   Your Grand Cayman adventure begins with pickup from your Seven Mile Beach accommodation. Cruise guests meet at the Waterfront Centre, a short walk from the cruise port, while guests outside the pickup area or without hotel information meet at Cayman Falls Plaza, across from The Westin. After the ride to the marina, board your boat and cruise across the North Sound toward Stingray City, the experience that helped make Grand Cayman’s stingrays famous.

With water typically no more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep, experience these graceful creatures in their natural environment. Learn about the stingrays from your crew and get expert guidance to capture the perfect photo alongside them, surrounded by the turquoise Caribbean, before climbing back aboard for the next part of your adventure.
