Day 3 – Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos

February 13, 2027
Take a break from the cards and enjoy a day in paradise!

When you take a cruise to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands, you might envision that you're pulling into paradise — and you wouldn't be the first. Christopher Columbus made landfall here in 1492 on Guanahani Beach. Nearly 500 years later, astronaut John Glenn splashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast when he hurtled from space as the first person to orbit the earth in 1962. A trip to Grand Turk is bursting with monumental experiences. As you take in the island's natural appeal, don't forget to pay attention to its history with a visit to the Turks and Caicos National Museum. Visitors can learn about the islands' native Lucayan culture as well as its salt-raking industry. Head into the water on a snorkeling or diving adventure to observe the island's reefs and wrecks firsthand. Make sure that water experiences are the top of your list of things to do in Grand Turk
In port: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Day 4 – Cruising (Valentine’s Day + Super Bowl Celebration)

• Romantic and festive Valentine’s Day moments
• Group celebrations and surprises

• Cocktails, great company, and unforgettable memories

Whether you’re boo’d up or just here for the fun, this day is all about love, vibes, and touchdowns.
