Nassau, Bahamas
For a city now known for its warming sun and balmy breezes, Nassau has a tumultuous past. First settled by the English, the area was contested by England, France and Spain. For many years, Nassau was a home base for notorious pirates, and it was burned to the ground by the Spanish three different times. Since 1740, however, visitors from all over the world in search of both relaxation and adventure have made Nassau their favorite destination.
Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas
St. Thomas is known as an idyllic vacation spot today, but its history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie. This world-renowned Caribbean island is home to amazing beaches, gorgeous sea and landscapes and unbelievable duty-free shopping.
Phillipsburg, St. Maarten |
|

|
|
When the Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648, a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is today. Philipsburg displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping. The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes and great shopping.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical weather attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers, the city has six miles of beaches. There are also many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities, access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating museums and trendy restaurants, and an array of entertainment venues

'Oasis of the Seas' ...
As the worlds largest luxury ship, Oasis of the Seas is really the main destination to experience throughout this 7 day cruise. In fact, some that have already visited the islands of the Caribbean, tell us that the ship itself is what they enjoyed the most because of its incredible size and the endless things to see and do while exploring the Oasis! It is really a floating Port-O-Call.
Experience the most innovative and imaginative ship yet, Oasis of the SeasSM. This new class of naval-engineering genius features the first-ever neighborhood concept where everyone can find their unique experiences in one of the seven distinct onboard districts, including: Central Park - a public space combining nature and nautical; Boardwalk - dedicated to family, fun and featuring the new and entertaining AquaTheater; and the Royal Promenade - the heart of many Royal Caribbean ships, that's now bigger and better than ever. Be sure to bring along lots of film!
Coming in 2011, Oasis of the Seas will set sail with the DreamWorks Experience adding another level of unbelievable adventure to our already incredible collection of experiences.
