The Sunshine State
The reasons to visit the lush and tropical Greater Fort Lauderdale area are as abundant as the sunshine and palm trees you will feel and see, with more than 300 kilometers of navigable waterways, 30 kilometers of pristine beaches and soft ocean breezes, beckoning you to make Fort Lauderdale your next port-of-call. The famous Intracoastal Waterway is lined with marinas and waterfront restaurants. Explore the beach, with its soft sands and inviting view of beachfront promenades lined with a variety of local shops and restaurants. Or explore the artificial reefs below the water line and get eye to eye with beautiful exotic fish and mesmerizing reef life. This is also the only place in the continental USA where you can snorkel and dive on a living coral reef straight off the beach, so if diving is on your agenda, talk to your chief stewardess and she will set you up for an unforgettable experience!
