Highlights of this cruise:

Ft Lauderdale
A bustling, fun-filled city and a popular tourist destination. Located in the USA state of Florida, the 'sunshine state', Fort Lauderdale is named after Major William Lauderdale who ordered a series of forts to be constructed around the city during the Second World War.

Today Fort Lauderdale is a bustling, fun-filled city; a popular tourist destination also known as the 'Venice' of America' due to its large, complex canal system. Now a glamorous, sunny holiday destination, Fort Lauderdale attracts a sophisticated yachting crowd, with its 42,000 resident yachts and 100 marinas and boatyards.

Cozumel
White sand beaches on the beautiful of the Caribbean ocean
Cozumel is Mexico's largest island, located just 12 miles off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Measuring just 28 miles long by 10 miles wide, Cozumel is renowned across the world for its dazzling white sand beaches and the clarity of the Caribbean ocean in which it lies.

Roatan
Looking for paradise? Find it on our cruise to Isla de Roatan, Honduras. Roatan is the largest of Honduras' Bay Islands, yet it remains small and accessible, measuring 60 kilometres in length, and less than eight kilometres at its widest point. This idyllic island and its crystal clear waters attracts many divers, as Isla de Roatan is located on the Mesoamerican barrier reef, the second largest coral reef in the world.

Philipsburg
White sandy beaches and vibrant boardwalk cafes
Both the French and the Dutch claim the island of St. Maarten as, in 1648, the authorities signed a treaty that divided the island between them.

As the ship docks, you'll see that between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond, the Dutch capital Philipsburg fills a small stretch of land, and two main roads Front Street and Back Street cut across the city.

Front Street is the main thoroughfare featuring traditional West Indian architecture and duty-free shopping of imported goods and native crafts: it is also home to the Guavaberry Emporium where they sell the local tipple, Guavaberry Rum.

Beaches are clean, white and sandy and you can refresh yourself at one of the vibrant boardwalk cafes! For the more active, choose from water sports such as windsurfing, kayaking, and jet-skiing, snorkelling or diving, or the ultimate sense of freedom, a horseback beach ride.

Charlotte Amalie
Elegant architecture in pretty pastel colours
Located in the United States Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie is situated on the island of St Thomas and is the capital of the USVI. Named after a Danish Queen, the town has a deep-water harbour, making it a perfect stopping point for luxury cruise ships.

Elegant 18th century architecture in pretty pastel colours creates the perfect backdrop for walking tours and a pleasant shopping experience. The key sights of Charlotte Amalie are located within the town centre, making it easy to combine sightseeing with what are fantastic retail opportunities due to the large proportion of duty-free shops, hence the island's status as 'Duty Free Capital of the World'!

Don't miss Emancipation Park, named to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the Danish West Indies in 1848 or the American-Caribbean History Museum for a snapshot of the island's history.

If you're after real relaxation, head to any of Charlotte Amalie's pristine beaches, where the warm water, white sands and palm trees will ensure you feel you're making the best of your holiday!

Nassau
A beautifully preserved city, with Victorian mansions, cathedrals and 18th-century fortresses
At MSCCruises we pride ourselves on compiling the best possible deals on cruise holiday packages and we know that your dream cruise vacation to the Caribbean would not be complete without a stop-over at 'funky' Nassau, the vibrant port that soul singer Ray Munnings sang about in his groovy 1969 hit.
This flat island is located in the north-eastern part of the island of New Providence in the Bahamas and covered by pine-tree woods, lakes and swamps.

In the North there are wonderful beaches, tourist ports, golf courses and many other venues for leisure and free time.
