THE TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS ITINERARY
The Turks & Caicos Islands are located 575 miles southeast of Miami and were first populated by the Lucayan or Arawak Indians. Columbus claimed the islands for Spain in 1492, which then in 1670 ceded them to Britain. Dependencies of the Bahamas until 1874, the islands were subsequently controlled by the Jamaican government. In 1962 the islands became a British Commonwealth Colony, which they remain today.
Casual attire is appropriate on board, as well as throughout the islands. The US Dollar is the official currency of the Turks & Caicos; power outlets and 115-volt power are the same as in the USA. Passports are now required for all visitors; an ongoing or return ticket is required.
French Cay & West Sand Spit are dove weather permitting. Grand Turk, South Caicos diving are on special itineraries only.
