Grand Journey

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&#39;s intricate network of canals. The city also boasts a diverse range of attractions, including world-class museums, lush parks, and bustling nightlife.

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&#39;s Cove and Cane Garden Bay (immortalized in Jimmy Buffet&#39;s “Mañana”).

The rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda is epic. More commonly known as “The Baths,” the massive granite boulders formed by volcanic eruptions create a network of caves that hide white sand beaches and secret rock pools. Take the short cruise from the ship through the Sir Francis Drake Channel, then drive to the popular destination for a half day of exploratory fun, climbing over boulders (some of which are over 40 feet in diameter) and crawling through interconnecting caves. The visit is guided by a series of steps and rope handrails that guide explorers along a trail through the boulders from the beach to the sandy expanse at Devil&#39;s Bay. Look out for the triangular pathway called The Cathedral. As lights reflect off the boulders, it creates a stained-glass result; the resounding acoustics as you stand under the triangle are fantastic. Return via a pathway, stopping to look at the sweeping vistas of the Camanoe Islands on the way.

Get ready for a half day of exploratory fun at Virgin Gorda&#39;s “Baths”, climbing over 40-foot boulders, crawling through caves, and relaxing in warm sunlit pools.

The Baths at Virgin Gorda

Do as much or as little as you please: relax on a complimentary sun lounger, swim alongside schools of tropical fish, or purchase the renowned signature cocktail, “Painkiller” at the iconic Soggy Dollar Bar.' Despite White Bay&#39;s fame, it remains an unspoiled oasis of crystal-clear turquoise waters and blindingly white sand, making it a perfect place to unwind.
