Ports

Fort Lauderdale

Originally a fort built by the U.S. Army in 1838, during the Second Seminole War, Ft. Lauderdale has little left of its warlike past. Instead the city welcomes visitors with broad beaches and an easy pace of life, plus convenient air and water connections that make the city a perfect place to begin or end a cruise.

Elsewhere on the island, Plantation Great Houses, historic museums and thundering waterfalls await you.

Queen Elizabeth once visited Castries, and the St Lucians have never forgotten it. It was for her that they named Queen's Drive—the road around this island that boasts a volcano, riotous botanical gardens and excellent whale-watching opportunities. In town, watch as natives fashion boats from gum trees, write your postcards in a Creole cafe or keep an eye out for exquisite silk-screened fabrics.
