You'll get to enjoy some truly breathtaking views as you cruise along the coastline, with plenty of opportunities to swim in the crystal-clear blue waters! These stops will be in deep water, so if you're not confident in the water or if you're a weak swimmer, you need to bring swimming aids with you.
