Ft. Lauderdale, FL
There is an abundance of things to see and do in the Fort Lauderdale area: visit the newly redesigned Fort Lauderdale Beach and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las Olas Boulevard, or venture to the Everglades for an intriguing airboat excursion.
Nassau, Bahamas
New Providence may not be the largest island in the Bahamas, but it draws the lion’s share of visitors on Bahama cruises worldwide—and with good reason. It’s home to Nassau, the nation’s capital: a bustling harbor front hub whose stately colonial buildings house lively restaurants, bars, galleries, and shops. Beyond the downtown area, you’ll find that plenty of other pleasures beckon. Just across the harbor bridge, for instance, is Paradise Island—and its dazzling Atlantis casino resort and water park (which you can access with a day pass). More aquatic adventures can be had with snorkeling and glass-bottomed-boat excursions to nearby coral reefs.
Interested in Bahamian art and culture? Check out the island’s National Art Gallery, Pirates of Nassau Museum, and 18th-century colonial forts and monuments. If you’d rather just relax amid beautiful Caribbean scenery, try wandering through the lush botanicals at Ardastra Gardens or sunbathing on sugary Cable Beach. Whatever you choose to do while visiting the Bahamas, make sure to sample some local culinary specialties like conch fritters or cracked conch. Like the rest of the island, you’ll almost certainly find that they’re vibrant and just a little exotic, leaving you wanting more.
Key West, Florida, US
One of the first things you’ll notice on your Key West adventure is the colorful gingerbread wooden houses, amazing sunsets, and the constant crowing of roosters. Hundreds of the noisy birds—along with their quieter-clucking mates—roam the streets at all hours and are nearly as synonymous with Key West cruises as its six-toed cats, the famous furry residents of Ernest Hemingway’s mansion in the Old Town district. They’re all part of the quirky charm of the United States' southernmost point, whose compact 11 square kilometers (4.2 square miles) pack in everything from gorgeous historic architecture and spectacular fishing and sailing to a raucous party scene along famed Duval Street. All of these are truly enjoyed by vacationers who cruise to Key West, Florida.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas
Half Moon Cay is the highest-rated private island in the Bahamas. It has consecutively won Porthole Cruise Magazine’s Best Private Island award for 20 years. Holland America Line has spent a quarter of a century perfecting the experience. When you feel the sugar-white sand on your toes or kayak its crystal lagoon, you’ll understand why cruise travelers love Half Moon Cay, a true highlight of your vacation.
