Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1: Montego Bay- Rose Hall, Jamaica
Welcome to Jamaica! Today when you arrive at Douglas Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, you will be met by a local Caribbean-Cruiser Representative and privately transferred to Iberostar Rose Hall Beach.

Shining over Montego Bay, this architectural masterpiece features a main lobby that overlooks the ocean and has breathtaking views from every room. A blend of All-Inclusive amenities, comfort and luxury becomes the setting for a truly unforgettable vacation. Exquisite culinary experiences reign supreme at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach. An atmosphere of absolute indulgence is felt when their award-winning chefs work their magic in the three specialty restaurants. There is something for every taste-sure to satisfy even the most demanding palate. This all-inclusive resort includes all meals including the a la carte Japanese Tepanyaki, Steak House and Cajun Restaurants, all beverages- unlimited international and domestic cocktails, beer and soft drinks, International Buffet Restaurant with show cooking, snack bar, daily and nightly entertainment, shows and activities, in-room complimentary mini-bar, and room service from 11am to 11pm.

The afternoon is at leisure for you to relax by the pool, or perhaps try a water-park! The setting here is made for relaxation.

Tonight is a special treat: Glistening Waters Boat Tour and Dinner. The Glistening Waters “luminous lagoon” is one of the most incredible spots in the world. The glowing lagoon will amaze you and fill you with wonder, and is a sight not to be missed. The 45-minute tour takes you around the edges of the lagoon. On the quiet lagoon everything seems to sparkle- the boat rips through the water creating a fluorescent wake, bright outlines of fishes zip through the water and lights flicker from distant towns and the stars overhead. Throughout the tour, your guide will recount the lagoon’s facts and tales. He will also take you to the nesting ground of cattle egrets, where you’ll see thousands of white birds perched in the mangrove trees. The highlight of the tour comes when the boat anchors near the middle of the lagoon so you can swim. “I’ve never lost a tourist,” boasts the guide, “you glow wherever you are, so you’re easy to find!” And it’s true- as you slip into the warm and calm water, all around your body lights up and a green glow flashes as you glide through the water. The swim is both exhilarating and fascinating!

The ascent on Sky Explorer skims the top of the trees, providing panoramic views of the picturesque coastline and close-up views of tropical treetops on the way to the centerpiece of the attraction, the 700-foot peak of Mystic Mountain. The return ride on Sky Explorer carries riders just below treetop level, but high above the forest floor to provide a sense of immersion in tropical wilds. A series of tree-to-tree platforms sends riders gliding through the coastal forest on the Rainforest Zip-Line Tranopy Tour, a customized zip-line canopy tour. The guided tour covers virgin areas of the mountain, flying through the canopy via a zip line along a series of interconnected tree- and land-based platforms. The tour ends at the mid-station of the Rainforest Sky Explorer chairlift, which returns zip-line riders to the park entrance.
