Overview

Sail from the sun-dappled shores of Miami to Belize’s Barrier Reef splendour, historic Mayan ruins and exciting jungle adventures. At Santo Tomás de Castilla, marvel at the majesty of towering temples and browse in coffee-scented, chocolate-filled marketplaces. Immerse yourself in cultural discovery in Roatán and dive into a rainbow-coral underwater world before relaxing in the Bahamian aquamarine paradise of Ocean Cay. Refreshed and relaxed, we return to Miami’s verve and salsa beats.
