There are dozens of islands making up what we now call the British Virgin Islands, but Tortola is one of the most popular for travelers and a great destination for water lovers. Snorkel the coral reefs at Smuggler’s Cove or surf at Apple Bay. On the eastern side of Tortola, you’ll discover dramatic views from Lambert Beach.
One of Tortola’s best-known attractions are the Virgin Gorda Baths, tranquil pools formed from volcanic eruptions. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters or tour the ancient grottos during your Eastern Caribbean cruise.
In Nassau, head to Atlantis, Paradise Island, an inclusive resort featuring a water park where all ages can play and swim. You can also meet rescued bottlenose dolphins at nearby Dolphin Cay, which is a sanctuary for sea lions and other marine life, too.
Go shopping at the famous Straw Market for hats and artisan goods crafted by locals vendors. Go swimming at Cable Beach, or venture less than an hour beyond the island to Rainbow Reef, one of the biggest coral reef structures in the Caribbean.
Our 10-night sailings departing from Tampa include a stop in the beautiful Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Explore Fortaleza San Felipe, a 16th-century Spanish fort, or take a day trip to the 27 Waterfalls, also called the “Damajaqua Cascades,” a cluster of waterfalls offering incredible hiking and swimming.
