Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, is a sunny and lively destination famous for beaches, such as Cable Beach and Nirvana Beach. Its rich history dating back to 1670 is told at The Pirates of Nassau Museum with tales of Blackbeard and Edward Teach, and the Pompey Museum of slavery. The pastel-coloured buildings are home to shops, restaurants, bars alongside the Fish Market and the Straw Market, thick with straw crafts and tourist trinkets.

Port Canaveral, located on Florida's Space Coast, is a major port near Cape Canaveral and NASA's Kennedy Space Center. At the visitor complex, bus tours offer behind-the-scenes access to facilities like the towering Vehicle Assembly Building and active launch pads. Visitors can view rockets up close at the Apollo/Saturn V Center and may catch countdowns and launches of spacecraft heading for the cosmos.

Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books. Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our onboard professional photographers.

Founded in 1670, Charleston, the first British South Carolina settlement, is awash with cobbled streets, antebellum homes, gardens, and colonial landmarks like the 1770 College of Charleston, 1771 Old Exchange Building, and 1752 St. Michael’s Church. Horse-drawn carriages tour the colourful Battery and City Market areas, highlighting restored shopfronts and a lively food scene. Charleston Harbor was the site of the Civil War's first shots.

Today as you sail, you’ll bask in the endless comforts of your ship. From the deck, marvel at the dramatic sea views. Relax with a nurturing facial treatment or massage in the spa or delve into the ship’s learning resources. Or, simply take refuge in your cabin and enjoy the opportunity to rest.

One of the world’s most vibrant and exciting cities, the approach to New York City is mesmerising, as icons like the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building come into view amid towering skyscrapers. This lively metropolis invites visitors to attend Broadway shows, appreciate masterpieces at the Met, MoMa or Guggenheim, experience the bright lights of Times Square, or enjoy leisurely strolls through Central Park and across the Brooklyn Bridge.
