Day 1

cape liberty, njc

Departure: 15:00

New York City is a global hub built on the foundation of immigrants and their offspring. It's home to eight million residents, and it welcomes over 50 million tourists annually. Your tour of New York City should include tasting the cuisine of hundreds of diverse cultures, and you can easily navigate the city on foot, by taxi, or through the renowned subway system. The Statue of Liberty, a gift from the French to the Americans, is a universal emblem of freedom and the city's most iconic landmark. Wall Street serves as the epicenter of major corporations, housing the New York Stock Exchange. The Empire State Building towers over the Big Apple as the city's second tallest structure, with the nearby Chrysler Building also commanding the skyline. Close by is the United Nations headquarters overlooking the East River and Grand Central Terminal, one of the world's busiest train stations. No sightseeing in New York is complete without a visit to Times Square. Absorb its billboards, its crowds, and its food, then head over to Central Park, which offers 850 acres of lakes and meadows, providing a respite from the city's hustle and bustle. You also have a plethora of art and history museums to choose from, as well as the Reflecting Absence Memorial and Museum, where you can honor the victims of 9/11. Although Manhattan is home to most of the city's landmarks, each borough has its own unique and distinctive character worth exploring. From Brooklyn's historic streets to Queens's international cuisine, there's something for everyone in the city. Above all, New York is a city for enjoyment and indulgence. So, have fun, and prepare to experience the Big Apple. New York City offers something for everyone: architecture, art, food, entertainment, shopping. It's all here.

Day 4

labadee, haiti

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 17:00

Labadee (French: Labadie) is a port situated on the northern shoreline of Haiti, within the district of Cap-Haïtien in the Nord department. This private resort is leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., exclusively for the passengers of its three cruise lines: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises, until 2050. Since 1986, Royal Caribbean has been the largest contributor to Haiti's tourist revenue, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their goods on the property for a fee, and paying the Haitian government US $12 per tourist. The resort is entirely geared towards tourists and is protected by a private security force. The area is fenced off from the surrounding region, and passengers are not permitted to leave the property. Food for tourists is supplied from the cruise ships. A regulated group of Haitian merchants are granted exclusive rights to sell their goods and set up their businesses in the resort. Despite sometimes being advertised as an island, it is actually a peninsula connected to the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship docks at the Labadee pier, which can accommodate the Oasis class ships and was completed in late 2009. The nearest commercial airport to Labadee is Cap-Haïtien International Airport. The attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-based playground, an alpine coaster, and the largest zip-line over water.
