St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Day 4 – 9:00 AM

The busiest cruise port in the world, St. Thomas and its duty-free shops are a bargain hunter's dream. This is the place for a duty-free shopping spree for cameras, jewelry, watches and perfume. Take a break from shopping and visit the lairs of buckaneers such as Blackbeard and play on the beach at Magen's Bay, a pretty and popular stretch of white sand. Take a harbor cruise on a "kon tiki." The atmospheric Hotel 1829, the street of 99 steps, the paintings of Camille Pissaro at the Government House are just a few of the attractions to be seen on this, the second largest of the three major U.S. Virgin Islands.

Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda
Day 5 – 9:00 AM
Antigua Guatemala, Antigua and Barbuda
It was the ubiquitous explorer, Christopher Columbus, who gave Antigua its name. On his second voyage to the New World in 1493, Columbus named the island in homage to Seville's Santa Maria de la Antigua. Before sailing off on his adventure, which many believed would take him to the edge of the earth, the intrepid Italian sailor prayed in the church named for the miracle-working saint. One of the present-day miracles of the island is the abundant sunshine and splendid run of beaches, all 365 of them. More than a century later, in 1632, an English party arrived from St. Kitts and claimed Antigua for the British Crown, a relationship that lasted until 1981, when Antigua gained full independence.

Basseterre, St Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Day 8 – 9:00 AM
Basseterre, St Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Don't let St. Kitts' diminutive size fool you. Within its scant 65 square miles are found some of the most stunning scenery and interesting historical attractions in the Caribbean. See the 17th century citadel atop Brimstone Hill, site of endless squabbles between the French and English. Take a catamaran cruise to powdery white-sand beaches. Or join an eco-tour into the rainforest where, with a little bit of luck, you might spy St. Kitts' very own green vermet monkey playing in the jungle canopy. In Basseterre, a mini-London, there's Piccadilly Circus to shop and a gingerbread version of Big Ben by which to check the hour.

Saint George's, Grenada
Day 16 – 7:00 AM
Saint George's, Grenada
If you smell nutmeg in the air when you step off the ship in Grenada, it's because this is the spice capital of the world. Grenada grows everything from pepper to pimento. But there's much more to this tiny island including a beautifull harbor town and luxuriant vegetation. By law, no building on the island may stand taller than a coconut palm tree. Browse through shops of the Esplanade or lounge on sparkling Grand Anse beach. In St. George's, explore the picture-perfect harbor, or follow your nose to Annandale Falls, where the scent of 450 species of flowering and medicinal plants turn the simple act of breathing into an exotic experience.

Kralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
Day 17 – 12:00 AM
Kralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
Fewer than 2,000 people live in this sleepy, two-story town, where the main street is a stone's throw from end to end. Although salt has been the island's economic mainstay for centuries, the town's name (Dutch for coral reef) reveals that it's the capital of diving - reefs being to Bonaire what cable cars are to San Francisco. A walking tour pamphlet, available from the tourist office, will lead you on a merry jig to the town's attractions. One of the best sights is the 19th-century Fort Oranje (now serving as the Harbor Office) and its adjacent stone lighthouse. The Bonaire Museum is a sweet local affair, housing exhibits on the Caiquetio Indians as well as more recent art, artifacts, and household items. Amoung the numerous activities to choose from are diving, snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, biking, and birding.

Aruba, Netherlands Antilles
Day 18 – 7:00 AM
Aruba, Netherlands Antilles
If the thought of Aruba conjures up images of the palm-lined, sandy white beaches featured in Caribbean travel brochures, glitzy casinos and great shopping, you're not alone. Most first-time visitors to Aruba are attracted to the island for just those reasons. Sunny skies, cool breezes, and water temperatures averaging a fabulous 80° are ideal for the beach. They're just as ideal for diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing, all of which can be done from that very same beach. Whether you stay at one of Aruba's in-town hotels or along the beach, you will be within easy walking distance of world-class dining, casinos and Las Vegas-style entertainment, along with great dance clubs, pubs and outdoor cafés. Travel between the lovely capital, Oranjestad, home to many of the finest shops in the Caribbean, and the beachfront hotels is just a short cab or bus ride away. Those who venture further afield will be aptly rewarded with championship golf at a course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., mysterious Indian caves, terrific diving, including the largest wreck in the Caribbean, and panoramic vistas of the island's rugged north coast.<p>Best of all, despite the fact that Aruba is one of the fastest growing destinations in the Caribbean, her Dutch-Caribbean charm promises to remain intact.<p>Annual Events<UL><LI><B>The Bon Bini Festival: </B>Fort Zoutman hosts this weekly festival of Aruban arts and crafts, folkloric music and dance, and local foods on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.<B></B></LI><LI><B>Carnival:</B> Arubans spend the year preparing for this week of non-stop merrymaking, which comes to a close at midnight just before Ash Wednesday.
