The Tony Hotel South Beach

The award-winning The Hotel of South Beach is housed in a historic Art Déco building and is excellently situated between Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive. Lummus Park and the marvellous beach are just a few steps away; major attractions such as Lincoln Road Mall, New World Symphony or Jackie Gleason Theatre are within walking distance. In the surrounding area, countless splendid shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars and lively nightclubs can be found. The hotel was built in 1939, by master architect L. Murray Dixon, and it features a wonderful rooftop terrace with outdoor pool, panoramic ocean views and the Spire Bar & Lounge, set behind the historic Tiffany spire. The restaurant serves delicious Italian cuisine, and guests can work out in the fitness centre. For added convenience, there is complimentary wireless internet access available in the rooms, public areas and the meeting area. An elegant and stylish way to live the authentic South Beach experience.

Miami

Ocean Drive on Miami South Beach is the main beach drag in the heart of the neon-lit area lined with bars and restaurants where the tanned and toned rub shoulders with the diners, drinkers, sunbathers and swimmers. This is party central with everything contained in one area. Perhaps have dinner in the Versace mansion, go shopping in one of the huge shopping malls of Miami such as Port Aventura Mall and Biscayne Bay; or simply relax on the beach. 

MSC Divina

MSC Divina is designed to take the acclaimed Fantasia Class of ships to a new level with added inspiration from screen legend, Sophia Loren. Therefore, it’s no surprise to learn that MSC Divina simply oozes a rather special kind of glamour, a little extra something that will enhance your cruise experience no end. From her West End-sized theatre to the sweeping grace of her Swarovski crystal staircases and the exquisite illusion created by her Infinity Pool, MSC Divina possesses a stylish and sophisticated ambiance that few ships can match.

The dining onboard MSC Divina comes in the form of several restaurants. There are two main restaurants Villa Rosa and the Black Crab, two buffet restaurants Manitou and Calumet, Butchers Cut Steak House, a cafeteria and a pizzeria. Plus, the panoramic Kaito Galaxy restaurant serving Asian cuisine converts to the nightclub after dinner service. MSC Yacht Club guest will dine in their own exclusive restaurants- Le Muse.

Like her sisters Eco ship MSC Divina is a thoroughly modern yet decidedly stylish lady. She may bristle with features and facilities like squash courts, a 4D cinema and an F1 simulator but there is nothing ‘gimmicky’ about the on-board experience on offer. Those looking to cool off will appreciate MSC Divina’s spectacular main pool complex (there are four pools onboard in total) where 150 fountains and water jets provide fun and a great antidote to the sunshine!

Enjoy an uninterrupted day of relaxation at sea taking advantage of the facilities, entertainment and dining options on board.

Cozumel

Cozumel is an island just 12 miles long and situated 20 minutes ferry ride from the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Cozumel is really a staging post for cruise passengers to visit mainland Mexico with its Mayan ruins at Tulum. Cozumel town is lively with its many bars and myriad of shops. Explore the Xel Ha aquatic park with its subterranean rivers, natural pools and sacred Mayan Lagoon. We found the scuba diving here to be the best in Caribbean. The best beach is located in the Punta Sur Ecological Park.

Grand Cayman (Cayman Islands)

This island remains part of the British Commonwealth and it is famed for its Scuba diving and white sandy beaches - in particular 7 Mile Beach close to Georgetown the capital. It is also one of the few nesting grounds of the loggerhead turtle. One of the best things to do is snorkelling with the Sting Rays – you will not be disappointed. Try visiting Hell - a village in the far corner of the island where you will find a turtle farm. Ships generally anchor off shore here and the island is reached by tender.

Ocho Rios (Jamaica)

There are some top attractions on Jamaica – the biggest one being Dunns River Falls ( close to Ocho Rios) made famous by the James Bond film Dr No. Gentle bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae river made famous by Errol Flynn is exceedingly tranquil and worth doing. Another great trip is horse riding through the sugar cane plantations, on to the beach then swimming on your horse in the sea - absolutely marvellous. Perhaps visit the Blue Mountains and the coffee plantations for a unique souvenir or gift.

Curaçao

The volcanic island of Curaçao is sandwiched in between Bonaire and Aruba and is lies in the far South of the Caribbean just 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela. The capital Willemstad is a cosy Dutch haven with its neat row houses which are 17th and 18th century Dutch colonial buildings. Visit the Hato Caves formed from coral reefs, the freshwater waterfall and Shete Boka National Park with its limestone tidal cavern. The Ostrich Farm is the largest outside of Africa where you can feed the birds and watch the Ostrich dance. Best souvenir buys are Delft pottery and of course the Sapphire Blue Liqueur – Curacao.

Oranjestad (Aruba)

Aruba is situated just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela at the Southern end of the Caribbean. This island is just 5 Miles wide by 19 Miles long so getting around does not take long and is relatively in-expensive. The north side of the island has an exposed rocky coast while the south coast has the soft white sand beaches, great shopping, stunning sea and desert landscape views. All of this can be experienced from the capital Oranjestad with its heavy Dutch influences. The closet beaches to the capital are Surfside Beach and Druif Beach both with soft white sand. Aruba is a mecca for American tourist and beach holidays. Ships moor at the quayside and it is a short walk into town.
