Departure: 15:00

New York City is an international metropolis built on the shoulders of immigrants and their descendants. New York City is home to eight million people, and the city welcomes more than 50 million visitors each year. Your tour of New York City should include sampling the food from hundreds of different cultures, and you can explore it easily on foot, by taxi, or via the famous subway system. A gift from the French people to the American people, the Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom and the city’s most famous landmark. Wall Street acts as the heart of big business being the home of the New York Stock Exchange. The Empire State Building towers over the Big Apple as the second-tallest building in the city, with the nearby Chrysler Building also dominating the skyline. Nearby is the headquarters of the United Nations overlooking the East River and Grand Central Terminal, one of the busiest train stations in the world. No sightseeing in New York is complete without a visit to Times Square. Take in its billboards, its many people, and its food, then cross over to Central Park, which comprises 850 acres of lakes and meadows, where you can escape from the city buzz. You also have your choice of art and history museums, as well as the Reflecting Absence Memorial and Museum, where you can pay your respects to the victims of 9/11. Even though Manhattan houses most of the city’s landmarks, each of the districts of the city has its unique and distinctive personality worth exploring. From the historic streets of Brooklyn to the international cuisine of Queens, there is something for every type of person in the city. Above all, New York is a city to have fun and indulge oneself. So, enjoy yourself, and get ready to take a bite out of the Big Apple. New York City has everything for everyone: architecture, art, cuisine, entertainment, shopping. It's all here.

Day 4

labadee, haiti

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 17:00

Labadee (French: Labadie) is a port situated on the northern coast of Haiti within the arrondissement of Cap-Haïtien in the Nord department. It's a private resort leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., for the exclusive use of passengers of its three cruise lines: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises, until 2050. Royal Caribbean has been the biggest contributor to Haiti's tourist revenue since 1986, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their goods on the premises for a fee and paying the Haitian government US $ 12 per tourist. The resort is entirely tourist-focused, and is guarded by a private security force. The site is fenced off from the surrounding area, and passengers are not permitted to leave the property. Food available to tourists is brought from the cruise ships. A controlled group of Haitian merchants are given exclusive rights to sell their merchandise and establish their businesses in the resort. Although sometimes described as an island in advertisements, it is actually a peninsula contiguous with the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship docks at the pier at Labadee capable of servicing the Oasis class ships, which was completed in late 2009. The commercial airport that is closest to Labadee is Cap-Haïtien International Airport. Attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-based playground, an alpine coaster, and the largest zip-line over water.
