Dominican Daze
An unrivaled Caribbean sail from Miami to the snow-white shores of the Dominican Republic, by way of our day and night (9 am to 10 pm) spent at our very own private club (The Beach Club) in Bimini, Bahamas — complete with a bonfire party under the stars. Arriving at 9 a.m. in Puerto Plata and leaving at 6 p.m., you'll have plenty of time to lay by the beach and explore the city streets.

With a name derived from the Latin, "valere" (which means to be strong) our second lady ship calls Barcelona her home - setting sail through the Mediterranean in the summers and spending her winters down in the Caribbean.
