Departing Fort Lauderdale, spend two leisurely days at sea aboard Crystal Grace: highlights include elegant outdoor dining, expert golf coaching, and Broadway-standard entertainment. Now, the ABC islands come into view. First, we visit Oranjestad in Aruba, where there’s nature to embrace in Arikok National Park and candy-colored colonial architecture to see. Then it’s over to Willemstad in Curaçao to explore the kaleidoscopic world around its coral reefs, and Kralendijk in Bonaire, a good spot to learn more about these islands’ Dutch colonial past. Next is the nutmeg-scented St. George’s in Grenada, where you can stock up on spices, then Roseau, Dominica, to hike the lush green hills, and the colorful town of St. John’s in Antigua, an island that claims a beach for every day of the year. A final two days at sea gives you time to relax and soak in the panoramic ocean views, before we arrive back in buzzy Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
