Curaçao is a vibrant island in the southern Caribbean, just off the coast of Venezuela, and part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Known for its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, especially in the capital Willemstad (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the island blends European charm with Caribbean warmth. Curaçao boasts stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters, making it a paradise for snorkeling and diving, particularly around its thriving coral reefs. Beyond its natural beauty, the island is culturally diverse, shaped by African, European, and Latin American influences, reflected in its music, cuisine, and the local language, Papiamentu. Unlike many Caribbean destinations, Curaçao lies outside the hurricane belt, offering year-round sunny weather. Visitors also enjoy exploring its desert landscapes, historic forts, and lively street art. With its unique mix of history, culture, and nature, Curaçao offers a distinctive Caribbean experience that is both laid-back and cosmopolitan.

Offering solace on the long journey across the Atlantic, Ponta Delgada is the Azores Islands' largest city, and a welcome relief for any weary sailor. Located on an archipelago of Portuguese islands, some 1,100 miles from the mainland, you can explore humbling volcanic scenery, as well as Sao Miguel's verdant landscape - which glows with colour when the hydrangeas that the Azores are known for bloom into life during the summer months. The striking black and white facade of the Church of Sao Jose welcomes you to the city itself, while you can head to the markets to pick up the pineapples, tea leaves and coffee beans that add a little flavour to the island. As the largest city of the Azores, Ponta Delgada is well stocked with places to eat delicious local seafood, or pick up a little shopping, as you enjoy setting your feet on dry land, following a long journey at sea. Volcanic firepower has carved these stunning islands, and a journey up to Caldeira das Sete Cidades is a must do, where you can hike beside the water-filled crater, and admire views of steep green walls, and the uninterrupted Atlantic Ocean stretching beyond them. Lagoa de Fogo offers yet more humbling views, with the crater lake dropping off sharply to rippled ocean far below.

Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port. It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux. The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
