Miami, Florida
The party and cruise capital of the word, Miami is a bright,
brash, playground city that 15.5 million tourists flock to every
year. The Roaring Twenties saw this town bloom into a seaside
capital, blessed with a legacy of Art Deco architecture, diverse
cultures, and natural wonders enough to satisfy any
holiday-goer.
Being the gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America, Miami has

It is no wonder Miami is America's favourite holiday destination
and the hub of a vibrant cruise ship industry, its port constantly
jammed with sleek passenger liners. North of the city, the miles of
beautiful beaches on the Gold Coast are hemmed in by southeast
Florida's major tourist towns: Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano
Beach, and Palm Beach.
Puerto Plata
Puerto Plata is a coastal city located in the Dominican Republic and is renowned for its lush, tropical beauty. Visitors flock to the area to experience the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters. From the bustling city center to the nearby beaches, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Puerto Plata.
First and foremost, Puerto Plata is known for its stunning landscape. The city is nestled between beautiful mountains and the Caribbean Sea. White, sandy beaches stretch along the shoreline, and lush green vegetation blankets the hillsides. Visitors can spend their days soaking up the sun or exploring the nearby caves and waterfalls. A popular destination for beach goers, the waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply tanning on the sand.
In addition to its natural beauty, Puerto Plata is full of cultural attractions. Explore the local cuisine at one of the many restaurants, offering fresh seafood and traditional Dominican dishes. Visit the colonial-style fort of San Felipe and learn about the city’s history. Shop ‘til you drop in the vibrant markets and discover unique souvenirs and handmade crafts from local artisans. Or take a stroll through the cobblestone streets of the historic city center and marvel at the vibrant colonial architecture.
No visit to Puerto Plata is complete without a visit to Ocean World Adventure Park. Here, visitors can take part in exciting activities such as swimming with dolphins, snorkeling, jet skiing, and boating. They can also explore the nearby caves or take a thrilling zip line tour over the Caribbean Sea.
When nightfall arrives in Puerto Plata, there are plenty of ways to keep busy. Sample some Latin food at a local bar, listen to live music and salsa dancing, or simply relax with an evening stroll along the beachfront. If you’re looking for a night to remember, head to one of the city’s nightclubs and dance until the wee hours of the morning.
For travelers who want to experience the real Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata is an ideal destination. With its stunning scenery, vibrant culture, and endless entertainment options, it’s easy to see why this city is so popular among visitors. A visit here promises to be an unforgettable experience that you’ll never forget.
Cayo Levantado
San Juan (Puerto Rico)
The capital city of Puerto Rico, San Juan
is one of the busiest ports in the Caribbean and home to a third of
all Puerto Ricans. Nearly every visitor to the island arrives at
San Juan, many on cruise liners. It's one of the largest home-based
cruise ports in the world, hosting many vessels with more being
added each year.
San Juan is divided into three distinct
districts: Old San Juan, the historic walled city; the beach and
resort area; and the outlying suburbs. Tourists mainly visit Old
San Juan, the site of most restaurants, shops, entertainment venues
and some exquisite beaches.
The old city is linked to the new by the
largely residential barrio of Puerta de Tierra and a series of
modern highways leading to the Condado beachfront, which is
reminiscent of Florida's Miami Beach with its high-rise hotels and
apartment blocks.
It is not only tourism that keeps the
financial mills grinding in San Juan. The city is an important
centre for petroleum and sugar refining, brewing and distilling,
and the manufacturing of cement, pharmaceuticals, metal products
and tobacco products.
In the midst of all the hustle and bustle,
there are numerous attractions in San Juan to amuse, entertain and
interest many tourists, and the city is a perfect base for
exploring the rest of what this small Caribbean island has to
offer.
Charlotte Amalie
St Thomas is the second largest and most
sophisticated of the Virgin Islands, serving as an extremely
popular port for cruise ships. There's a strong Danish influence,
especially evident in the main town and capital of Charlotte
Amalie.
Being the most accessible of the islands
also means it's the most heavily developed, with visitors from
around the world attracted by the town's reputation as an
international shopping and cruise hub.
But it's also beautiful, with numerous
headlands, coves, and forested hills providing stunning vistas over
the Caribbean. St Thomas also has some of the best white-sand
beaches in the region: Magens Bay Beach is acclaimed as one of the
finest in the world, and the sparkling waters and coral reef of
Coki Bay are superb for snorkelling. Fabulous panoramas can be
viewed from Drake's Seat, a high point in the centre of the island
from where Sir Francis Drake used to watch for enemy ships.
Combining natural beauty with first-rate
amenities, St Thomas offers numerous activities on and off the
water, fine international cuisine and a variety of accommodation
including luxury hotels and villas.
Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda, or "Fat Virgin," received its name from Christopher Columbus. The explorer envisioned the island as a pregnant woman in a languid recline, with Gorda Peak being her belly and the boulders of the Baths as her toes. Different in topography from Tortola, with an arid landscape covered with scrub brush and cactus, the pace of life is slower here, too. Goats and cattle own the right of way, and the unpretentious friendliness of the people is winning. The top sight (and beach for that matter) is the Baths, which draws scores of cruise-ship passengers and day-trippers to its giant boulders and grottoes that form a perfect snorkeling environment.
