7 nights. Bahamas, Jamaica, Cayman Islands

Day 1

miami, florida

Departure: 16:00

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.

perfect day cococay - bahamas

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

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.

The Bahama Islands are an archipelago made up of roughly 2,000 islands when you take into account the cays, which are wee islands that form on coral reefs. Nassau, located on New Providence, is the capital of the Bahamas and boasts a blend of vibrant Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. Nassau is positioned on the northern tip of New Providence, overlooking the bay between the main island and Paradise Island. The vast majority of the country's population resides in Nassau on New Providence Island and in the Freeport area on Grand Bahama. Nassau showcases a blend of vibrant Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. The colonial beauty of the Historical Town of Nassau is well worth a visit. The pink Parliament Building, which has a statue of a seated Queen Victoria out front, is the most stunning sight in Nassau. The Pirate Museum is another major attraction in Nassau. The interactive museum tells the story of the history of pirates. The City of Nassau is landscaped in a beautiful tropical setting. The local greenery is purely captivating and the variety of tropical plants they've preserved here certainly add to the charm of the country. The Bahama Islands draw in tourists with their favourable climate and relaxed lifestyle, their stunning and vibrant nature, their crystal blue waters and their friendly locals.

Day 5

falmouth, jamaica

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 18:00

Falmouth is the main town and capital of the parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. It sits on Jamaica’s north coast, about 18 miles east of Montego Bay, and is regarded as one of the Caribbean’s best-preserved Georgian towns. Founded by Thomas Reid in 1769, Falmouth thrived for around forty years as a busy market centre and port, during a period when Jamaica was the world’s leading sugar producer. It was named after Falmouth in Cornwall, United Kingdom, the birthplace of Sir William Trelawny, the Governor of Jamaica who played a key role in establishing the town. From the outset, Falmouth was carefully planned, with broad streets laid out in a regular grid, a reliable water supply, and substantial public buildings. Remarkably, it had a piped water system before New York City. Today, Falmouth still has a number of notable historic buildings in the Jamaican Georgian style, many of which are in need of careful preservation and restoration.

The Cayman Islands are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea, about ninety miles south of Cuba. Their beautiful coral reefs and exceptionally clear waters have made them a favourite destination for divers. Superb beaches along with excellent restaurants and resorts also make them an outstanding spot for holidaymakers. Grand Cayman is the largest island and is home to most of the population and tourist facilities. George Town, a small but affluent port city, is the capital of the Cayman Islands. Located on Grand Cayman, it’s where you’ll find all the main shopping, including the ever-popular rum cake, a wide range of jewellery, and endless duty-free options right by the docks. Most of the main restaurants and bars are in George Town, and many of the island tours start out from here. The buildings are painted in attractive pastel colours, and the city is very well maintained and pleasant to wander around. Grand Cayman is best known for Seven Mile Beach, a stunning stretch of powdery white sand and turquoise sea. Located on the west coast, north of George Town, Seven Mile Beach is often ranked among the finest beaches in the world. If you’re fond of sunshine and the sea, this could be the ideal place for you.
