Transatlantic Spring Voyage II

Ports

• Palm Beach
  

  The combination of urban centers and cultural treasures make Palm Beach the perfect getaway. Enter the heart of Africa by visiting the Panther Ridge Conservation Center or get up close and personal with manatees at the Manatee Lagoon. If you’re more into urban sightseeing, visit CityPlace for the top-rated dining, entertainment, and shopping experiences.

• At Sea
  

• Hamilton
  

  An airier version of the United Kingdom endowed with tropical flair, the Bermudan archipelago holds a surprising number of compelling attractions across its minuscule landmass. In the UNESCO World Heritage site town of St. George’s, wander cobblestone streets steeped in colonial history, perhaps pausing at the quaint 17th-century St. Peter’s Church, the oldest Anglican house of worship outside of England. Be sure to take a stroll along one of Bermuda’s renowned pink sand beaches, the result of crushed red shells mingling with sand to astonishing effect. More wonders await below ground at the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, which were carved out and shaped for millions of years, creating spectacular rock formations that surround azure underground lakes. For dramatic contrast, climb the soaring Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Bermuda’s tallest structure and one of the world’s oldest cast iron beacons, and take in 360-degree views of the entire archipelago. At the Royal Navy Dockyard, a stately collection of 19th-century maritime buildings, you might pick up a memento of alluring Bermuda from the enticing array of shops housed within.

• Lisbon
  

  Portugal's bustling capital showcases a rich contrast of the historical and modern. Situated near the Tagus River and endlessly sunny, Lisbon embodies a unique beauty and an internationally acclaimed architectural singularity. Its charming hilly neighborhoods boast winding, cobblestone streets and pastel-painted homes and cafés, which happily serve up the city’s signature cuisine, including pastel de nata and custard tarts. From imposing Sao Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the city’s Old Town, Tagus Estuary, and suspension bridge; the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles.
