AN OPPORTUNITY TO CRUISE
VIEW International Foundation is partnering with Cruise Planners and Royal
Caribbean Cruise Lines to offer the following opportunity:
A seven night, eight day cruise in the western Caribbean aboard the Legend of
the Seas starting January 6 and returning Janyary 13, 2007.
Itinerary
· Day 1 - Tampa, Florida; Board the Legend of the Sea.
· Day 2 - At Sea; Relax and enjoy your vacation onboard your ship. You
can do as much or as little as you want.
· Day 3 - George Town, Cayman Islands; In a place that forgot to age,
beauty abounds as far as the eye can see. Endless cool, powdery sand meets
sheer coral reefs in the area aptly called Seven Mile Beach. Along the way
theres Pedros Castle, Turtle Crawls and the wild orchards and parrots of Rum
Point. In this British Crown Colony, over 100 species of rare birds coexist
with fascinating sea life and blossoming flora and fauna.
· Day 4 - Costa Maya, Mexico; Beginning where the Mayan Riviera ends,
the Costa Maya stretches along the coastline up to Belize. The Costa Maya is
the last remaining section of coastal properties yet to be exploited and there
are acres of coastal land with absolutely no development. The odd fishing
village spots the landscape but not much beyond that. Flying along the
coastline you encounter numerous cenotes and you can still see the outlines and
impressions of villages that were there centuries ago.
· Day 5 - Belize; Formerly a British colony, the independent country of
Belize has a rich history that dates back more than a thousand years. You may
wish to explore the massive pyramids and temples at the ancient Mayan sites of
Xunantunich or Altun-Ha. Pristine beaches and the second longest barrier reef
in the world provide ample opportunity for swimming, snorkeling and diving.
Combined with over 500 species of exotic birds, 250 varieties of orchids and
more than 600 archeological sites, Belize is a paradise.
· Day 6 - Cozumel, Yucatan, Mexico; The crystal clear water surrounding
Cozumel makes it a favorite for divers and sun-seekers from around the world.
Found on the Yucatan peninsula, it is the largest of Mexicos islands and
steeped in history, tracing Mayan descendants from 300 A.D. In town, there is
shopping for local crafts and dining in colorful restaurants.
· Day 7 - At Sea
· Day 8 - Tampa, Florida; Tampa is renowned for terrific boating,
fishing and swimming. But theres so much more, with the fascinating old-world
culture of Ybor City, and of course, Busch Gardens -- 300 acres of rides,
animal exhibits and live entertainments.
