Barcelona, Las Palmas, San Juan, Charlotte amalie, Miami

Barcelona is one of the world's greatest treasures, a global capital of commerce, fashion, culture and sunshine. Cruise visitors should start with a walk down Las Ramblas, the glorious tree-shaded thoroughfare at the heart of the city, enjoy a dive in the wonderful beaches nearby, but, most of all, see what visionary architect Antoni Gaudi wrought. Seven of his creations have been honored as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including La Sagrada Familia, the Park Guell and Casa Mila. Time provided, you can also visit the former Olympic Ring on the hill of Montjuic, home to world-class parks, fountains and museums. Barcelona, which nurtured such artistic giants as Picasso, Dali, Miro and Casals, is definitely a traveler's paradise.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital of the island, is set amidst magnificent scenery composed of two bays and their beautiful beaches, in the north-eastern part of the island. Founded in 1478, the town is characterized by an important historical and cultural heritage, which is depicted in the district of Vegueta, the oldest quarter of the town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, where you can see the Cathedral of Santa Ana, Casa Museo de Colón, Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno & Museo Canario.

St. Thomas's coastline is an endless succession of sandy crescents and protected coves. Start your tour from the main town, Charlotte Amalie and then hit the beaches: Magen's Bay, just on the other side of the island from the main town, Hull Bay, ideal for surfing in winter, Brewer's Bay, for idyllic sunsets or Coki Beach for snorkeling. The highest viewpoint can be reached by aerial tram and it’s called Paradise Point, from which you can get a great view of Charlotte Amalie. For duty-free shopping, there are dozens of stores downtown, ranging from the upscale Yacht Haven Grande to the eclectic Vendor's Plaza, an outdoor marketplace next to Fort Christian and the Legislature building, just at the edge of downtown Charlotte Amalie.
