Welcome to San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico! Founded in 1521, San Juan’s picturesque cobblestone streets, plazas and chapels reflect its Spanish heritage.

Day 7 | January 28, 2025 – St Thomas, US Virgin Islands (B, L, D)
Although founded by the French in 1627, St. Kitts is a very British paradise where cricket and tea are the norm. The dramatic mixed island landscape is rimmed in gold-sand beaches and dotted with well preserved plantations left from when the island was covered with sugar cane.
Day 8 | January 29, 2025 – Philipsburg, St. Maarten (B, L, D)
With an area of only 37 square miles, the island of St. Maarten is the smallest landmass in the world to be divided between two governments. The southern Dutch half offers casinos, duty-free shopping, and island culture. The French half is all subdued sophistication.
