7 nights. Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Haiti

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.

The Cayman Islands are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea, located ninety miles south of Cuba. Known for their stunning coral reefs and exceptionally clear waters, these islands have become a favorite destination for divers. With great beaches, fine restaurants, and resorts, the Cayman Islands also serve as an excellent tourist destination. Grand Cayman is the largest island, home to most of the population and tourist facilities. George Town, a small yet affluent port city, is the capital of the Cayman Islands. Situated on Grand Cayman, George Town offers a variety of shopping experiences, including the highly sought-after rum cake, various types of jewelry, and endless duty-free shopping available just outside the docks. The main restaurants and bars are located in George Town, and many island tours often start here. The buildings are painted in attractive pastel colors, and the city is well-maintained and pleasant. Grand Cayman is renowned for its Seven Mile Beach, a stunning beach with powdery white sand and aquamarine sea. Located on the west coast, north of George Town, Seven Mile Beach is considered one of the finest beaches in the world. If you love sunshine and the ocean, this might be the perfect place for you.

Labadee (French: Labadie) is a port situated on the northern shoreline of Haiti, within the district of Cap-Haïtien in the Nord department. This private resort is leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., exclusively for the passengers of its three cruise lines: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises, until 2050. Since 1986, Royal Caribbean has been the largest contributor to Haiti's tourist revenue, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their goods on the property for a fee, and paying the Haitian government US $12 per tourist. The resort is entirely geared towards tourists and is protected by a private security force. The area is fenced off from the surrounding region, and passengers are not permitted to leave the property. Food for tourists is supplied from the cruise ships. A regulated group of Haitian merchants are granted exclusive rights to sell their goods and set up their businesses in the resort. Despite sometimes being advertised as an island, it is actually a peninsula connected to the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship docks at the Labadee pier, which can accommodate the Oasis class ships and was completed in late 2009. The nearest commercial airport to Labadee is Cap-Haïtien International Airport. The attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-based playground, an alpine coaster, and the largest zip-line over water.
