Bajan Paradise

Setting out from the cruise pier area, you will journey to sightsee the east coast of Barbados. As your driver guide tells you about his beautiful island, you will travel to some of its best-known scenic sites.

On this Barbados excursion you will stop for photos at Cherry Tree Hill where you will have a panoramic view of the highlands of the Scotland District; Morgan Lewis Windmill, the last sugar windmill to operate on Barbados, for a photo stop; Cattle Wash, known for its curative climate; Bathsheba, with its gigantic boulders and waves breaking upon them; and St. John's Parish Church, where you will enjoy a wonderful view of the entire East Coast. From this famous gothic church, you will then pass through the Gun Hill signal station, where you will see the famous White Lion coral stone carving. You will continue on your journey through the beautiful parish of St. George!

After a morning of tropical beauty, you'll make your way across country, traveling through the Garrison Historic Area, built in 1806, and on to a local beach bar located on Carlisle Bay. With white sand and turquoise water, this beach is a real slice of paradise. At this beach bar, you will be provided with a welcome drink, a beach chair, and an umbrella. The facility also has washrooms and showers available for your use. Although lunch is not included, there is a restaurant and bar to serve you on and off the beach.

Carlisle Bay is a marine park with 25 shipwrecks hidden below its surface. You will have approximately 2 hours at the beach to sun, swim, look for sand dollars, or perhaps participate in one of the snorkel excursions to swim with the turtles or alongside one of the shipwrecks. Snorkel excursions can be purchased right on the beach. There are also jet skis and banana boat rides available for hire. While you are relaxing on the beach, a refreshing drink will be served.

On the way back to the port, you will pass through the capital of the island, Bridgetown. Those not wishing to have beach time may also be returned to the ship.

Jewels of Dominica

Journey to a natural wonder and a filming location featured in Pirates of the Caribbean 2. From the parking lot, a 5-10 minute walk leads us to Titou Gorge. To experience the gorge fully, you'll take a brief swim (approximately 2 minutes) through a cave-like area (without swimming underwater). The swim covers approximately 100 feet, with the water reaching a depth of about 10 feet at its deepest point. However, once you reach the middle of the cave-like area, the water level is only about waist-high. There is a small waterfall that visitors can swim to, provided that the water flow is not too strong. During the excursion, you'll also have the option to climb a 5-foot waterfall to reach another waterfall. We provide swim belts to all of our guests for added safety during the swim.

Next we proceed to the Trafalgar Falls, where you'll be treated to the sight of the twin falls: the Father Falls, standing at 125 feet, and the Mother Falls, at 75 feet in height. Walking up to the Falls vantage point is a short ten-minute stroll through the rain forest canopy.

You'll then visit the beautiful Botanical Gardens. Established in 1889 to assist farmers in growing seedlings, the Botanical Gardens showcase a diverse range of native flowers, plants, and trees. A cricket match or another cultural event might be in progress if you're lucky. The last stop is a panoramic view of the city will be done at Morne Bruce.

This sun-drenched Roseau trip comes with transportation, beer, and water. These sites are a must-see while in Dominica. Reserve your spot today for an incredible experience.

Your St. Maarten excursion starts as you leave the pier for a scenic drive to Topper's Rhum distillery, a family-owned and operated distillery that grew out of a complimentary after-dinner drink the Topper's Rhum distillery restaurant patrons fell in love with. Your guide will lead you through a hands-on tour where you will learn about the history of rum making in the Caribbean and observe the fermentation, distilling, filtering, blending and bottling process. Head to the lab to learn about the quality control measures and taste one of the more than 50 flavored rums in development.

Your tour concludes with a leisurely ride back to port. Skip the typical city tours and experience St. Maarten like a local.

Please Note: Guests should use caution while on Maho Beach, as planes departing and arriving are low-flying and can be very loud.

Snorkeling with Turtles & Half Day Sail Excursion

Climb aboard a Morgan 46-foot ketch for this half-day sail and snorkel St. Thomas excursion to the Marine Sanctuary, where you'll have a date with a giant green sea turtle.

To begin your St. Thomas excursion, you will sail past the cruise ships as you head for the open sea on a 25-minute boat ride. You may choose a seat in the center cockpit, designed for shade and to provide a firsthand view of how a beautiful boat is sailed. Or, if you want to soak up the Caribbean rays, spread out on the bow or the stern and relax while breathing the refreshing ocean air. The professional and courteous crew will greet you with complimentary drinks and snacks as the sails are raised and we catch the breeze. The crew has been on the island for years and will share some of the history and pirate lore during your three-mile sail to the sanctuary at Buck Island.

After the yacht anchors in Turtle Cove, the crew will offer professional instruction, quality snorkel gear, and the best flotation devices in the entire U.S. Virgin Islands. Then, follow the crew into the water, where they will assist and explain all the different species of sea life that you encounter. In addition to the turtles, you may see octopus, conch, urchins, starfish, squid, and a variety of tropical reef fish, as well as the coral reef of this deserted island during your one hour of snorkeling.

After your snorkeling and swimming, climb back on board for a quick, freshwater rinse on the aft deck. Then partake in a cold beverage including rum drinks, beer, and soft drinks, as the crew sets the sails and turns towards home.

Please Note: The tour departure location is within walking distance of the WICO (Havensight) Cruise Pier. Guests docking at Crown Bay will need to hire a taxi for an approximately 15 to 25 minute ride (approximately $6 US per person each way), which is not included in the tour price.
