Sample Ports of Call/Shore Excursions
Aruba

    Come to the Netherlands Antilles for a taste of Dutch architecture and the chance to snorkel or swim in some of the Caribbean's most spectacular waters.
    Sample Shore Excursions:
  • Best Of Aruba Tour: Get an overview of Aruba’s natural wonders, visit an aloe factory, and then spend some time at one of Aruba’s most famous beaches. Drive through Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital, with its colorful markets and Dutch Colonial buildings. Pass through scenic Frenchman’s Pass on the way to Casibari Rock formations, where the landscape is shaped by huge boulders the size of small houses.
  • Aruba Sightseeing & Ostrich Farm Tour: Survey Aruba’s scenic highlights on an excursion that travels to the California Lighthouse and Casibari Rocks before paying a visit to an island ostrich farm.
  • Downtown Walking Tour: Enjoy a guided walk through historic Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital, and take home a better understanding of Aruba’s past.
  • Aruba Countryside Horseback Ride Tour: There is no better way to explore the countryside and to enjoy one of Aruba’s beautiful beaches than on horseback. Saddle up and follow your guides into Aruba’s cunucu, or countryside. See the famous windswept divi-divi trees and keep an eye out for iguanas and other local wildlife.
  • Arikok National Park Hike & Beach Tour: Get off the beaten track on a guided hike in Arikok National Park and then cool off with a swim at Baby Beach. Learn about the flora and fauna of this desert-like environment. Keep your eyes peeled for wild donkeys, iguanas, various cacti and the famous divi-divi trees.

Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
    Sample Shore Excursions:
  • Discover Bonaire Tour: Enjoy a guided driving tour of Bonaire taking in many of the island’s highlights.
  • Butterfly Farm Tour: Explore the interesting world of the colorful butterfly at the Bonaire Butterfly Farm.
  • Mangrove Exploration By Skiff Tour: Explore the mangroves of Lac Bay National Park by skiff. Embark the skiff powered by an electric motor to begin your tour through the fabulous mangroves. As you glide through the calm waters of the park the trained guide will point out any flora and fauna that are spotted.
  • Samur Sail & Snorkel Tour: Sail on the Samur, an authentic 56-foot Siamese sailing junk from Thailand. Set sail and glide smoothly under the big red sails to Klein Bonaire.
  • Mangrove Kayaking Tour: Explore by kayak the mangroves of Lac Bay National Park, the beginning of the ecosystem and home to numerous water birds and other interesting flora and fauna.

Grenada
    If you smell nutmeg in the air when you step off the ship in Grenada, it's because this is the spice capital of the world. But there's much more to this tiny island including a beautiful harbor town and luxuriant vegetation.
    Sample Shore Excursions:
  • Grenada's Highlights & Scenic Drive: Visit historic Fort Frederick, picturesque Grand Etang Crater Lake, and Annandale Falls on this guided excursion. Travel along the scenic east coast of the island to Greenville and then on to Grand Etang Lake in Grand Etang National Park, passing verdant groves of banana, cocoa, nutmeg, and other spices.
  • Grenada Explorer Tour: This guided tour surveys the island’s scenic highlights and tours a historic spice plantation. Drive through St. George’s en route to Doulgadston Spice Estate, passing several small villages along the way. On your tour of this historic plantation, learn how spices such as nutmeg, mace, and cocoa are grown and processed the oldfashioned way - by drying in the sun.
  • Royal Mt. Carmel Waterfall Tour: Visit one of Grenada’s picturesque waterfalls. Admire the falls from a distance or walk under them for a brisk and refreshing natural massage.
  • Morne Gazo Nature Hike & Beach Tour: Hike through a low-level rain forest and then relax with a swim in the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Drive through St. George’s over the old Fort Road for a photo stop of the picturesque harbor, on the way to Morne Gazo. This conical hill rises some 1,140 feet above sea level and is forested with semi-deciduous trees — the last forest of its kind on the island.
  • Grenada River Tubing Tour: Cool off the old-fashioned way — by river tubing on one of Grenada’s beautiful rivers. Fed from sources located deep in the island’s interior, this river is nestled amid the exotic tropical rain forest. Be prepared for a thrilling ride down the river, stopping in the pools along the way.

Dominica

Rain Forest Scenic Drive & Jaco Falls: Dominica is known for its fantastic rain forest and this is your chance to see it as well as a beautiful waterfall with very little walking.
Board your air-conditioned transportation and begin with a drive through the Capital of Roseau to the Morne Bruce viewpoint that provides an overview of the city and the ship at the dock. Continue to the Botanical Gardens and view the famous and endangered sissereau and jacko parrots in protective cages along with many large trees, exotic flowers, and tropical plants. Continue towards the interior of the rain forest passing by many plantations with various fruit trees such as mango, banana, avocado, and cacao. Stop at Jaco Falls where a very short, flat walk will take you to the viewpoint where you can look down at the waterfall. Here you can take photos and marvel at the tropical surroundings while enjoying a taste of a local seasonal fruit along with a complementary rum punch or fruit juice. Finally, conclude your rain forest drive through the scenic Layou Valley with its dramatic landscape. The last stop prior to returning to the ship will be for a photo stop at the scenic Layou River, which is the longest and largest river in Dominica
