DAY AT SEA (March 7)
GRAND TURK, TURKS & CAICOS (March 8, 7:00 A.M.–3:00 p.m.): The beautiful Island of Grand Turk is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos. Take the time to explore Cockburn Town’s wonderful selection of historical buildings including many Burmudian and Colonial style buildings and ruins. Deep offshore waters serve as major transit points for Humpback Whales, spotted Eagle rays, Manta Rays and Turtles. Like to fish? Tuna, Wahoo and Blue Marlin inhabit these same rich waters. If you’re a diver, or simply interested in diving, Grand Turk is the place for you. With many dive operators and schools it can cater from novice snorkels to experienced divers.
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (March 9, 1:00 P.m.–11:00 p.m.): In days of yore, the waters near Puerto Rico teemed with pirate ships commanded by the likes of Sir Francis Drake. Aye, they are long gone, but in their wake they have left an island of national treasures: La Casa Blanca, built in 1501 for the island’s first governor, Ponce de Leon; the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan; the tropical rain forests of El Yunque.
ST. THOMAS , U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS (March 10, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.): Not only is this an island paradise, with one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, St. Thomas has a spectacular variety of shopping. Here, you can shop for duty-free bargains and exotic treasures, from French perfumes to Indonesian fabrics. And if you’re a golfer, don’t miss Mahogany Run, known for its spectacular views.
DAY AT SEA (March 11)
HALF MOON CAY, BAHAMAS (March 12, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.): Half Moon Cay is ideal for beach lovers, watersports, and nature enthusiasts. Snorkel among the coral reefs, or paddle boat in the crystal clear bay. This island is a designated wild bird sanctuary with nature trails leading visitors to the vantage points that are ideal for bird watching.
