Itinerary
Fly to Barbados, a sun- and rum-drenched Caribbean island, to start your holiday with three nights at the Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados. Situated on a 1-mile stretch of white sand beach along Carlisle Bay, the resort is in a prime location for sunning and swimming, and is less than 5-minutes' walk from the historical George Washington House. 

On day four, you'll board Oceania Sirena for your 10-night cruise, calling at:

• Kingstown, Saint Vincent... the capital is known for its Botanical Gardens, the 1806 Fort Charlotte, and its bustling harbour.
• Carriacou, Grenada... the island's relaxed pace of life makes it the ideal place to simply soak up the Caribbean sun on Paradise Beach, or snorkel the coral reefs of Sandy Island.
• Willemstad, Curacao... walk across Queen Emma Bridge and admire the colourful Dutch architecture lining the waterfront.
• Oranjestad, Aruba... beach-hop around the coast, or head into town to wander vibrant streets and peruse the shops and local markets.
• Port Royal, Jamaica... a harbour town on the southern coast of Jamaica, with a long-standing maritime history and notorious pirate history dating back to the 17th century.
  
• Nassau, Bahamas... step straight off the ship into the capital's downtown—filled with bars, restaurants, and shops—or cross over to Paradise Island for a more laidback experience.
• Miami, Florida... this is your final port before being transferred to the airport for you flight back to the UK.

About the ship
Oceania Sirena carries just over 680 guests at full capacity, providing a luxurious small-ship experience for travellers who appreciate "excellent dining”, and port-intensive itineraries in an "upmarket setting" (Cruise Critic).

The pool is flanked by loungers and Jacuzzis on the teak-lined deck. The plush spa is a tranquil space with massage and beauty therapies on offer (fees apply). Take in sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows in the gym, where you can also join fitness classes. There's an outdoor golf putting green, and a jogging track around the vessel.

The Grand Dining Room exudes classic splendour, and it is decorated with tapestry fabrics and rich wood panels. Both speciality venues—one offers Italian fine-dining and seafood, the other Pan-Asian—are included in your package (reservations required). Your package also covers House Select alcoholic beverages to enjoy with lunch and dinner. 

In the evenings, you can try your luck at the casino, enjoy high-energy shows, or live music at one of the lounges.
