Cape Canaveral, located on Florida’s Space Coast, is a must‑visit destination for anyone fascinated by space exploration and coastal living. Just an hour east of Orlando, this barrier island combines pristine Atlantic beaches with one of the world’s most important spaceports. The atmosphere is relaxed and beachy, yet infused with the excitement of rocket launches that regularly light up the sky.
The area’s star attraction is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where you can walk beneath towering Saturn V rockets, see real Space Shuttles, explore interactive exhibits, and even meet veteran astronauts. Time your visit with a scheduled launch to experience the ground‑shaking power of a rocket liftoff from designated viewing areas—an unforgettable highlight of any trip. Be sure to book tickets in advance, especially during peak seasons and major missions.
Beyond space, Cape Canaveral offers natural beauty and outdoor activities. Miles of sandy coastline invite swimming, surfing, and leisurely walks at sunrise, while nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is ideal for bird‑watching, manatee spotting, and kayaking through mangrove-lined waterways. Port Canaveral, one of the world’s busiest cruise ports, is also a lively spot for seafood dining, waterfront bars, and fishing charters.
Cape Canaveral’s compact size makes it easy to explore by car or bicycle, and its laid‑back vibe contrasts nicely with the high‑tech history on display. Stay in a beachside hotel or vacation rental, enjoy fresh local seafood, and let your days alternate between learning about humanity’s journey into space and relaxing by the ocean. It’s a unique blend of science, nature, and Florida coastal charm.

Departure: 16:00
Labadee (French: Labadie) is a port located on the northern coast of Haiti within the arrondissement of Cap-Haïtien in the Nord department. It is a private resort leased to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., for the exclusive use of passengers of its three cruise lines: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara Club Cruises, until 2050.
Royal Caribbean has contributed the largest proportion of tourist revenue to Haiti since 1986, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their wares on the premises for a fee and paying the Haitian government US $ 12 per tourist. The resort is completely tourist-oriented, and is guarded by a private security force. The site is fenced off from the surrounding area, and passengers are not allowed to leave the property. Food available to tourists is brought from the cruise ships. A controlled group of Haitian merchants are given sole rights to sell their merchandise and establish their businesses in the resort. Although sometimes described as an island in advertisements, it is actually a peninsula contiguous with the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship moors to the pier at Labadee capable of servicing the Oasis class ships, which was completed in late 2009. The commercial airport that is closest to Labadee is Cap-Haïtien International Airport.
Attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-oriented playground, an alpine coaster, and the largest zip-line over water.
