"The 'Voyage to Well Being' was such an inspiring vacation that I signed up my entire family for the next year before I left the ship! What a fantastic way to combine enlightening seminars with interesting ports of call while avoiding the hassles of transportation and the search for quality food. And as an added bonus--the opportunity to form friendships for a lifetime!"
Elizabeth S., Washington, DC

Shore Excursions

Costa offers a variety of shore excursions in the ports of call. You will find a wide choice of relaxing, natural and cultural tours suitable for older and younger guests, as well as more active and sports-oriented excursions for those who prefer a little more adventure. Click here for a list of the rates of descriptions of the shore excursions offered by Costa during our March 21-28, 2010 cruise. Once you have booked the cruise, using your booking number, you can register and reserve the excursions of your choice on the Costa website (www.costacruises.com), or you can sign up on board at the Excursions desk.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Sun, March 21st
Depart: 7:00 pm

Ft. Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale features an endless array of art galleries and boutiques for your shopping and browsing pleasure and a beach that’s been the subject of many movies, plus hotels, golf, shops, dining, sports, and much more. Centrally located between Miami and West Palm Beach and a short ride from the exotic Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale is considered the gateway to South Florida.


St. Thomas / St. John*, U.S. Virgin Islands

Wed, March 24th
Arrive: 8:00 am
Depart: 6:00 pm

St. Thomas

Formerly a private hideout, St. Thomas is now a haven for duty-free shopping. Discover small boutiques, historic buildings and scenic waterfront views. There are more tours to choose from here than anywhere else in the Caribbean, and every year the excursions get better. Of course, shopping is the big draw in Charlotte Amalie, the main town where products from all over the world can be purchased.

St. John* offers 12,000 acres of National Park land, 20 miles of biking trails, beautiful white-sand beaches and some of the best snorkeling the Caribbean has to offer. *St. John is just a short ferry ride from St Thomas.


San Juan, Puerto Rico

Thurs, March 25th
Arrive: 8:00 am
Depart: 4:00 pm

San Juan

Although San Juan is part of the US, like other Caribbean cities, it is steeped in Spanish tradition. San Juan has restored 16th century buildings, museums, art galleries, and bookstores all within a seven-block neighborhood.  However, the fun really begins after dinner. Take in flamboyant Latin revues, flamenco dancers, casinos and many piano bars and discos. Don’t forget to take some Puerto Rican rum and coffee home with you.


Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands

Fri, March 26th
Arrive: Noon
Depart: 6:00 pm

Grand Turk

Grand Turk, the capital island of Turks & Caicos, is delightfully rustic and charming. In pedestrian-friendly Cockburn Town, explore historic and cultural landmarks. Duke and Font Streets are lined with 18th and 19th century structures that reflect the Bermudan style architecture. Or opt for a day on a picture-perfect beach. Shop for island treasures. Or grab your mask and fins and enjoy some of the best diving and snorkling in the Caribbean.
