7-Night Southern Caribbean From $549
DATE: Nov. 24, 2018
SHIP: Celebrity Summit
ITINERARY: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands;
St. Maarten; Dominica; Barbados; Grenada; San Juan
Taxes, fees, and port expenses of $77 per person are additional.
This trip aboard the Celebrity Summit is not your typical sun-
and-sand Caribbean itinerary. For starters, passengers have the
opportunity to join a half-day San Juan excursion to assist with
hurricane relief. Tasks include planting trees, serving food, and
reading to children — and at the end of the day, you’ll enjoy
a private, typical Puerto Rican meal. Distinct ports of call and
unique activities are next. Kayak to Columbus Landing, a site
where Christopher Columbus touched down on St. Croix, at the
Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.
Take a culinary tour on St. Maarten. Venture off to Cabrits National
Park on Dominica and explore the 18th century Fort Shirley. Go
spelunking in Harrison’s Cave outside Bridgetown, Barbados. And
learn about the spice trade in Grenada.
4-Night Cuba From $639
DATES: Nov. 5; Nov. 12, 2018
SHIP: Norwegian Sky
ITINERARY: Miami, Florida; Havana, Cuba* (overnight); Great Stirrup Cay,
Bahamas; Miami
Free open bar.
Taxes, fees, and port expenses of $168 per person are additional.
*Cultural immersion experiences in Cuba require travel documentation. The cruise line will
facilitate this process for guests.
An overnight stop in Havana allows you ample time to soak up multiple
Cuban experiences. Various city tours are available, and you’ll want
to be sure to visit the Malecón seafront and Plaza de la Revolución
(Revolution Square), in addition to some of the capital’s numerous
churches and forts. El Floridita bar is another must-see — and a
highlight of a Hemingway-inspired tour, during which you’ll also stop
by the author’s local residence, Finca Vigía. After all that sightseeing, a
solid beach day is in order — and Great Stirrup Cay is the perfect place
for it. Go snorkeling, or simply splash
about in the crystal-clear waters and
then relax in a comfortable cabana.
