Definitely take advantage of the shopping on 5th Avenue. Stop off for a coffee in the golden atrium of the Trump Tower and stroll through the Rockerfelller centre on your way to marvel at the bright lights of Times Square. Soak up the panoramic views from the viewing platform at the top of the Empire State Building as the sun sets over the horizon and the lights twinkle on.
Day 4
New York, USA to Fort Lauderdale, USA
Board the train for your overnight rail journey to Fort Lauderdale, based on a private roomette and is on a full-board basis.
Days 5 - 6
Fort Lauderdale, USA

Known as the Venice of America with lots of inland waterways, million pound mansions and a white sand beach stretching as far as the eye can see. There are a number of excellent restaurants, bars and shops to be found overlooking the beach along the main palm tree lined beach promenade. La Galleria Mall has some top name brands and upmarket stores for air conditioned comfort. While the main shopping street is Las Olas Boulevard the of Fort Lauderdale.

Day 9
Puerto Plata, Dominican Rep
The birthplace of tourism in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata continues to pack a mighty punch. Its spectacular, sprawling landscape combines sea, mountains, lush valleys, rivers, and a multitude of beaches. Its fertile soil grows cacao and coffee trees, while underneath rests the world's clearest amber.
Day 10
Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas
St Thomas is part of the US Virgin Islands and THE duty free shopper’s paradise in the Caribbean. Charlotte Amalie is the capital – and this quaint town is a joy to walk around with its cobbled streets and alley ways filled with the best shops in the Caribbean – but not so much “in your face†as the other islands. Unlike most of the other islands this is the US of A in the Caribbean – it is clean, organised and well run; you may think that you are in one of the Florida Keys. The best beach is Magens Bay (voted one of the top 10 beaches of the world) and is approximately 6 miles away from the capital on the other side of the island.
Day 11
Philipsburg, St.Maarten
This island was settled at different periods buy both the Dutch and the French so there are two distinct halves to the island. The capital is Philipsburg where the cruise ships dock at the quayside. This is a delightful warren of narrow streets with interesting shops and leafy courtyard cafes. This is a wonderful place to wander around starting in Wathey Square where you will fund a fine collection of West Indian Gingerbread houses. The French Capital is Marigot- worth visiting for its markets, café lined waterfront and the chic boutiques of Marina Port La Royale.
