Nassau, The Bahamas ~ It’s easy to see why Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is also one of the most popular ports in the Caribbean: picture an idyllic place with stretches of perfect white-sand beaches, gracefully swaying coconut palms offering oases of shade, and warm, crystal-clear waters revealing the secrets of incredible multi-colored marine life. Whether you spend the day shopping for duty-free gifts and mementos, taking a carriage ride past sorbet-colored buildings, or touring in a glass-bottom boat, chances are you’ll leave this happy place in the Bahamas with lots of beautiful memories.
St. Maarten, NA ~ Where else can you experience the food, style and hospitality of two separate countries in an exotic West Indian setting? St. Maarten is divided between French St. Martin in the north and Dutch St. Maarten in the south. Both sides of this 37-square-mile island offer beautiful ocean vistas, gourmet cuisines, first-rate water sports and beaches, and some of the best duty-free shopping in the world.
St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands ~ Pirates once roamed the alleys of this beautiful island, which is today besieged by a treasure trove of shopping options. But there’s more to this shopper’s Shangri-La than an international grab-bag of perfume and electronics. This U.S. Virgin Island also claims not only one of the world’s most beautiful beaches — the heart-shaped Magens Bay — but a world-renowned golf course and simply spectacular nightlife. You can don a snorkel to explore coral reefs bright as a wildflower meadow, or take in the amazing views on a soaring aerial tram ride to Paradise Point. You’d be surprised at just how much of the above fits into just 32 square miles!
