◆Ports you’ll visit◆
Port Canaveral
Rocket launch coast and the gateway to Kennedy Space Center and Orlando.
Heads up: Disney and Universal are 60-75 min away; there is no Orlando at the port.
Nassau
Speedboats to swimming pigs, turquoise reefs, and hammock afternoons.
St. Maarten
Jets skimming Maho Beach and catamarans bound for Anguilla sands.
Heads up: The $8 water taxi beats the 20-min walk along the road.
Miami
Airboats gliding past gators, art deco pastels, and Cuban cafecito buzz.
Heads up: South Beach is a 15-25 min ride, not a walk from the port.
St. Lucia
Sail beneath the Pitons, soak in a volcanic mud bath, rinse under a waterfall.
Heads up: The postcard Pitons are a 90-min mountain drive from the dock.
Aruba
UTVs to the natural pool, then reef and shipwreck snorkeling by catamaran.
Heads up: Palm Beach and Eagle Beach still need a 15-20 min bus or taxi.
