An epic 25-day adventure awaits as we set sail from Fort Lauderdale. After relaxing into life onboard with a couple of days at sea, we arrive in Road Town, on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, for scuba, hikes – or just wandering the old colonial streets. A cascade of Caribbean towns come into view now: Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, with its rich Creole culture; Castries in Saint Lucia to see the colorful murals in one of the region’s largest churches; and Scarborough in Tobago, where a stroll to the 18th-century Fort King George comes with wonderful views. Two days at sea take us to Brazil. Our first stop is Santarém, to see the mighty Amazon and Tapajós rivers meet, then Boca Da Valeria for a glimpse of local village life, and an overnight stay in the city of Manaus, gateway to the rainforest. Now, we explore Parintins, where the spirit of carnival continues year-round, and go barefoot on the white sands of Alter do Chão. A couple more sea days bring us to French Guiana and Devil’s Island, an intriguing former penal colony, then the Caribbean-Georgian streets of Bridgetown, Barbados. Make the most of the beaches at our last two stops, Roseau, Dominica, and Gustavia, St. Barts, before our voyage concludes with two more days cruising through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea to energetic Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale, United States Of America picture

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.

7:00 AM - 5:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Road Town, British Virgin Islands picture

Welcome to the capital city of the British Virgin Islands… its Main Street lined with colonial-era buildings painted in shades of pastel with colorful shutters and delicate wood trim. Trek through the rain-forested Mount Sage National Park for sweeping views, or play on spectacular white sand beaches with names like Smuggler's Cove and Cane Garden Bay (immortalized in Jimmy Buffet's “Mañana”).

3 EXCURSIONS

Pointe-a-Pitre, French West Indies, French West Indies picture

It's well worth getting off the beach in Point a Pitre. While the vibrant, de facto capital beckons with its long ribbons of sand and sparkling turquoise waters, it is the fascinating blend of French and Caribbean influences, evident in its charming architecture, bustling markets, and vibrant festivals that take center stage here. Stroll along the waterfront, stopping off at the Marche Couvert, where you'll find everything from fresh papaya and golden strands of saffron to locally woven fabrics and hand-crafted ornaments. Stroll along palm-lined streets, savoring French-Caribbean fusion cuisine, and feel the rhythmic pulse of the local music scene. If you're interested in French architecture, you must stop at Rue de l'Eglise to admire the bright yellow Cathedrale de St-Pierre et St-Paul. Constructed in the 19th century, the Catholic church exhibits a blend of Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles, including twin towers and intricate detailing, making it a notable landmark in the city.

Scarborough, Trinidad And Tobago

jan 24, 2028

7:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Scarborough, Trinidad And Tobago picture

From its gorgeous beaches and colorful marine life to its lush rainforest interior, tiny Tobago is the quintessential, picturesque Caribbean island; and it is a world apart from bigger, brasher Trinidad with which it forms a twin-nation. Tobago's sleepy capital Scarborough is a place for gentle ambling; take in the Scarborough Botanical Gardens whose 17 acres feature orchids, silk-cotton trees and vibrant bromeliads; and visit Fort King George, built by the British in 1777, beautifully maintained and offering expansive sea views. Then explore further afield. About eight miles wide and 30 long, the island is easy to get around by bus or taxi. To the west is Pigeon Point with one of the most renowned beaches; to the north is equally striking Stonehaven Bay. Follow hiking trails in the lush forests; join a tour of Tobago Cocoa plantation; enjoy a glass-bottomed boat ride to vibrant Buccoo Reef.

Santarém, Brazil

jan 28, 2028

10:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Anchor

Santarém, one of the oldest cities on the Amazon, is where the waters of the Tapajós and the Amazon rivers meet – take in the view of their respective blue and brown waters blending from the observation tower in the Mirante do Tapajós. Originally the home of the Tapajós people, by 1661 the Portuguese colonists had claimed Santarém in the name of Afonso VI. Both influences can still be explored – Tapajós pottery is on display at the João Fona Cultural Center and the twin-towered baroque cathedral is a prime example of Portuguese colonial architecture. Don't miss the story of the late Dica Frazãu at the museum in her name, a designer who became internationally renowned for the clothes and fabrics she created from natural fibres for royalty and popes. But this is the heart of the Amazon rainforest, so a guided ramble in the Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, and the beautiful beach at Alter Do Chão should also be on your list.

12.

Boca Da Valeria, Brazil

jan 29, 2028

7:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Anchor

Immerse yourself in Amazonian culture at this home of the Caboclo people where the Valeria and Amazon rivers meet. This tiny, welcoming community – barely 100 people live in the thatched houses that straddle the waters on stilts – opens its homes to inquisitive visitors and offer boat rides along the shore, from which you might catch sight of monkeys, toucans, and even the pink river dolphin. One way of showing your appreciation for this privileged encounter is to buy one of the handicrafts – masks, jewellery, leather goods – that the locals make and sell.

13.

Manaus/Amazon, Brazil

jan 30, 2028

arrival 10:00 AM

Overnight

Manaus is an enigma: it's a huge port but it lies more than 900 miles from the ocean. The centre is home to grand buildings and ornate Belle Époque-style architecture while the city is surrounded by dense jungle. And although it's deep within the Amazon, Manaus had the first electric street lighting in the world. Just as the two waters of the rivers on which it sits never mix – the darker Rio Negro and lighter Amazon run side by side for several miles – so the different facets of Manaus are seemingly contradictory. But that's what makes it such a fascinating place to visit, and well worth a few days of your time before embarking on an Amazonian adventure. Don't miss the pink wedding cake-esque opera house, Teatro Amazonas, or the market Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, a replica of Les Halles in Paris, with ironwork said to be left over from the building of the Eiffel Tower. Such architectural extravagance testifies to the immense wealth that came to Manaus during the 19th-century rubber boom. While it's never regained its former glory, Manaus is still a sight to behold.

Parintins, Brazil

feb 01, 2028

10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Anchor

Deep in the Amazon, this island city can only be reached by air and sea – yet Parintins' remote location is why so many in Brazil and beyond have heard of this place. Parintins is known for its spectacular summer festival, Boi-Bumba, a week-long celebration of the indigenous community's culture and traditions, which isolation has helped preserve. Tens of thousands flock here for the event – it's second only in size and popularity to Rio's own world-famous carnival. The story at its heart – about a husband and wife and a bull – is lavishly told by the decorated floats, populated by giant models of the beast, and dancers in eye-popping costumes. But don't worry if you aren't in port at party time. While there is the Cathedral of Nossa Senhora do Carmo to see and the surrounding lakelands to explore, the bumba beat goes on, with performances held throughout the year.

16.

Alter do Chão, Brazil

feb 02, 2028

9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Anchor

Sandy shores and a beach-club vibe are not what you'd expect in the Amazon, yet this riverside town isn't known as the Brazilian Caribbean for nothing. Set on the banks of the Tapajós, this is a laidback spot for lounging in a hammock by warm waters, but make time to dip into local culture – dance to the carimbó beat, travel through the igarapés (Amazonian creeks), and pick up crafts made from tucumã, a native palm. There's a national forest nearby for treks through the jungle to spot the sacred samaúma trees and to hear the cacophony of birdsong.

Iles du Salut (Devil`s Island), French Guiana

feb 05, 2028

7:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Anchor

Iles du Salut (Devil`s Island), French Guiana picture

One of three tiny dots just off the coast of north-eastern Brazil that make up the Salvation Islands, Devil's Island gets its fearsome name from the shark-infested waters and dangerous currents that surround it. Little wonder, then, that France thought it would make the perfect spot to house dangerous prisoners from 1852 to 1952. A penal colony was built on all three of the Salvation Islands, with Devil's Island being reserved for political prisoners, including Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was unjustly charged with spying for Germany. Conditions were notoriously terrible, with violence and disease rampant. Today, Devil's Island is closed to all visitors but the remains of the penal colony on Isle Royale, where we dock, make for fascinating, if sobering, viewing.

feb 07, 2028

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

10 EXCURSIONS

Barbados is sun-drenched beaches, clear blue-green waters and cool trade winds. Its capital is a UNESCO treasure and inland you'll see lovingly preserved plantation houses, lush sugar cane fields and fragrant gardens. Reminders of former British rule abound, from cricket fields to Lord Nelson's statue and the original Trafalgar Square. Don't miss Bridgetown's bustling Careenage and the shops on Broad Street, which offer deals on luxury imports from Britain.

Roseau, Dominica

feb 08, 2028

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

6 EXCURSIONS

Dominica is the nature lover's retreat from the rush of daily life, a fragrant tangle of rainforest that is easily explored from its capital, Roseau. The tiny volcanic island offers both golden- and black-sand beaches to loll on – Batibou is a dazzler – but it's the wild beauty of its interior that enchants. Hike through the Titou Gorge, familiar from the moviePirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, dipping into the chasm's cool waters to swim to the waterfall at its end. Climb into the mountains at Morne Diablotins National Park (one of three on the island) for the chance to catch sight of the sisserou parrot. And delve into history at Fort Shirley, scene of an important slave revolt. Snorkeling in the bubbly, volcanic waters at Champagne Reef, shopping for handcrafted gifts at the Old Market, and watching out for sperm whales – this is the only country whose waters they live in year-round.

Gustavia, St. Barthelemy, French West Indies picture

Island of celebrity hideaways and posh bungalows, considered by many to be the most elite and glamorous of all the Caribbean isles, St. Barts is home to 22 incredible beaches. Anse de Flamanes presents camera-ready scenery, Baie de St-Jean serves up beachside bistros, and Anse de Grand Cul-de-Sac offers an array of watersports.
