Eastern Caribbean — Icon of the Seas

A week on one of the largest cruise ships in the world, a floating resort in its own right: seven pools, six waterslides, an ice rink, a surf simulator and more than forty places to eat and drink. Two lazy days at sea from Miami give you time to explore it all before the Caribbean begins.

St Maarten with its planes skimming over Maho Beach, St Thomas and the duty-free lanes of Charlotte Amalie, and a last day on the private island of Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, where the water is as blue as the brochures promise.
