7 nights 3 ports round-trip from Fort Lauderdale Island paradise - Labadie (Totally new, rebuilt, helping the people, and the local economy) a 260-acre wooded peninsula at Pointe Ste. Honore about six miles from Cap Haitien on the mountainous and secluded northern coast of Haiti. Has the distinctive charm of delivering in just one place some of the best beaches of the Caribbean, a bit of History and a bright, colorful palette of arts, crafts and people. Further west along the coast, another beach, and then suddenly around a bend, the magnificent Baie d’Acul (Bay of Acul), almost completely closed off from the Ocean and immune to any storm. Discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, Labadee was later used as a trading post by visiting ships and their crews. The peninsula has been restored since the time of the buccaneers and now features abundant activities for guest of all ages. On a clear day, you can see the famous Ile de la Tortue (Tortuga Island) on the horizon. The beach of Labadie is one of the most well-kept and well-equipped of the country. It is also one of the beaches most visited by foreign tourists. Five spectacular beaches Nature trails Daily folkloric shows Shaded hammocks Secluded coves Nellie’s Place, a historic site Open air dining areas Beachside refreshment bars Native marketplace Artisan’s market Recreational Highlights Labadee features a variety of water activities including: Snorkeling ● Waverunners ● Parasailing ● Kayak Adventure Thriller Powerboat ● Floating Beach Mats ● Banana Boat The Dragons Flight Zip Line – a 4,000 ft. long zip line over the water of Dragon’s Tail Beach Arawak Aqua Park: Floating Trampolines ● Inflatable Iceberg shaped Slides ● Water Seesaws ●Rolling Log Language: French, Creole Discover a Treasured Past! Inspired by a rich Georgian architectural history, the Historic Port of Falmouth come alive for visitors, providing a rich and interesting destination experience. The historically-based -- to the West Indies of yesteryear. Capitalizing on Falmouth’s rich history and Georgian architecture, the Historic Port of Falmouth utilizes local woods, limestone, brick, and corrugated metals in its design. Falmouth is considered by many to be like the Colonial Williamsburg of the Caribbean. Take a stroll through Falmouth's Historic District and explore an impressive collection of nineteenth-century Georgian architecture. Visit the Greenwood Great House museum, and you'll find yourself in the middle of the 19th century. Take a romantic ride down the Martha Brae River on a 30-foot bamboo raft. Hunt for bargains in Water Square, where you'll discover the Albert George Shopping and Historical center. And a trip to Falmouth wouldn't be complete without sampling one of the over 300 different Jerk recipes.  Language: English  Falmouth Jamaica   Beach at Cozumel   Just off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula sits the island of Cozumel, Mexico draped in lush, tropical vegetation. The reefs that fringe the island beckon divers and snorkelers. The most popular shore excursions include snorkeling on famous Palancar Reef or a beginner's dive at Paraiso Reef. A land tour will provide a nice taste of Mexico -- Cozumel has done much to retain its Mexican character. Tourists also may want to take a short trip inland to visit the great pyramids and temples of the Mayas.  East of the Yucatán Peninsula, on top of the age-old structures of the Mayan coral reef, the second largest in the world, stands the Island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico. Its name, derived from the word Cuzamil, meaning “island of swallows” in Maya, conjures up memories of its pre-Hispanic origin, the conquest of America and the pirates and buccaneers that thronged its seas. The Island of Cozumel measures 48 km from north to south but only 16 from east to west. On either side of the island, beaches form a long, white sandy coast. Gentle waves and transparent waters wash the western side of the island, while huge waves crash against the eastern side. Its flora and fauna have a number of unusual features and include certain endemic species, such as the dwarf raccoon and the Cozumel wren. Cozumel’s greatest wealth, however, lies underwater.

Ft Lauderdale (Port of departure) is a city of islands held together by an intricate web of canals, rivers, bays and waterways hundreds of miles long. Needless to say, boating is a favorite city pastime, whether zooming along on a speedboat, enjoying a fishing charter, or cruising the coastline by yacht. Beautiful homes of every size and style make up the bulk of this primarily residential area. By the beach, a leisurely stroll can be taken along the new landscaping wave wall design of the beachfront promenade. But this city is anything but sedate. Once a spring break hot spot, the town still has an energetic and colorful nightlife. Nearby, charming Lauderdale-By-the-Sea is home to one of the only living coral reefs in the US accessible from shore. Las Olas Boulevard, a shopper's paradise, is the chic new shopping and trendy dining area of downtown. If sports are more your inclination, dozens of golf courses and hundreds of public parks allow you to absorb the great Florida outdoors. Cultural arts are also popular. Water taxis bring theater-goers from throughout the city to the Performing Arts Center on the water.
