Description

11 Night Cruise sailing from Ft Lauderdale roundtrip aboard Voyager. 11 Night Cruise sailing from Ft Lauderdale roundtrip aboard Voyager.

Following closely in the wake of the Seven Seas Mariner, the new 700-guest Seven Seas Voyager is the world's second all-suite, all-balcony ship and the second to feature a restaurant operated by Le Cordon Bleu® of Paris. There are four main dining venues, surprising for a ship of her size. The Voyager also features some of the highest space and service ratios at sea, and her suites are the largest "lead-in" suites in the industry. Seven Seas Voyager offers an unusual array of pleasurable pastimes - including some activities rarely available even in the finest resorts on land. Contract Bridge, for example, complimentary computer classes, art auctions and classes in ballroom dancing.

Highlights of your cruise include:

Ft Lauderdale
Ft. Lauderdale sits in the middle of the burgeoning megalopolis known as South Florida, which hugs the Atlantic coast from Miami in the south (a 35-minute car ride away) to Palm Beach in the north. It is the principal city in huge Broward County, two-thirds of which is swampland in the Everglades. What isn"t swampy includes 23 miles of beaches and 28 municipalities. And plenty of water"within the Ft. Lauderdale city limits alone there are more than 165 miles of navigable waterways (and more than 42,000 registered yachts). Downtown Ft. Lauderdale is peppered with high-rise buildings; sidewalk cafes and shops line the New River; the Arts and Science District, anchored by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, lures the culturally minded. Las Olas Boulevard is best known for its relaxed alfresco shopping and its people watching in the heart of downtown Ft. Lauderdale. The street is lined with boutiques, bars and a shaded walkway for strolling. And getting around the city is part of the sport: Water taxis now ply the maze of waterways that link residential neighborhoods to sights, restaurants, shops and Port Everglades. The Tequesta Indians were the city"s original inhabitants. After the Spanish took Florida as their own, the Seminole Indians, who lived in the northern reaches of the state, started moving southward. In 1837, during the Seminole Wars, the city"s namesake, Major William Lauderdale, built a fort at the mouth of the New River, which now snakes through the city center. Cruise ships dock at Port Everglades, which is about 3 miles southeast of downtown Ft. Lauderdale. The port is convenient to downtown Ft. Lauderdale, the beaches are about 3 miles north, and the airport is just 2 miles southwest of the port.

St Kitts
Upon discovering it in 1493, Christopher Columbus was so enchanted by this volcanic island's natural surroundings, that he named it after himself. The British established their first Caribbean colony on this island in 1623, and fought for control of both St. Kitts and Nevis for many years. To protect their territory, they built the imposing fort of Brimstone over the course of 100 years on the island of St. Kitts. Today St. Kitts and Nevis made up of miles of tropical rainforests, waterfalls, rock formations and fertile hills, are together considered an Independent Member of the British Commonwealth.

Grand Turk
Just 7 mi (11 km) long and a little over 1 mi (2.5 km) wide, Grand Turk, the capital and seat of the Turks & Caicos government, has been a longtime favorite destination for divers eager to explore the 7,000-foot-deep pristine coral walls that drop down only 300 yards out to sea. On shore, the tiny, quiet island is home to white-sand beaches, the National Museum, and a few wild horses and donkeys, which leisurely meander past the white-walled courtyards, pretty churches, and bougainvillea-covered colonial inns on their daily commute into town. The main settlement on the island is tranquil Cockburn Town, and that's where most of the small hotels-not to mention Pillory Beach-can be found. Although it has the second-largest number of inhabitants of all the Turks & Caicos islands, Grand Turk's permanent population has still not reached 4,000.
