Old San Juan walking tour
On this walking tour, a local guide will make sure you cover off all of San Juan old town’s best sights. You’ll enter the old town through San Juan Gate and head straight to La Rogativa Monument, an iconic bronze statue on the waterfront. From here, you’ll have panoramic views of the bay, but you’ll get even better pictures from Fort San Felipe del Morro, which is up next. This 16th-century Spanish fortress was designed to guard the entrance to the bay. Nowadays, it’s a World Heritage Site and you can have a look round its interior before moving on to Plaza del Quinto Centenario – a modern square that commemorates the history of the island. Your guide will then take you to a few religious sites, including the San Jose Church, the San Juan Cathedral and Cristo’s Chapel – they’re all built in different styles, so you can see how architecture in Puerto Rico has progressed through the years. At the end of the tour, your guide will walk you back to the ship.

Wacky Truck Waterfall & Rainforest Adventure
Dominica has been dubbed the ‘island of waterfalls’ and, with a nickname like that, it definitely wasn’t meant to be seen through a window. This is one of the Caribbean’s most unspoilt places, and this trip lets you tour the virgin landscape in an access-all-areas truck. Your journey begins with a drive through the rainbow-bright capital, Roseau. You’ll pause at the Morne Bruce viewpoint to get a bird’s-eye view of it, before taking a turn into the rainforest. You’ll spot the Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs and the Ti Tou Gorge as you travel through the tropics – if the latter looks familiar, it’s because it had a starring role in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean 2. There’s a crevice in the mountain here, where hot and cold water mingles in a plunging rock pool. There’ll be some time for a dip and, if you’re brave, you can swim further into the gorge to see one of the isle’s most beautiful waterfalls. Rum punch and fresh fruit will be served as you dry off.

Wacky River Tubing
Get ready for a wet and wild adventure along Dominica’s longest and largest river. You’ll take your seat in a rubber tube ready to battle the currents, rocks and rapids of the Layou River. Feel the cool mountain breeze as you spin and twirl downstream, passing the every changing scenery of this amazing valley. A guide will be with you the whole time, and half-way through the adventure you’ll stop at a natural pool to wait for the others to catch up. This thrilling ride definitely isn’t one for the faint-hearted.

Mustique Magic
The 1400-acre island of Mustique has pulled in more than its fair share of A-listers over the years – everyone from Amy Winehouse to the Queen and Prince Philip has been spotted on its pristine sands. On this tour, we’ll see its charms for ourselves. After boarding a catamaran, we’ll speed away from Bequia, passing the Flintstones-like houses in Moonhole and coasting along the southern edge of the island. Once we arrive at Mustique we’ll have a coastal tour of the island, taking in its lush green valleys and hideaway coves and learning a bit about its history and famous residents. There may also be an option to take an hour-long taxi tour of the island, visiting the gingerbread-style primary school and the famous Cotton House Hotel, and spotting a couple of celebrity homes. When it’s time for lunch, we’ll head to Basil’s Bar and Restaurant – a Mustique institution. After some free time for shopping and sunbathing, we’ll board our boat and head back to Bequia.

Caribbean Pirates Sailaway
You'll board the traditional island schooner Scaramouche for a tour around the coast of Bequia, past the famous Moonhole cave-home area, and on to a tiny, uninhabited rocky island, which was the local whaling station until recently. You'll drop anchor here for 30 mins or so, you can snorkel from the ship, go ashore and explore, or just chill out on the shady decks of the schooner. You'll set sail again heading to for your second stop in the fabulous turquoise waters, with time for a swim at a magnificent white-sand beach before your schooner takes you back to your cruise ship. Caribbean music, rum punch and soft drinks served by the friendly local pirate crew will make this tour unforgettable.
