Session Topics

Port Information (Ports are subject to change)

The Caribbean is a region of The Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.  So, let's set sail and in beautiful locations like the ones below... 

Nassau, Bahamas

Bustling markets and placid beaches are like the yin and yang of this capital of The Bahamas. The Nassau Straw Market, three blocks from the port, presents a riot of vendors, shoppers, and pirates, while the broad white beaches, minutes from town, feature sun-kissed sands, turquoise waters, and coral reefs. Browse the duty-free shops and Nassau Straw Market downtown. On vibrant Bay Street, find duty-free deals and colorful architecture. Nassau’s culinary bounty emerges from the ocean—dishes like fried snapper served with grits and grouper drizzled with butter. Try conch, the marine mollusk of the iconic shell.

Labadee, Haiti

*Potential Port Change*

The pristine port of Labadee is a Royal Caribbean, Ltd. private resort on the northern shores of Haiti. Surrounded by dense forest, this secluded paradise is filled with exclusive activities including rollercoasters like the Dragon’s Tail Alpine Coaster, the 2,600-foot-long Dragon’s Breath, the world’s longest over water zip line, the High Speed Coastal Adventure, exhilarating speedboat tour of the peninsula, and much more. The stunning white sandy beaches with crystal blue waters are perfect for relaxing in the sun, swimming, or leisurely walks along the shore. Finish the perfect day with a refreshing cocktail and sumptuous seafood fare. 


George Town, Grand Cayman

No destination blends global finance with the Caribbean lifestyle quite like the Cayman Islands. This upscale destination offers world-class restaurants, designer boutiques, and duty-free shopping, plus white sand beaches, brilliant blue waters, and teeming coral reefs. Enjoy postcard views of George Town, Seven Mile Beach, and West Bay from the custom-designed Cayman Explorer. Launch your snorkeling adventure from a luxurious catamaran. You'll shop till you drop in the duty-free boutiques of George Town. Try Cayman conch in salads, chowders, and fritters.
