Port Antonio, Jamaica
Navigable rivers, twin harbors, waterfalls, freshwater Blue Holes, and so much more, Port Antonio is said to be the heart and soul of Jamaica. Visit the Blue Lagoon, nearly 200 feet deep it boasts hues of blue and green that amaze and both warm and cold water exist side by side allowing swimmers to find their perfect temperature. Local lore says that Hollywood legend Errol Flynn began the tradition of rafting the Rio Grande to entertain his guests and now visitors recreate the 6-mile journey through rural Jamaica on bamboo rafts.

Oranjestad, Aruba
While the city exhibits beautiful examples of both Dutch and Spanish architecture, it is now a Dutch city, taking its name from the Dutch royal house of Orange, and became the capital Aruba in 1979. When not heading for the famed beaches, the first spot most visitors enjoy is Wilhelmina Park, a lovely tropical garden by the waterfront, great for catching the Caribbean breezes. From here, travel on to the Archaeological Museum of Aruba or the Numismatic Museum of Aruba. The first offers an historical perspective; the latter, a fascinating display of coins from over 400 countries. Fort Zoutman (1796) is the oldest example of Dutch architecture on the island. In 1867, Willem III tower was added. Not only an excellent vantage point for photos, the fort also hosts music festivals and craft fairs.

Willemstad, Curaçao
Discover a touch of old Amsterdam transported to an island paradise. Pastel-hued buildings decorate the waterfront of this very Dutch Caribbean island. Don’t miss a visit to the colorful floating market, just a short walk from the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge. A World Heritage site, the Punda district preserves hundreds of buildings as national monuments including Fort Amsterdam, the Governor’s Palace, Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, one of the first synagogue’s in the New World, and the waterfront’s colorful Penha building.

Kralendijk, Bonaire
Just 50 miles north of Venezuela, Bonaire is part of the Netherlands Antilles, which includes St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, Saba and Curacao. In 1951, the first hotel opened on Bonaire, and tourism has been the dominant industry ever since. With a dazzling array of fish and coral reefs and spectacularly clear water (100-ft visibility), Bonaire offers some of the best dive spots in the Caribbean.

Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Among the most pristine islands of the Caribbean, Nevis has a pace of life that encourages visitors to explore its natural beauty. Famed for its charm and the easy-going genuineness of its people, Charlestown is a far cry from the bustling capitals of other Caribbean islands. Take a stroll along its delightful streets to see one of the best remaining examples of Georgian-style buildings from the 18th and 19th century. Visit the Botanical Gardens with cascading pools and examples of tropical plants from all over the world or choose to play a round of golf at the spectacular Robert Trent Jones course.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
St. Maarten is the smallest piece of land shared by two sovereign states. Legend has it that the Dutch and French boundaries of the island were determined by two men who challenged one another in a race around the island, with the Frenchman walking faster and claiming more land. Legend or not, both the Dutch and French settled here in the 1630s and despite occupancy by the British twice, the Dutch and French have lived peacefully together ever since they arrived.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Spend a glorious day swimming at famed Cane Bay Garden Beach, hiking the island’s rainforest and enjoying a scenic drive around this lush island. Swim with dolphins, go sea kayaking or head over to Virgin Gorda and climb down to the famous Baths for a day of swimming and exploring this natural phenomenon. Take home charming local crafts, straw items, artwork and resort wear. Enjoy local fish dishes or perhaps a pub lunch or burger!

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico's first inhabitants were the Taino Indians, who encountered Columbus in 1493. The Spanish quickly settled, defending their territory against the Dutch and British. This is evident by the imposing fortresses of Old San Juan, namely the El Morro Castle, dominating the old section of this capital city. In 1897, Spain declared Puerto Rico an autonomous state. Spain later ceded Puerto Rico to the U.S. and residents were granted American citizenship in 1917.
