Sailing Itinerary

Note: Cruise itineraries are subject to change. Please verify ports and times directly with the cruise line.

Day 1 Port of Call Fort Lauderdale Departure 4:00p.m.

Overview

Fort Lauderdale is a city on Florida's southeastern coast, known for its beaches and boating canals. The Strip is a promenade running along oceanside highway A1A. It's lined with upscale outdoor restaurants, bars, boutiques, and luxury hotels. Other attractions include the International Swimming Hall of Fame, with pools and a museum of memorabilia, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, featuring trails and a lagoon.

Day 2 Port of Call Bimini Islands Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 5:00p.m.

Overview

Located just 50 miles off the east coast of Miami is the tiny fishing paradise known as Bimini. Bimini is not only the nearest (hence the name gateway) and most accessible island by boat, but also the smallest of the 700 islands in the archipelago called The Bahamas. The island is rich in history and has played host to famous persons from as far back as Ponce de Leon, the Spanish Explorer who came in search of the Fountain of Youth in 1513. Bimini was the first island in the Caribbean to have a casino, The Bimini Rod & Gun Club, the remnants of which today serve as a home e. Bimini is hardly a palm-fringed paradise. Abundant casuarina trees and older homes give it a summer camp look. The rustic bars and hotels that cater to the loads of game fishermen, divers & snorkelers lend Bimini a slightly honky-tonk atmosphere. But the exotic of the tropics is never far from her coasts. Divers are all over the shallow turquoise waters, and glass bottom boats load up passengers to view "Atlantis" off North Bimini's Paradise Point.

Day 3 Cruising
Day 4 Port of Call Cozumel Arrival 7:00a.m. Departure 8:00p.m.

Overview

The beautiful island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico, is a paradise for divers worldwide. The island is surrounded by more than 25 reef formations where divers of all ages and skills can enter into a completely fascinating and different world: endless coral inhabited by immense shoals of colorful fish. The possibilities are interminable for both beginners and experts. East of the Yucatán Peninsula, on top of the age-old structures of the Mayan coral reef, the second largest in the world, stands the Island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico. Its name, derived from the word Cozumel, meaning “island of swallows” in Maya, conjures up memories of its pre-Hispanic origin, the conquest of America, and the pirates and buccaneers that thronged its seas. The Island of Cozumel measures 48 km from north to south but only 16 from east to west. On either side of the island, beaches form a long, white sandy coast. Gentle waves and transparent waters wash the western side of the island, while huge waves crash against the eastern side. Its flora and fauna have several unusual features, including certain endemic species, such as the dwarf raccoon and the Cozumel wren. Cozumel’s greatest wealth, however, lies underwater.

Day 5 Cruising
