Nieuw Statendam

A short boat ride to Rose Island to meet the famous swimming pigs, followed by a Bahamian lunch, beach loungers, snorkeling and paddleboarding at a private beach club.

A quick, easy loop of Nassau's landmarks: the Queen's Staircase, Fort Fincastle, the rum cake factory and a stop at Atlantis on Paradise Island, all well within your time in port.

Stroll downtown Nassau sampling conch, local dishes and Bahamian rum at hand-picked spots, with stories about the island's history between bites. Easy walking distance from the ship.

A small-group trip from Amber Cove or Taino Bay to climb, jump and slide down the natural waterfalls of Damajagua, a favorite with Carnival cruisers.

See the best of Puerto Plata, from its Victorian downtown to the old fortress, then relax at a resort beach before heading back to the ship.

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

Snorkel the crystal-clear water off Grand Turk, including the edge of the famous wall where the reef drops into the deep blue.

A guided ATV ride past the lighthouse, salt ponds and quiet back roads of this small island, in about 90 minutes.

The easiest way to explore Grand Turk on your own: pick up a golf cart near the cruise center and drive to beaches, Cockburn Town and the lighthouse.

A small-group trip into the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system to hike, swim in river pools and ride a natural rock waterslide.

Glide along San Juan's coast with an underwater jet scooter, looking for sea turtles on the reef. Videos of your swim are included, and it takes about 90 minutes.

See the colorful streets, forts and city walls of Old San Juan by golf cart, covering more ground than on foot, just steps from the cruise pier.

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.
