Combine a Southern Caribbean cruise with a relaxed all inclusive beach stay on this fourteen night escape. Begin with flights from Dublin to Puerto Rico before sailing through the Caribbean on board Rhapsody of the Seas, visiting island ports across the US and Eastern Caribbean. After the cruise, continue to Punta Cana for six nights at an all inclusive beach resort, giving you time to unwind after days of exploring by sea.
Rhapsody of the Seas offers a range of spaces and activities to enjoy on sea days. There are multiple swimming pools and whirlpools on deck for sunning and swimming, plus an adults only Solarium with a retractable roof for a quieter pool environment. The ship has a rock climbing wall, a mini golf course and a jogging track for outdoor activity. The Adventure Ocean youth programme provides age-specific activities for children and teens, while adults can use the fitness centre or book treatments in the Vitality Spa.
Evenings centre around the main theatre with live shows and a selection of lounges and bars, including the Viking Crown Lounge with panoramic views. Dining options include the main dining rooms and a buffet venue, with speciality restaurants such as Chops Grille and Giovanni’s Table available for guests who choose to book them.
Two classic Caribbean stops known for beaches, clear water and easy access to viewpoints and waterfront towns. Ideal for beach clubs, snorkelling or simply spending a few relaxed hours ashore before sailing on.
These ports enjoy a mix of scenery and history. Expect colonial towns, calm beaches and short trips inland to see how the islands developed beyond the coastline.
The most nature focused stop on the route, with rainforest landscapes, waterfalls and volcanic terrain. A strong contrast to the other islands and a highlight for anyone interested in scenery and guided trips ashore.
After the cruise, fly to the Dominican Republic for six nights at Dreams Royal Beach Punta Cana. Set directly on a long sandy beach, the resort offers multiple swimming pools, casual and à la carte restaurants, bars, daily activities and evening entertainment, all included. With food, drinks and entertainment covered, this final stay allows you to settle in, enjoy the beach and finish the trip without needing to organise anything.

Costa Rica offers so much for such a small country. In ten nights, this self-drive trip takes you from the capital to the base of an active volcano, deep into cloud forest, and out to a quiet stretch of Pacific coastline. With a Hyundai Tucson and inclusive insurance for the full duration, you get to see all this beautiful country has to offer at your own pace.
This ten night journey blends Rome's historic landmarks with the coastal towns of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Explore the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, walk Rome's key piazzas, travel south by first class train and spend a full week in Sant'Agnello, close to Sorrento's harbours, viewpoints and day trip options.
Sun, sea and a long sandy beach on the north east coast of Mallorca. Can Picafort is the quieter, more relaxed side of the island, perfect for families who want a proper week in the sun without the noise and crowds of the busier resorts. Seven nights, great weather and everything the kids could want.
