Caribbean Cruises

The Caribbean is divided into three regions – East, South and West each with its own unique char. The islands provide an unparalleled choice of water sports, sandy beaches and crystal clear seas, and some also bring a mix of colonial architecture from years past.

It is easy to see why more individuals take cruises toward the Caribbean than any other place in the world. A hot climate; the wide range of ports of call, each a distinctive appeal and character; numerous beaches; fantastic shopping at duty free costs; and clear seas rich with marine life make this portion of the globe an ideal cruise vacation destination.

It is easier than ever reach the Caribbean thanks to an increase in available flights and when you arrive it guarantees a relaxing break with constant sunshine – and with the surge of brand new resorts, spas and bars opening up, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

There are always Caribbean Cruise Deals to be had throughout the year and we’re happy to make it a cruise and stay holiday for something a little different.

The main ports for Caribbean Cruise Deals are Miami and Fort Lauderdale in Florida where throughout the year cruises depart almost daily to exotic destinations. Other US ports such as Port Canaveral and Tampa are also used.

Caribbean cruises do also depart round-trip from UK ports such as Southampton and are perfect for passengers preferring not to fly although can be anything from 21 days in duration.

One mention of the words Caribbean cruises evokes imaginations of white sands and palm trees against a backdrop of clear turquoise blue sea. True, these images are close to the reality,  but a Caribbean cruises can offer much more than that such is the history which surrounds it.

The Islands of the Caribbean cover a vast area and their number s run into thousands. Most are part of the Island countries of the Caribbean region and each one offers a different kind of atmosphere with its variety of cultures.

The majority of Caribbean cruises depart from the main ports of Florida, with cruise departures from Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Port Canaveral and, depending on the length of cruise, visit either the ports of the Western Caribbean, the Eastern Caribbean or the Southern Caribbean.

Some cruises to the Caribbean will begin and end in either New York or Baltimore whilst visiting King’s Wharf and Hamilton in Bermuda whilst a number of fly-cruises from the UK start and finish in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Western Caribbean cruises are typically seven nights and often include stops in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Jamaica and Grand Cayman are always popular ports of call and along with Belize and Cozumel make up a typical cruise to the Western Caribbean

The white sands of the Bahamas can be explored when taking an Eastern Caribbean cruise which, like a Western Caribbean cruise, is usually for seven nights. Puerto Rico, Antigua and the Virgin and Leeward Islands are also part of a typical cruise to the Eastern Caribbean.

Southern Caribbean cruises will visit the Windward Islands which include Dominica, Martinique, St, Lucia, St Vincent and Barbados before heading further south to Trinidad, Tobago and on to Isla Margarita off the northern coast of Venezuela before reaching Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba in the Antilles.
