Crystal-clear azure blue waters wash gently against pristine white-sand beaches. Mountains and rainforests are bathed in lush, green foliage. Waterfront streets are lined with pastel-colored buildings wrapped in facades of pinks, blues, and reds. And each night ends with a stunning display of vibrant orange and yellow as the sun sets into the sea. Everywhere you turn, the Caribbean islands are awash in a rainbow of colors.
But the islands of the Caribbean are known as much for their rich culture and diverse history as they are for their breathtaking beauty, with over 30 approved and tentative UNESCO World Heritage Sites spread across 14 islands. These sites are identified as having cultural or historical significance, and are legally protected because of their significance.
Although evidence suggests the islands were inhabited over five thousand years ago, most scholars consider 1493 as the beginning of colonization in the Caribbean when Christopher Columbus landed on the shores of the Bahamas. He found the islands to be a treasure trove of gold, precious metals, and fertile land perfect for farming sugar. Soon after, the British, French, and Dutch followed. And for the next two centuries the Europeans battled for control of the islands. Many of the fortresses built to protect their property are preserved today, recognized as World Heritage sites.
When you join your friends at CDC Distributors you will see for yourself this intriguing blend of cultures as we sail to the exotic islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and the Dominican Republic. Sailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, you'll enjoy the comforts of a luxury hotel for eight days aboard the newly-launched Norwegian Viva. And, when you're not exploring the ports of call, you'll find an almost endless assortment of things to do on board. All the ingredients for an impressive vacation, don't you think?
Welcome aboard the all-new Norwegian Viva, the next stunning ship in the brand-new Prima Class. The Norwegian Viva is designed to elevate the cruising experience, beginning with its Ocean Boulevard -- a 360 degree concourse filled with a sculpture garden, Infinity Beach, an open-air lounge, and two Oceanwalk glass bridges to make you feel as if you are walking on air or water.
While on board the Norwegian Viva you’ll have the opportunity to experience a multitude of on board activities, including the Viva Speedway, a three-level race track at sea. Take an exhilarating plunge down The Drop, a 10-story free-fall dry slide. Play it up at The Stadium where complimentary shuffleboard, pickleball, and “beer pong” guarantee a good time for all. Visit the Galaxy Pavilion and immerse yourself in a virtual world of escape rooms, racing and flight simulators, and even a TopGolf golf simulator. In addition, you’ll find nightly stage productions, live music and comedy shows, a full-service spa and fitness center, the Viva Casino, and so much more.
