FloridaKey West, Ft.Lauderdale, Tampa and Miami, Florida all have wonderful beaches and waterfront hotels to enjoy before or after your cruise. A stay in Orlando lets you take in Walt Disney World and the area's other attractions. The choice is yours.

As the world's largest marine adventure park, SeaWorld is devoted entirely to the mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles that live in the ocean and its tributaries.
The list of outdoor activities you can enjoy in Florida is almost endless. Visitors have access to public beaches and all are ideal for swimming, sunbathing and picnicking. Enjoy a day of fun in the sun and swimming in the Atlantic on one of Greater Fort Lauderdale's 23 miles of beaches.
Fort Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical weather attracts many people throughout the year. There are also many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities, access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of museums and restaurants, and an array of entertainment venues. Just a short distance from Ft. Lauderdale is the Everglades National Park, Florida’s “River of Grass.” You can enjoy airboat tours through this enormous and diverse ecosystem inhabited by alligators, herons, ibis, turtles, the Florida panther and countless other species.
