Ports of call: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Princess Cays, Bahamas; Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Fly from Ireland to Florida and stay one night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding Sun Princess for a seven-day cruise of the Eastern Caribbean, calling at Princess Cays in the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos, before returning to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Beyond its coastal charm, Fort Lauderdale offers world-class entertainment, shopping, and cultural attractions. Then, sail to Princess Cays, a private paradise on Eleuthera Island, or explore the vibrant rhythms of San Juan, a captivating Caribbean port steeped in history and culture.

Discover Grand Turk's old-world Caribbean charm or bask in the natural beauty of Amber Cove, offering a variety of land and sea adventures. Finally, return to Florida or extend your journey with a post-cruise stay, perhaps exploring the thrills of nearby theme parks.

According to the popular 1960 beach movie, Fort Lauderdale is "where the boys are." The city's reputation as America's Spring Break capital, however, has been replaced with the more favourable image of a prime family tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. The most popular beach resort in Florida is even more rightly famed as the "Yachting Capital of the World," with more than 40,000 registered crafts calling its waters home. The city also prides itself on being the "Venice of America" with more than 300 miles of navigable waterways. Fort Lauderdale boasts world-class theatres, museums, sightseeing, and shopping.

Join us at our exclusive port of call, Princess Cays, where you'll enjoy a private beach party on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. One hundred miles long and only two miles wide, Eleuthera offers unspoiled beaches. Our private resort at Princess Cays is situated on more than 40 acres and features over a half-mile of white-sand shoreline, all at the southern tip of the island. 

The oldest city under the American flag, San Juan vibrates to a lively salsa beat. There's an unmistakable zest in the air here. Perhaps it's the stunning natural setting: the verdant peaks, tropical forests, and gleaming white-sand beaches. Or maybe it's Puerto Rico's mix of cultures, the blend and occasional clash of four centuries of Spanish heritage overlaid with a century spent as America's only Commonwealth. Whatever the reason, San Juan is one of the most enticing ports in the Caribbean, and it only gets lovelier with age.

Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, is a small island bursting with turn-of-the-century Caribbean charm, retaining the look and feel of the Caribbean 40 years ago. Grand Turk was founded by Bermudan salt rakers some three centuries ago and its Bermudan-British-colonial architecture surrounded by colourful local dwellings makes the island a treasure to visit.

Tucked on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Amber Cove, named for the translucent gemstone found on its shores, sits just seven miles from the town Puerto Plata, a cinematic locale used as the backdrop for the first Jurassic Park film. Just steps from the dock take in the sparkling beach, which offers a plethora of water activities, and the serene, natural beauty from the comfort of a private bungalow. Or venture off the property to take to the high seas on a luxury catamaran snorkelling expedition or explore the 450-year-old San Felipe Fortress. For high-flying adventure, swing through the trees on a zip line or ride a cable car 2,500 feet to the top of Mount Isabel de Torres for a look at its massive statue of Christ the Redeemer. 

Cruise back to Florida, where you'll catch your homeward flight. Or, extend your holiday with a post-cruise stay in the USA. Book your Theme Park tickets with us before you fly. Ask your travel agent for more information on accommodation and experiences.

We can't wait to welcome our next-generation cruise ships! Sun Princess® is the first ship in our fleet to be powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). This cleaner burning fuel will significantly reduce air emissions and marine gasoil to minimize our environmental footprint. She is the third ship to be honored with the Sun Princess® name, adding to the legacy of the first ship sailing from 1974 to 1988 and the second ship sailing from 1995 to 2020. At that time, she had the largest number of balcony cabins and our first 24-hour cafe.

What were we thinking of when we designed the new Sun Princess? You.

We pondered everything, so you can feel the love on the cruise vacation of your dreams. Because here, the sun revolves around you.
