Miami Beach is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. Take an Art Deco tour of Miami Beach to fully appreciate the area's signature architecture. The South Beach Art Deco District is a whimsical collection of more than 800 architecturally protected buildings in Miami Beach from the 1930s and 1940s – a definite must-see. Stay in one of its boutique or throwback hotels – you'll also find some of Miami Beach's finest dining, nightlife and spas here. North Beach's Ocean Terrace is fast becoming a smaller version of South Beach, with inviting oceanfront hotels and cafés. Regardless, be sure to go for a beachside stroll or to Haulover Park for fishing, bike rides, tennis or golf. And, of course, Miami Beach’s nightlife always concludes an unforgettable vacation day.

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 16:00

CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands, and is located approximately 88 kilometres north of Nassau. It is used exclusively for tourism by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruises' private island since 1977. In 2019, the island underwent extensive renovations by Royal Caribbean at a cost of $250 million USD. A pier was built on the north side of the island, allowing cruise ships to dock directly instead of using tenders. The east end is the hub of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be observed. Nature trails span the entire length and breadth of the island. The renovation also included a water park, with North America’s largest water slide, Daredevil’s Peak.

Curaçao is an island in the Caribbean, among the group known as the ABC Islands alongside Aruba and Bonaire. One of the most notable things about the island is its culture. Curaçao has a lovely mix of Caribbean, European, and Latino culture. The streets and buildings have a European appearance, but the people, the food, the music and the colourful street markets have a distinctly Caribbean feel. Willemstad is the capital of Curaçao. Willemstad has a stunning old town. Many of the buildings were built in the colonial Dutch style in the early 18th century. The facades of these buildings are a kaleidoscope of colours ranging from pastel shades to vibrant blues, greens, reds, purples, jades, and buffs in a wide variety of shades. Friendly locals, fantastic climate, white sand, crystal clear water, some of the world’s best scuba diving spots, European-style architecture, a unique international floating market, the world’s longest floating bridge and the many opportunities for excursions and entertainment really make Curacao a place that should be on your Caribbean wish list.

Day 10

galveston, texas

Arrival: 06:00

Galveston is a seaside resort city on Galveston Island and Pelican Island in the U.S. state of Texas. Covering 208.3 square miles (539 km²), it had an estimated population of 47,762 people in 2012. It is the county seat and the second-largest municipality in Galveston County, and forms part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Named after Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez, Galveston’s first European settlements were built on the island around 1816 by the French privateer Louis-Michel Aury to support the fledgling Republic of Mexico in its fight against Spain. The Port of Galveston was established in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico after it gained independence from Spain. The city served as the main port for the Texas Navy during the Texas Revolution, and later became the capital of the Republic of Texas. In the 19th century, Galveston grew into a major U.S. commercial centre and one of the largest ports in the country. It was devastated by the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which brought severe flooding and a powerful storm surge. This natural disaster on the exposed barrier island remains the deadliest in United States history, with an estimated death toll of between 6,000 and 12,000 people. Today, Galveston’s economy is largely based on tourism, health care, shipping, and financial services. A major economic driver is the 84-acre (340,000 m²) University of Texas Medical Branch campus, which enrols more than 2,500 students. Galveston is also home to six historic districts that contain one of the largest and most significant collections of 19th-century buildings in the United States, with over 60 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
