Head to the Seaport District for fresh seafood, local specialties include cod, steamed lobster, oysters on the half-shell and creamy chowders. Then venture to the birthplace of America’s original craft beer, the Samuel Adams Brewery, to find out how the ales and lagers are made, perhaps sample a few, and learn about this great patriot. There’s such an amazing cross-section of rich history, music, art, literature and theater to explore on a cruise to Boston.
Travel Tips
1
Boston’s subway system is referred to as the “T” and has an extensive route system that consists of an underground metro and buses that operate along cables. The routes operated by the T go all over the city center into Cambridge and other suburbs of Boston. A water shuttle or water taxi can easily take you from the cruise terminal to Boston’s points of interest along the harbor, such as Faneuil Marketplace, Bunker Hill, the USS Constitution, or the North End. Taxi stands are located throughout the city, although you may have to wait for a bit depending on the time of day and location. Rideshare services are also readily available.2
Boston has no shortage of places to shop, whether you’re looking for crafts, kitschy souvenirs, or national chains. For all three, visit Faneuil Hall Marketplace, home to Quincy Market and plenty of shops. For department stores and traditional malls, Boston’s Back Bay is the place to go, with indoor malls found at Prudential Center and the Copley Place Mall.3
The currency used in Boston is the U.S. Dollar, and you’ll be able to find ATMs dispensing cash all over Boston. Tipping is very common, especially in restaurants, bars, and taxis. A common tip for restaurants, taxis, and most other services is 15% to 20% of the total amount.3 Days at Sea

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Puerto Plata was inhabited by the Taino people for centuries before Christopher Columbus arrived and founded the city in the early 1500s. By the 20th century, Puerto Plata had emerged as the Dominican Republic’s main tourism hub. You can paddle through a manatee reserve or zipline over treetops. Go for a swim at the awe-inspiring 27 Waterfalls complex. Hike through the lush, protected jungle of El Choco National Park, enjoying the park’s two lagoons. Swim with dolphins at World Ocean, the largest manmade dolphin habitat in the world, or grab a kayak and head out on the water at Manatee Reserve. Nature, adventure, history – Puerto Plata has it all.
Travel Tips
1
There are numerous ways to get around Puerto Plata. Taxis are plentiful, and some drivers may offer you their services for the whole day, in which case, negotiate a price in advance. Puerto Plata also has Uber. Local minivan buses are called guaguas and will stop when you flag them down and drop you where you say you want to disembark. You’ll need cash for these. Slightly more comfortable but operating on the same basis are carritos, or shared sedan cars, as opposed to vans. Car rental is also available, but be prepared to negotiate busy roads crammed with motorbikes, as you would anywhere in the Dominican Republic.2
The Dominican Republic is a great place to shop for hand-rolled cigars, rum, Haitian art, mahogany wood carvings, and jewelry made from amber, which is widely found here, or larimar, an opaque blue stone found only in the Dominican Republic. Shops in malls will display prices, which are usually fixed, but if you’re shopping in markets, a little polite haggling is appropriate. You’ll find plenty of shops within Taino Bay, but there’s a wider selection downtown.3
The Dominican peso is the currency of the Dominican Republic. It’s wise to have some cash to buy local goods from smaller shops and to pay taxi drivers and bus fares. Credit cards are also accepted in many places. Leaving a 10% tip is customary at restaurants, bars, and cafés for good service.Samana, Dominican Republic
Tucked along the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, Samaná is a lush peninsula where mountains meet the sea. Known for its dramatic coastline, swaying coconut palms, and pristine beaches, this hidden gem offers a quieter, more laid-back side of Caribbean island life.
From January through March, Samaná Bay becomes one of the best spots in the world to witness humpback whales, who migrate here each winter to breed and give birth. Beyond whale watching, guests can explore Los Haitises National Park by boat, wander through mangrove forests, or relax on the powdery white sands of Playa Rincón, consistently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Adventure seekers can zip-line through the rainforest canopy or hike to El Limón waterfall, while those looking to unwind can sample fresh coconut water straight from the source or stroll the charming malecón in Santa Bárbara de Samaná town.
With its blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and authentic local culture, Samaná offers something for every type of traveler.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: Charlotte Amalie is the enchanting capital of St. Thomas that has attracted pirates and sailors the world over for centuries. The island enjoys a fascinating fusion of Danish, French, Spaniard, West African and Carib influences. There’s so much to discover on a cruise to St. Thomas. For a nice overview of the island’s history head to Fort Christian Museum. Built as a military fort by the Dutch in 1680, this historic landmark features exhibits chronicling the history of the Virgin Islands from the Stone Age to the present, as well as natural history collections, and an art gallery. Experience the beauty of St. Thomas beaches with a wonderful picnic on Magens Bay beach or snorkel in the turquoise Caribbean Sea where you’ll come up close to corals, sponges, and schools of colorful tropical fish. Authentic island dishes like savory curries with roti, the freshest seafood, and delicious drinks made with the finest local rums are readily available on restaurant menus. And, while the beaches and ocean are beautiful, there is one thing that really sets St. Thomas apart - shopping. This island is the most commercial of all the U.S. Virgin Islands. Browse through the shop-lined streets of the capital city and shop for duty-free trinkets and bargains on everything from liquor to imported china and crystal.
Travel Tips
1
One of the easiest ways to get around in port while on a cruise to St. Thomas, if you don’t want to rent your own car, is by taxi, although local taxis are not what you might expect. They’re small, open-air shuttle vehicles called safari trucks equipped with a few rows of seats. Flag one down heading in the direction you want to go and tell the driver where you want to be dropped off. You may make extra stops before yours, depending on the other passengers’ desired routes. You’ll pay a set price per person that is usually quite reasonable. To explore the island under your own steam, rent a car from the outlets at the cruise pier—but remember that driving is on the left.2
St. Thomas is known for its extensive duty-free shopping, and downtown Charlotte Amalie is where you’ll find bargains galore, from perfume to jewelry and electronics. Shops stocking everything imaginable line Main Street, while there’s a small market nearby with vendor stands selling jewelry, clothing, crafts, and other Caribbean-inspired artifacts. The Havensight Mall is right by the Havensight cruise terminal, while the Crown Bay Center serves the Crown Bay pier. For the most upscale shopping, head for Yacht Haven Grande, where you’ll find brands like Gucci, Bulgari, and Coach.3
The U.S. dollar is the official currency in St. Thomas and the rest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tipping is customary when dining out or ordering drinks at a bar. Tipping customs in St. Thomas and the other USVI are similar to those in the U.S., with 15% to 20% of the total bill being the normal amount to tip.St. Johns, Antigua
Cruise to Antigua, named by Christopher Columbus in 1493, and discover 365 Caribbean beaches—one for every day, every type of beach—hidden among the countless cliffs and bays. The lush rainforest, dramatic landscapes, and turquoise waters tempt eco-adventurers from swimmers to hikers to zip-line flyers
Swim and snorkel with gentle stingrays—even feed and pet them—and snorkel the coral reefs that ring the island and teem with life. Take a scenic catamaran sail. Stop at Paradise Reef and peer below the surface of the clear Antiguan waters. Lie on a golden beach and sip a rum punch or enjoy some lobster on your St. John’s cruise.
Antigua and neighboring Barbuda form an independent country in the British Commonwealth. The English settled here in 1632 and imported slaves to build sugar plantations. They became independent in 1981. The capital and largest city, St. John's, is one of the more developed and cosmopolitan municipalities in the Lesser Antilles.
Antigua’s hotels and resorts serve excellent European cuisine, featuring the fresh catch of the day. Go native and try the local fungi (like polenta, paired with salt fish), callaloo (a popular West African / Caribbean dish), and hearty pepper pot.
When it's time to go shopping, find Caribbean fashions, local crafts, and designer fashions in the duty-free shops of St. John’s. Browse luxurious Heritage Quay or quaint seaside Redcliffe Quay.

Travel Tips

St. John’s is easy to explore on foot, and you will most likely be docked right by the downtown area. Taxis are also available in town and will wait to pick up passengers at a taxi rank outside the cruise port. Drivers often offer to act as a tour guide for the day, but be sure to settle on a fare before you set off if you choose this option. Car rental is widely available, though you’ll need to buy a local permit. Be aware that driving is on the left in Antigua. Buses run all over the island, stopping when they are flagged down. There are two bus stations in St. John’s. Allow about 45 minutes if you want to get to English Harbour by bus.2
Heritage Quay is an impressive shopping complex with duty-free shops selling jewelry, liquor, fragrance, and electronics as well as high-end fashion, purses, and beachwear. Local items to look out for include pottery, linen, batik prints, Caribbean art, rum, and spicy sauces. For a taste of authentic Antigua, head to St John’s Public Market to get a feel for the fruits and vegetables growing on the island; you could even pick up a sweet and juicy black pineapple for a snack.3
The official currency in Antigua is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$), although the U.S. dollar is accepted in a variety of places as well. The East Caribbean dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of EC$2.7 to US$1. Keep a few EC$ handy if you’re shopping in markets or from street food stalls; if you pay in U.S. dollars, you will probably be given change in local currency. Some restaurants will include a 10% service charge already, but if they don’t, you should tip 10-15% for good service. Taxi drivers should also receive a tip of around 10-15% of your fare. Tipping your tour guide is also customary in Antigua.Tortola, BVI
Besides being one of the most scenic islands in the Caribbean, Tortola also has a fascinating cultural and historical side. For a glimpse into the island’s colonial past, visit the Virgin Islands Folk Museum. The restored house was once the family home of shipwright, Joseph Wilfred Penn and features a deep collection of Arawak and Carib pottery and stone tools, as well as plantation artifacts. Hike along the seven available walking trails in Sage Mountain National Park for stunning panoramic views of the island and the surrounding natural habitat. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea and a rum tasting at Callwood Rum Distillery are essential on a cruise to Tortola. Sample the delicious curries, spicy soups, and sumptuous shellfish dishes available in abundance at local restaurants and many snack shacks around the island.
Travel Tips
1
The best way to get around Tortola independently is by taxi. Rates are fixed, and many of the local drivers double up as guides. If you ask a driver to drop you at a beach, remember to agree on a pick-up time. In Road Town itself, you can walk, and there are ferries to the other islands. Car rental is another option, but bear in mind that driving is on the left here, a legacy of the British, and there are numerous local hazards, among them potholes, goats, and basking lizards. The island is steep and hilly, so if you’re renting a bike, opt for an e-bike.2
Top souvenirs to get during your British Virgin Islands cruise include gems and metal bracelets pounded out right in front of you by local jewelers. To bring the flavors of the Caribbean home with you, local rum and spices are also popular. You can also find local art and pottery in the shops of Road Town, and jewelry, cigars, and clothing from the stalls at Tortola Pier Park.3
Though the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory, don’t expect to use the British Pound while there. The official currency of the islands is actually the U.S. Dollar. Tipping here is part of the culture, an influence of the many visitors from the U.S, and is similar to what you’ll encounter back home. From 10% to 20% is normal in restaurants, while bartenders and taxi drivers, especially driver-guides, should also be tipped.San Juan, Puerto Rico
