Itinerary
Day 1, Miami, United StatesDeparture 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 3, Ocho Rios, JamaicaArrival 09:00Departure 18:00
Reggae rhythms and Caribbean spices drift through the air in laid-back Ocho Rios, where time is measured in rosy dawns and tangerine sunsets. Browse below the palms on forest-fringed beaches or climb up into the mountainous interior, where old plantations offer a glimpse into the island’s colonial past. Find positive vibrations in the village of Nine Mile, where Nesta ‘Bob’ Marley strummed his first guitar and now rests in a marble Mausoleum. The cooling mists and forest pools of Dunn’s River Falls carry the imagination to lofty heights, while the Green Grotto Caves plunge into a subterranean world of labyrinthine caverns and honeycomb stalactites, historical hideout for indigenous Arawak and stealthy smugglers.

Day 5, Catalina Island, Dominican RepublicArrival 09:00Departure 18:00
Mango-scented
reveries on flour-soft beaches. Tinkling ice cubes in rummy cocktails. Rainbow
marine life in crystalline coral gardens. Welcome to Catalina Island, an
earthly paradise where trails meander through fragrant forests and merengue
rhythms drift on the breeze. Fortune awaits in the sunken wreckage of Captain
Kidd’s ship, home of silent sponges and sentinel seahorses, an underwater
kingdom awaiting discovery.
Day 6, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin IslandsArrival 12:00Departure 18:00
Named for a Dutch pirate who once encamped here, Jost Van Dyke is a petite jewel with a bounty of lush landscapes and beautiful beaches. Hike (or water taxi) to Bubbly Pool, a natural jacuzzi created as waves at high tide crash through a crevasse. Kick back on the powder-fine sands of White Bay, swimming the turquoise shallows, finding zen at the floating spa or succumbing to the infamous Painkiller, the dark rum and coconut cocktail created in the 1970s at the Soggy Dollar Bar, polestar of the cheerful island vibe.
Day 7, Philipsburg , Sint MarteenArrival 08:00Departure 18:00
Princely Philipsburg reigns as the
capital of the Dutch side of the dual-nation island of Sint Maarten/ and French
Saint Martin. Lounging beside aptly named Great Bay, the seaside city weaves
colourful streets lined with Dutch emporiums brimming with chocolates, cheeses
and coveted luxuries. Kayak lapis-blue waters, dive amongst a kaleidoscope of
reefs or gallop on horseback along shaded plantation trails. Play ‘lady luck’ in
winning casinos or a round of golf beside an eternally blue sea. Every moment
embraces the idea that a day in Philipsburg is royal.
Day 8, Charlotte Amalie (Saint Thomas), United States Virgin IslandsArrival 08:00Departure 21:00
Savour a fusion of heritage in sparkly St Thomas. Roam a flawless Capital teeming with local culture, smart boutiques, American hallmarks, streets bearing Danish names, and former hideouts for the notorious pirates of Blackbeard and Bluebeard. Climb up to historic landmarks, catch the cable car for serious views and savour the Frenchtown quarter famed for its restaurants. Ferry to scenic conservatory of St. John, float around diamond-sand beaches with limpid blue waters and venture on forested yomps through rugged hilltops. Dreamy Caribbean warmth soaked in Danish roots and American influence - this USVI is a curious culture clash with plenty of personality.
Day 9, San Juan, Puerto RicoArrival 08:00
Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic Old San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colourful colonial buildings. Learn how to move, as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamorous boutiques for artisan goods, decadent designers and hand-rolled cigars. Experience world-class surfing, explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum cocktail tasting and polish off empanadas. Then retire to one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.
