The Ship The 2nd Largest Cruise Ship afloat... "Voyager of the Seas"  features exclusive venues not found on any other cruise line ships in the world, including an Ice Skating Rink and the Royal Promenade (a mall like area with shops, eateries & lounges), click for more details.

 

Roatan, Honduras This truly unspoiled island is surrounded by the world's second-largest coral reef, which houses hundreds of varieties of beautiful sea life.  So it's easy to see why Roatan's waters are considered some of the best in the world for snorkeling and scuba diving. On land, the friendly, laid-back atmosphere is exactly how you'd envision it to be on an island paradise - it's perfect. There are fine restaurants, bars and attractions, such as Butterfly Park, Marble Hill Farms, the Iguana Farm and Carambola Gardens. But best of all, make sure to spend time exploring some of the most pure and untouched beaches in the Caribbean. It's all there for you to enjoy - at your own leisurely pace, of course.

 

Belize City, Belize With miles of lush tropical rain forest, a gorgeous Caribbean coastline and the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, it doesn't take long to realize why Belize City is known as "The Jewel." Located between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize possesses a unique combination of modernity and rustic Caribbean charm.  Ancient ruins indicate that Belize was first inhabited by the Mayans in 900 A.D.  This Indian heritage, combined with a rich European history, creates a destination full of charm and wonder for all to discover.

 

Cozumel, Mexico The Conquistadors first saw Mexico from the shores of Cozumel while searching for gold. Today, visitors to the island continue to seek out gold and silver jewelry in the shops of San Miguel while having a great time in its many local bars and restaurants.  Plus, the waters around Cozumel's sheltered coral reefs make this one of the best snorkeling areas in the world.
