City Skylines & Caribbean Shores
Kick things off among New York’s iconic landmarks, dial things up in Las Vegas, then unwind completely as the Caribbean breeze takes over on a Princess Cruises voyage.


Your holiday starts in the lively streets of New York City, where iconic views and neighbourhood wandering set the scene perfectly, and continues as you hop across to Las Vegas for a burst of bright lights. After all the big-city buzz, fly to Fort Lauderdale before swapping sidewalks for ocean views on a Caribbean cruise with Princess Cruises. Over the next week, you’ll drift between sun-kissed islands, including Princess Cays in the Bahamas, lush Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, and the impossibly turquoise shores of Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos.
Itinerary overview
Highlights of trip
Trip notes
Before your cruise
New York and Las Vegas make a cracking double act. New York hits you with energy the moment you arrive, all crane-your-neck skyscrapers, yellow taxis, and a to-do list of sights as long as your arm. Then you swap it for the bright lights of Vegas, where everything is oversized, over-the-top, and outrageously fun. It is like flipping the channel from gritty drama to pure sparkle.
Trip notes
A New York Wander
The Lower East Side food tour is such a good way to feel like you’ve seen NYC beyond the tourist to-dos. Instead of rushing past places, you slow down and hear the stories behind the street corners, the delis, and the old bakeries. You nibble, you wander, you disc ould never over little spots you w have found on your own.
Trip notes
Up, up and away
If there’s one thing you’ve got to do in Vegas, it’s gliding above the Strip in a chopper, watching the hotels turn into glowing toy buildings, then sweeping over to the Sphere, one of the city’s newer icons, lighting up the night sky. It’s the kind of memory that sticks with you for years. Thrilling, slightly surreal, and very, very Vegas.
Trip notes
After your cruise
If you want to keep the sunshine going a little longer, a few nights in Miami is a lovely way to end your holiday. Think bright art deco buildings, warm evenings by the beach, and food with Cuban flair. It’s relaxed if you want it to be, or a full-on party if you prefer. Either way, a pause in Miami is a sensational way to delay your return to reality.
Days 1 to 3
New York City
Arrive in New York and check into your hotel. You’ll spend the next couple of days soaking up everything the Big Apple does best. If you want to check off some of the most famous sights, observation decks, and museums, ask us to add a Go City pass to your booking. We’ve included a Lower East Side food and walking tour, as it’s such a brilliant way to get under the skin of the city. Expect local stories, proper New York flavours, and a true insight into a fascinating New York neighbourhood.

Days 4 to 6
Las Vegas
Fly five hours west from New York to Las Vegas and launch straight into that glow of neon – after all, a few days in NYC will have helped you begin to adjust to your new time zone. Vegas is loud, bold, and completely unapologetic, and that is exactly what makes it so fun. Over the next two days, take your pick from poolside lounging, outrageous shows, themed hotels, brilliant restaurants, and all the people-watching you could ever want. And because a trip to Vegas is never complete without seeing it from above, there’s a chopper ride over the Strip included in this holiday.
