported china and crystal. Visitors can bring home $1,200 in merchandise without paying duty - twice the limit of most of the Caribbean.
• Phillipsburg, St Maarten. When the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes and great shopping. You might choose to see St Maarten's popular Butterfly Farm.
• St Johns, Antigua. The first settlement on the island we now know as Antigua was not established until the 1600s, when English settlers arrived. Antigua remained a part of the British Commonwealth until its independence in 1981. Today, Antigua is a popular vacation destination, attracting tourists with its ideal climate, 366 beautiful beaches, amazing landscape and leisurely lifestyle. Discover Antigua's past at Nelson's Dockyard, a tropical Colonial Williamsburg, with many original colonial buildings. Lots of rich history and unique culture.
• Castries, St Lucia. St. Lucia has been a part of the British Commonwealth since 1803. But prior to that, it was often occupied by the French, which is evident in much of the island's culture. Castries offers a colorful local market and great shopping. And the surrounding areas offer lush rain forests, striking waterfalls, beautiful beaches and Sulfur Springs -the world's only drive-through volcano.
• Bridgetown, Barbados. Though Barbados gained its independence from the British in 1966, the island maintains a distinctly English flavor. From British products such as chocolate and china to the national pastime, cricket, the British influence is evident throughout this gorgeous Caribbean destination. Enjoy breathing panoramic views and learn about island culture and history on an island tour.
