DAY AT SEA (JANUARY 18)

GRAND TURK, TURKS AND CAICOS (JANUARY 19, 8:00 A.M.—3:00 P.M.): The beautiful Island of Grand Turk is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos. Take the time to explore Cockburn Town’s wonderful selection of historical buildings including many Bermudian and Colonial style buildings and ruins. Deep offshore waters serve as major transit points for Humpback Whales, spotted Eagle Rays, Manta Rays and Turtles. Like to fish? Tuna, Wahoo and Blue Marlin inhabit these same rich waters. If you’re a diver, or simply interested in diving, Grand Turk is the place for you. With many dive operators and schools, it can cater from novice snorkeling to experienced divers.

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO (JANUARY 20, 12:00 P.M.—8:00 P.M.):In days of yore, the waters near Puerto Rico teemed with pirate ships commanded by the likes of Sir Francis Drake. Aye, they are long gone, but in their wake they have left an island of national treasures: La Casa Blanca, built in 1501 for the island’s first governor, Ponce de Leon; the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan; the tropical rain forests of El Yunque.

PHILIPSBURG (ST. MAARTEN) (JANUARY 21, 8:00 A.M.—3:00 P.M.): Philipsburg, the capital of Dutch St. Maarten, combines its historical legacy with 21st century sophistication.
