MSC Meraviglia

A fast boat ride around the island to snorkel with turtles and tropical fish, then beach time and lunch on a small island off the coast. One of the most-booked tours in St. Maarten.

Drive your own off-roader over the hills and coast roads, ending at Maho Beach, where jets land just over your head. Built around cruise ship times.

A private guide shows you both the Dutch and French sides of the island: Philipsburg, Marigot, Orient Bay and the best lookouts, at your own pace.

Circle all of Antigua by speedboat, stopping to snorkel, swim at Stingray City and see Devil's Bridge and the island's quiet bays from the water.

A guided drive to the island's highlights, including Nelson's Dockyard, the view from Shirley Heights and some of Antigua's famous beaches.

Zip around Antigua in an open-air tuk-tuk, through the rainforest and on to a couple of beaches, for a fun, laid-back half day.

Sail on a comfortable catamaran to swim with sea turtles in calm, clear water, then relax at a white-sand beach before heading back to the ship.

A three-hour walk through historic Charlotte Amalie tasting West Indian dishes and local rum, with the story of the island's Danish colonial past along the way.

Ride a guided off-road route through the hills of St. Thomas for big views over the harbor and neighboring islands. About two hours, so it fits an easy port day.

Hike through the jungle to climb, jump and slide down natural waterfalls, then refuel with a Dominican lunch.

Drive a dune buggy along muddy country trails and through local villages for a three-hour off-road ride from the cruise port.

Discover the Victorian town center, the San Felipe fortress, and local rum, cigars and chocolate on a relaxed half-day tour of Puerto Plata.
