Do something different for a sunshine break in Florida avoiding the obvious and head to Ocean Drive in Miami Beach for cool party vibes and beach life. Enhance the tan on an all-inclusive Caribbean island hopping cruise. Then hop into a convertible hire car for a wonderful drive down through the Florida Keys to Key West to ramp up the beach and party vibes with Caribbean sunsets. This is a magical beach holiday which blends a city, beach and Caribbean cruise experience into a memorable upmarket travel adventure.
Rub shoulders with the tanned and toned in Miami South Beach in the heart of the Art-Deco neon lit area where the main beach drag is Ocean Drive lined with bars, restaurants and al-fresco diners. Perhaps have dinner in the Versace mansion, go shopping in one of the huge shopping malls of Miami or simply relax on the beach. We have scheduled your arrival for a Saturday to take advantage of the best night of the week when the nightlife really takes off.
Then its time to totally relax on a Caribbean island hopping cruise visiting four islands. Head to holiday central of the Dominican Republic to seek out powder white beaches and exciting snorkelling adventures from remote sand bars. Explore the rock pools, caves and grottos on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Isles. Visit some of the best beaches in the Caribbean on St Thomas and have a beach BBQ on NCL's Private island in the Bahamas.
The drive from Miami to Key West is quite simply magical. Once you hit the tip of southern Florida its a 100 mile drive across bridges and islands with turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye can see. You will pass through Key Largo, Tavernier, Islamorada, Marathon and Big Pine Key lined with beach resorts, marinas and interesting shops and tourist attractions. So pull the top down, splash on the suntan lotion, ramp up the radio and enjoy.
Key West can be best described as Cape Cod meets the Caribbean combining the best bits of both for its own unique blend of tropical relaxation & enjoyment. A visit to Key West will easily surpass those in other more popular parts of Florida in terms of nightlife, shopping, dining and natural sights such as Sunset Plaza and the bustling marina with its rustic wooden boardwalk and pier posts topped by pelicans waiting for a lazy fish! At the end of your stay fly home from Key West avoiding the drive back to Miami.

Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas
St Thomas is part of the US Virgin Islands and THE duty free shopper-s paradise in the Caribbean. Charlotte Amalie is the capital - and this quaint town is a joy to walk around with its cobbled streets and alley ways filled with the best shops in the Caribbean - but not so much -in your face- as the other islands. Unlike most of the other islands this is the US of A in the Caribbean - it is clean, organised and well run- you may think that you are in one of the Florida Keys. The best beach is Magens Bay (voted one of the top 10 beaches of the world) and is approximately 6 miles away from the capital on the other side of the island.
Tortola, British Virgin islands
This is the largest of the British Virgin Islands and as a result they drive on the left (as in the UK) - confusing the American tourists- Road Town is the capital and is nestled at bottom of a backdrop of mountains. There are 2 cruise terminals within walking distance to the shops. Just up an over the mountain on the other side of the island is the popular Cane Garden Beach - this is a lovely palm fringed sweep of white sand. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get there with some magnificent views of the island and the cost is -6 in a shared minibus - taxi. There is an opportunity to swim with the dolphins in the dolphin sanctuary just to the South of Road Town. Also another must here are the Baths at Virgin Gorda - the massive volcanic boulders which form secluded pools and grottos.
