Port Everglades puts Fort Lauderdale within easy reach of the city’s waterways, beaches and cultural attractions. A short drive brings you to Las Olas Boulevard, where galleries, restaurants and boutiques line a walkable stretch. Visit the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens for a glimpse of old Florida, or head west toward the Everglades. Fort Lauderdale’s broad Atlantic beaches offer an easy counterpoint to the city’s lively dining scene.
San Juan puts a remarkable piece of Caribbean history within easy reach of your ship. Founded in 1521, Old San Juan is a compact district of blue cobbles, pastel façades and Spanish colonial landmarks. Walk its steep lanes to El Morro, the 16th-century fortress that guards the harbor. From its ramparts, the Atlantic comes into view. Beyond the old walls, cafés, galleries and contemporary restaurants show a city still shaped by its maritime past.
Antigua rewards a day ashore with more than its celebrated beaches. St John’s, the compact capital, makes an easy starting point. Drive east to Nelson’s Dockyard, a remarkably preserved Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage site. English Harbour’s sheltered waters and restored stone buildings reveal the island’s maritime past. Or trade history for a swim at one of the island’s many coves, from resort beaches to quieter shores.
Begin in Basseterre, St Kitts’s compact capital, where Georgian buildings and busy market streets reveal the island’s layered past. At Independence Square, once a slave market, pause among mature trees before browsing nearby shops and cafés. Then leave town for Mount Liamuiga’s volcanic slopes, former sugar estates and beaches of dark volcanic sand. Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rewards the drive with stone ramparts and wide Caribbean views.
Roseau is Dominica’s compact, characterful capital, where Creole life meets a handsome Caribbean waterfront. Walk its streets to find the Old Market, local shops, and the island’s botanical gardens. For a wider view, climb to Morne Bruce, where the city, coast, and green interior unfold below. Beyond town, rainforest trails lead to waterfalls and hot springs, while volcanic reefs invite exploration. Bring comfortable shoes; Dominica rewards travelers who prefer wild landscapes to polished resort strips.
Gustavia makes a polished first impression, but its appeal is more than designer boutiques and superyachts. Swedish rule left its mark in the town’s name and the ruins of Fort Gustav above the harbor. From the waterfront, cafés, galleries and shops sit within easy walking distance, while Shell Beach lies just beyond the center. Come ashore for French-Caribbean style, with history close at hand.
Tortola gives you a vivid introduction to the British Virgin Islands: green, steep-sided hills rise above a sheltered Caribbean harbour. In Road Town, browse Main Street, visit the J.R. O’Neal Botanic Gardens, or pause at a waterfront café. Beyond town, winding roads lead to Cane Garden Bay and island viewpoints. Ferries make nearby islands accessible, while Tortola itself rewards an unhurried day of beaches, scenery and local rum.
Punta Cana’s appeal is plain: miles of pale sand, warm Caribbean water and winter sunshine. Along the eastern coast, resort beaches meet palm groves, golf courses and the calm waters of Bávaro. Leave the shoreline for Santo Domingo’s colonial streets, or visit a local farm to learn about cacao and coffee. Distances are long, so choose your excursion carefully and start early.
