Day 1

Fort Lauderdale, Florida , United States

Monday, 13/12/2027

🚢 Departs 15:00

Like many southeast Florida neighbors, Fort Lauderdale has long been revitalizing. In a state where gaudy tourist zones often stand aloof from workaday downtowns, Fort Lauderdale exhibits consistency at both ends of the 2-mile Las Olas corridor. The sparkling look results from upgrades both downtown and on the beachfront. Matching the downtown's innovative arts district, cafés, and boutiques is an equally inventive beach area, with hotels, cafés, and shops facing an undeveloped shoreline, and new resort-style hotels replacing faded icons of yesteryear. Despite wariness of pretentious overdevelopment, city leaders have allowed a striking number of glittering high-rises. Nostalgic locals and frequent visitors fret over the diminishing vision of sailboats bobbing in waters near downtown; however, Fort Lauderdale remains the yachting capital of the world, and the water toys don’t seem to be going anywhere.

Aruba , Aruba

Thursday, 16/12/2027

⚓ Arrives 09:00 🚢 Departs 18:00

Aruba, known as “One Happy Island,” is a sun-soaked paradise in the southern Caribbean, famous for its pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Visitors flock to Palm Beach and Eagle Beach for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, while adventurous travelers can explore the island’s rugged interior at Arikok National Park, home to unique rock formations, caves, and native wildlife. The capital, Oranjestad, charms with its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, lively markets, and waterfront dining. Aruba’s warm, dry climate and steady trade winds make it perfect for sailing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding year-round. The island also boasts vibrant local culture, with a mix of Caribbean, Dutch, African, and indigenous influences celebrated in music, festivals, and cuisine. Friendly locals, luxury resorts, and a variety of attractions—from snorkeling and scuba diving to casinos and nightlife—ensure every traveler finds something to enjoy. Aruba truly offers a blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural experiences.

Day 9

Puntarenas , Costa Rica

Tuesday, 21/12/2027

⚓ Arrives 07:00 🚢 Departs 19:00

This town is not on the Nicoya Peninsula, but rather on Costa Rica's mainland. It is best known as a cruise-ship port and launching pad for ferries heading southeast to the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula and for cruises sailing out on the Gulf of Nicoya. Puntarenas is also a major fishing port with a lively fish market. The town’s reputation suffers from the unimpressive parts you see from your car as you roll through town on the way to the ferry dock. But the town has a lot of character off the main drag, thanks to its illustrious past as an affluent port town and principal vacation spot for San José's wealthy, who arrived by train in the last century. Once the port was moved and roads opened to other beaches, Puntarenas's economy crashed, but it's making a comeback. Sitting on a narrow spit of sand—punta de arenas literally means "point of sand"—that protrudes into the Gulf of Nicoya, the town boasts a beautifully groomed, wide Blue Flag beach with views of the Nicoya Peninsula and spectacular sunsets, along with a public swimming pool, the San Lucas Beach Club, and a marine-life museum. Ticos arrive by bus and car to enjoy the beach and stroll the Paseo de los Turistas, a beachfront promenade lined with tree-shaded concrete benches and seafood restaurants. Crowds of locals, called porteños, cruise by on bicycles, the town’s most popular form of transport.
