Day 1

miami, florida

Departure: 15:30

Miami Beach is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. Take an Art Deco tour of Miami Beach to fully appreciate the area's signature architecture. The South Beach Art Deco District is a whimsical collection of more than 800 architecturally protected buildings in Miami Beach from the 1930s and 1940s – a definite must-see. Stay in one of its boutique or throwback hotels – you'll also find some of Miami Beach's finest dining, nightlife and spas here. North Beach's Ocean Terrace is fast becoming a smaller version of South Beach, with inviting oceanfront hotels and cafés. Regardless, be sure to go for a beachside stroll or to Haulover Park for fishing, bike rides, tennis or golf. And, of course, Miami Beach’s nightlife always concludes an unforgettable vacation day.

Day 5

st. croix, u.s.v.i.

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Saint Croix is an island in the Caribbean Sea, and a county and constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands. St. Croix is the largest of the islands in the territory, though the territorial capital, Charlotte Amalie, is located on Saint Thomas. St. Croix’s nickname is “Twin City,” referring to its two towns at opposite ends of the island: Frederiksted on the west end and Christiansted on the east. Frederiksted has a more relaxed pace than most of the island and becomes livelier during Carnival in January and when visiting cruise ships are in port. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve contains the only known site where members of a Columbus expedition set foot on what is now United States territory. The park also protects prehistoric and colonial-era archaeological sites, including the only known existing example of a ball court in the Caribbean. Buck Island Reef National Monument protects a 71-hectare island just north of St. Croix. It is a popular destination for snorkeling.
