Itinerary
- Day 1 – Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida (depart 03:30 PM):
The vibrant gateway to Florida’s Space Coast, Port Canaveral is a place where adventure awaits at every turn. With an abundance of out-of-this-world activities, it can be hard to know where to begin. However, most visitors choose to start their thrilling journey on the sunny shores with a visit to the renowned Kennedy Space Center, a spaceport and visitor complex operated by NASA. Immerse yourself in exhibits and interactive displays that offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and future of space exploration. But the excitement doesn’t end there. Your day continues to look up at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, covering over 140,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness. It serves as a safe haven for a diverse array of plants and animals, making it a birdwatcher’s dream. From the skies to the waterways, you can glide along the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River on a nature cruise in search of playful dolphins and majestic manatees. Alternatively, you can visit the iconic shores of Cocoa Beach, known as the surfing capital of the East Coast and the home of Major Anthony Nelson and Jeannie from the popular 1960s television series “I Dream of Jeannie.” Offering a golden-sand coastline, an abundance of natural adventures, and historical and cultural delights, Port Canaveral will unlock a magical adventure all your own. - Day 2 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 3 – Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 04:00 PM):
Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a small island bursting with turn-of-the-century Caribbean charm, retaining the look and feel of the Caribbean 40 years ago. Grand Turk was founded by Bermudan salt rakers some three centuries ago and its Bermudan-British-colonial architecture surrounded by colorful local dwellings make the island a treasure to visit. It is recognized as being one of the first places in the New World where Christopher Columbus landed and also gained worldwide attention when John Glenn splashed down near Grand Turk on his historic first mission to space. Grand Turk is six miles long and just over a mile wide with a population of only 6,000. It is blessed with miles of uncrowded, beautiful beaches and is close to several uninhabited cays such as Gibb’s Cay, home of the stingray encounter. While there are many landside attractions to explore such as the Old Prison, Lighthouse Park, and the re-created salt salina, the real beauty of the island lies underwater. Grand Turk is world-famous for its healthy and beautiful coral reefs that surround the island, stretching almost from the coastline to the 7,000-foot vertical wall just offshore. - Day 4 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 5 – Aruba (arrive 09:00 AM, depart 09:00 PM):
Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast: the island’s arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast. Aruba’s long and colorful heritage is reflected in its dialect. Called Papiamento, it is a tongue that combines elements of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, African and English. - Day 6 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 7 – NC (arrive 06:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM)

Lying just below the Tropic of Cancer, Mazatlan boasts a superb year-round climate. Mazatlan, a name that means “Place of the Deer,” sits on a peninsula at the feet of the rugged Sierra Madre, and the Cerro de Neveria – “Ice Box Hill” – divides the area’s rocky Pacific beaches from the broad, white-sand beaches beloved by visitors. The climate, the beaches, and the world-class sportfishing have turned this commercial fishing port into one of the world’s top resort destinations. Yet while visitors flock to the markets, bathe in the sun, or marvel at the airborne ballet of the famed Papantla dancers, Mazatlan remains one of Mexico’s major Pacific ports – the city exports over 40 million pounds of shrimp every year. - Day 14 – Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 08:00 PM):
Millennia ago, Cabo San Lucas was part of the Mexican mainland. Then a massive rupture of the San Andreas Fault sent the waters of the Pacific crashing into the newly formed depression, creating the Sea of Cortez and the Baja Peninsula. Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas – or “Cabo” – is one of the premier resort destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax on one of the white-sand beaches or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world.Note: Your ship will anchor in Cabo San Lucas and use launches to transport all passengers ashore. - Day 15 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 16 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 17 – Los Angeles, California (arrive 06:15 AM):
The City of Angels always hovers between dream and reality. Once a near-forgotten colonial outpost, the pueblo metamorphosed into an agrarian paradise before reinventing itself as a movie colony. Perhaps no other city owes so much to the technological innovations of the 20th century, from the automobile to the airplane. Little wonder that LA is oft described as the “dream machine.” In LA, reinvention is a way of life. Yet this talent for change has created a city with a rich ethnic diversity and a sizzling culture. LA is the source for trends that migrate across the country and then the world. Where else can you enjoy a Thai taco or munch on a kosher burrito? Or travel from downtown’s high rises to the beaches of Malibu, shopping in Beverly Hills along the way? Los Angeles is a port of embarkation and disembarkation for some cruises.
