New York
Being the largest city in the United States, the city that never sleeps will leave you with endless journeys. Take a peaceful bike ride past the wonders of Central Park, see a world class production on the bustling street of Broadway, or find yourself looking at stunning Manhattan views from the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

Hamilton
Hamilton, the captivating capital of Bermuda, weaves a tapestry of history that reflects its colonial past and cultural fusion. Founded in the early 19th century, the town grew around the bustling harbor, which played a pivotal role in Bermuda`s maritime heritage. Colonial-style buildings stand as living echoes of its British influence, while Fort Hamilton stands sentinel over the town`s history. As you wander its streets, a blend of British and Caribbean cultures is palpable, from charming boutiques to traditional pub, serving pints and rum punches with equal ease. Immerse yourself in Bermuda`s unique blend of British and Caribbean cultures, savoring culinary delights and embracing the island`s laid-back spirit. Hamilton captures the essence of island life, inviting you to unwind, explore, and discover the enchanting island of Bermuda.

San Juan
Rich in history, La Fortaleza is the oldest governor’s mansion in the western hemisphere; be sure to see the mahogany clock which stopped in time when the last Spanish governor of Puerto Rico struck it with his sword on his way out, heralding the last moment of Spanish rule in the New World.

Bridgetown
Barbados is sun-drenched beaches, clear blue-green waters and cool trade winds. Its capital is a UNESCO treasure and inland you’ll see lovingly preserved plantation houses, lush sugar cane fields and fragrant gardens. Reminders of former British rule abound, from cricket fields to Lord Nelson`s statue and the original Trafalgar Square. Don`t miss Bridgetown`s bustling Careenage and the shops on Broad Street, which offer deals on luxury imports from Britain.
