Advisor Consultation

Get personalized guidance and book your trip with confidence.

Schedule My Consultation

Book with a professional travel advisor and you may unlock more than what appears in a standard online search. Depending on the supplier and trip, your advisor may have access to preferred or agency-negotiated group rates, special promotions, upgrades, onboard or resort credits, and other added-value benefits that are not always available through direct booking.

During our consultation, we may ask for a few details—such as your country or state of residence, ZIP code, age eligibility, military status, past-guest history, or loyalty memberships. These details can help us identify fares and benefits you may qualify for and compare them against publicly available options.

Not every offer applies to every traveler, and availability varies by supplier, destination, sailing, travel dates, and eligibility. But the more we know about your trip and the qualifications that may apply to you, the more thoroughly we can search for opportunities to enhance your vacation and help you secure the best available overall value not just the first price you see online.

Itinerary Overview

Day 1 · Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Depart 4:00 pm

Originally a fort built by the U.S. Army in 1838 during the Second Seminole War, Fort Lauderdale welcomes visitors with broad, palm-fringed beaches and an easy pace of life. Stroll along fashionable Las Olas Boulevard with its stylish shops or enjoy a sightseeing cruise through the city''s canals, boasting more waterways than Venice. Or, venture out and explore the cosmopolitan city of Palm Beach, or the wildlife sanctuary of the Everglades.

Day 2 · Half Moon Cay (Little San Salvador Island), Bahama

Half Moon Cay (Little San Salvador Island), Bahama

Arrive 8:00 am · Depart 5:00 pm

Half Moon Cay has the attraction of other private islands plus some! This 2500 acre island, prides itself in maintaining the natural ecology; it protects 2400 of its acres by keeping them wholly unspoiled. Located one hundred miles SE of Nassau, its large protected bay used to be a famous refuge for pirates (or as famous as a pirate refuge can get). Enjoy nature activities, beach fun, or just swing in the hammock to the island steel band. Make sure to take at least one dip in the beach which is only chest deep 60 ft out!

Day 5 · Port of Oranjestad, Aruba, Caribbean

Port of Oranjestad, Aruba, Caribbean

Arrive 8:00 am · Depart 5:00 pm

The tiny island of Aruba is the smallest of the ABC Islands, which include Barbados and Curacao. Aruba lies about 15 miles north of Venezuela and has limited vegetation. The landscape consists of cacti and the curiously wind-bent divi divi trees. You may also be interested in climbing atop some of the huge boulders and exploring some of its caves. Of course, the main attractions to this island are its magnificent beaches against the turquoise waters full of spectacular marine life, which lure scores of sunbathers, snorkelers, and divers each year to the island. Though small, Aruba has room for some luxury as well. If you travel along Palm Beach, you will find the several miles of this white sand lined with a string of hotels with glitzy casinos, restaurants and exotic boutiques. The crystal-clear waters of this beach are ideal for swimming and all kinds of watersports. However, if you prefer to stay dry, you are more than welcome to enjoy Aruba''s exotic underwater world from the glass bottom boats or on a submarine excursion.

Day 7 · Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena, Colombia

Arrive 7:00 am · Depart 2:00 pm

Charming Cartagena is one of the most fascinating towns in South America. The old city, almost completely surrounded by lagoons, bays and the Caribbean Sea, is still girded by its 17th-century fortifications. Once these guarded the gold and treasures of the New World, bound for Spain; now they shelter ornate churches and convents, the dramatic Palace of the Inquisition, and other historic gems.

Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Arrive 7:00 am · Depart 4:00 pm
