Stroll along world-renowned beaches and savor the flavors and irresistibly electric energy of Miami. Head to South Beach’s Art Deco District to wander through architectural gems from the 1930s, pastel-hued hotels adorned with tropical motifs and still as beautiful as ever.

Let your captain select the sunniest, most serene Bahamian island for you to enjoy based on the temperament of the day – either Great Exuma or San Salvador. The former offers the ivory sands of Emerald Bay and the yachter’s paradise of Georgetown, where you can go sailing and kayaking on Lake Victoria or discover coral gardens and underwater caves on a snorkeling or diving expedition off the coast. Should your captain select San Salvador, an entirely different yet equally fascinating undersea world awaits.

One of the many impressive sights of Trogir, the 13th-century Cathedral of Saint Lawrence houses the Renaissance Chapel of Saint John and offers sweeping views from its bell tower.

The coastline is home to some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches, and that says a lot given this is the Greek Isles. Only accessible by boat, Lalaria is a favorite because of the soaring white cliffs that rise from the pebbly sands and the striking rock formations jutting into the sea.
