Day-by-Day Itinerary

Sail from Belize to Florida through the heart of the Western Caribbean, moving between Belizean coastal heritage, and the quiet Out Islands of the Bahamas. This warm-water journey traces turquoise channels, calm tropical shores, and laid-back island towns, revealing the region’s diverse cultures, colours, and seascapes along the way

Itinerary route map

NOTE: This itinerary provides general information about each destination. Also, please be aware that some of the venues and highlights mentioned may not be open or accessible on the day we visit. For the most accurate tour program, we recommend contacting your Swan Hellenic agent or travel agent closer to your departure date.

Overview

Day 1. Belize City

Day image 1
Begin your Caribbean journey in Belize City, a coastal hub where wooden houses, waterfront districts, and Central American culture meet the warm edge of the Caribbean Sea. Before departure, there’s time to feel the city’s lively rhythm and its mix of colonial streets and tropical greenery. As evening falls, SH Vega sails into open water and the journey begins

Day 2. Day at sea

Day image 1
Your first day at sea offers an easy immersion into the voyage. Warm breezes, open horizons, and long stretches of turquoise water set a calm pace as the ship moves toward the Cayman Islands. It’s a day shaped by sunlight, sea, and the shifting palette of the Caribbean

Day 3. Georgetown, Grand Cayman

Day image 1
Arrive in the Cayman Islands’ capital, known for its clear water, pale beaches, and bright island energy. George Town blends resort ambience with quiet coastal corners, offering a classic first glimpse of Western Caribbean island life

Day 4. Cayman Brac

Day image 1
Cayman Brac, the easternmost and least developed of the Cayman Islands, blends natural beauty with cultural charm. Just 12 miles long, its 150 ft-high limestone ridge is the highest point in the Caymans. The rugged terrain and lush forest is home to over 200 bird species including endangered parrots, brown boobies and peregrine falcon. Visitors can enjoy exploring caves, trails, pirate history and kayaking in the calm waters off the south coast.

Day 5. Day at sea

Day image 1
Relax on deck and enjoy expansive ocean views. Enrich your voyage with expert-led lectures, reference books in the library, and onboard photography workshops led by professional photographers

Day 6. Great Inagua Island, Man of War Bay

Day image 1
Great Inagua feels remote and unhurried, with wide-open beaches and vivid, glassy water. Man of War Bay is peaceful and bright, a place where the sea seems to glow in warm shades of blue. It’s an introduction to the calmer, wilder character of the southern Bahamas

Day 7. Long Island, Clarence Town

Day image 1
Long Island reveals the “watercolour palette” of the Bahamas: sweeping coastlines, gentle villages, and brilliant, multi-toned ocean shallows. Clarence Town is known for its twin white churches and striking coastal views that stretch across endless turquoise water

Day 8. Exuma Island, Staniel Cay

Day image 1
Staniel Cay is one of the most picturesque cays in the Exumas, defined by narrow channels, bright turquoise water, and pastel houses scattered along the shoreline. It feels intimate and dreamlike, like a quiet island retreat far from the world.

Day 9. Nassau

Day image 1
Your final island stop brings you to Nassau, the Bahamas’ cultural centre, known for its colourful streets, historic harbour, and lively urban-island mix. It’s a blend of Caribbean heritage, coastal architecture, and city energy before the voyage turns toward Florida

Day 10. Fort Lauderdale

Day image 1
Arrive in Fort Lauderdale, where canals, palm-lined boulevards, and Florida sunshine mark the end of your journey. The city’s calm, bright coastal atmosphere offers a soft landing after days among islands, bays, and warm Caribbean waters
