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.

St John (US Virgin Islands)
St. John is well known for its well-preserved natural beauty and attractive beaches. Restricted development and preservation in St. John contrasts heavily with such adjacent and overdeveloped islands as St. Thomas and St. Maarten. St. John is an exclusive travel and honeymoon destination with several resorts and one of the top ten beaches in the world

Gustavia
Gustavia, St. Barts
Gustavia, the capital of St. Barts (also known as St. Barths), is a chic and upscale port nestled among a picturesque harbor. Dozens of white sand beaches, soothing lagoons and a lush, green landscape abound on this French West Indies island.
Castries
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.
