Imagine cruising through the sun-soaked islands of the Caribbean, where the spectacular beauty of St. Barts, the pristine beaches of Aruba, and the French colonial charm of Martinique never fail to enchant. Experience the thrill of landing your first catch, deep-sea fishing the turquoise waters of the Mexican Riviera. Follow in hushed awe as a local guide uncovers hidden paths in the rain forest leading to a postcard perfect waterfall, or to a promontory overlooking the steaming rim of one of the Caribbean's many dormant volcanoes. Explore the 17th century plantations of St. Kitts, the beautiful churches of St. George's, the colorful marketplaces at Soufriere and the Spanish tiled courtyards of San Juan. Walk the parapets of a 16th century fort, ancient cannons intact and seeming still to be poised to defend against marauding pirates. Or wander cobblestone streets with names from the "old countries," all the while keenly aware of the pervasive fragrance of tropical blossoms.

What to Pack

Days onboard are casual and you'll be most comfortable in sport clothes and resort wear. Shoes should be low-heeled for deck activities. Bring a few swimsuits so you'll always have a dry one. You don't have to bring towels, as they are provided. But don't forget your camera and binoculars, so you don't miss a thing.

For evening wear, count on three basic types of attire: Casual: Dresses or slacks and blouses for women, sport shirts and trousers for men
Smart Casual: Dresses or pantsuits for women, jackets for men
Formal: Cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties or tuxedos for men (you can arrange to rent a tuxedo onboard)

Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun.
