| ITINERARY: |
January 21, 2026: SAN JUAN.
Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and a twist of the American dream. Roam historic Old San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colorful buildings. Learn how to move, as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamorous boutiques for artisan goods, and decadent designers. Explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum tasting cocktail and polish off some empanadas. Then retire to one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters, and perhaps, one last rum cocktail.
January 22, 2026: GUSTAVIA, Saint Barthelemy
Mingle amongst the other discerning guests on this French isle that exudes relaxed glamour. Wander along secluded beaches, harborside Creole huts, drop into bohemian bars and snorkel gently through warm turquoise waters. Visit La Tourmente, the peaceful salt ponds and admire uninterrupted views on a local boat trip. And as you sip your second glass of champagne to the lull of the gentle waves, it might be time to learn the French for "paradise found".
January 23, 2026: ROAD TOWN, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
A tropical utopia with soaring peaks for climbing, waves for surfing, wrecks for snorkeling, and cocktails with locally sourced rum. All around Road Town, the capital of the British Virgin Islands, are streets lined with brightly colored buildings built during the days of colonial Dutch and British rule. Check out Pusser's Painkiller Bar for a namesake punch before venturing into the humid embrace of the high-canopied forest of Sage Mountain. Beyond are adventures at every turn; zip-line through treetops; dive coral-laden lagoons, explore jungles with 4x4's, or lounge on countless postcard-perfect beaches. And, since this is the so-called "sailing capital of the Caribbean", don't miss catching a catamaran navigating to a scattering of uninhabited islands.
January 24, 2026: ST. JOHNS, Antigua and Barbuda
An adrenaline rush awaits. Swim with stingrays. Zip-line through lush forests. Walk across a gorge on a scenic suspension bridge. Sip excellent aged rums. Taste the island with a chef. Or, stroll St John's old town to tour cottages laden with cheerful fretwork. Explore British forts atop Shirley Heights and Goat Hill. Then rest and rejuvenate with VIP reservations at one of Anguilla's snow white beaches and enjoy a cozy lounger and rum drinks.
January 25, 2026: ROAD BAY, Anguilla
Restore in blissfully quiet yet sophisticated laid-back island life. Roam amongst wildlife, learn fascinating insights into Anguilla's quirky history and gently wander to the limestone cavern of Katouche cave. Embark on a guided quad bike tour for a glimpse of island life and sail over electric blue seas to reach remote paradise at private Little Bay, where jagged cliffs flank pristine sands. Casually kayak or paddleboard through warm breezes and calm waters to secluded coves and indulge in refreshing cocktails with butter-soaked grilled lobster at enticing beach bars, with toes submerged in the softest, whitest and fines sand.
January 26, 2026: AT SEA
January 27, 2026: AT SEA
January 28, 2026: MIAMI, Florida, USA
Welcome to Miami and the sweep of South Beach- backdrop to every iconic Miami movie, and forefront of Latin American culture. Stroll through pastel-hued geometric buildings in the art deco district, to graffiti mural masterpieces at Wynwood Walls. Watch Latino life unfold in Little Havana- the heartbeat of this great city- where walk-up windows sell cafe cortadito, sweet sugarcane juice, hatuey beer and guava ice cream. Watch passionate locals discuss politics, play dominoes and smoke cigars. Shimmy at a salsa class, shop designer boutiques and race marlin and sharks by speedboat. Then slow your pace to uncover rare and endangered species at the Everglades National Park outdoor oasis. You'll find the Miami dream is real- and it's not just Cuban heels that will give you a spring in your step.
