Sun, Sea & Sights

One of the main benefits of cruising the Caribbean is the chance to take in the sights and explore some of the region's most breathtaking and sought after islands.

Whether hiking the picturesque rain forests of Dominica, swimming with stingrays in the Cayman Islands, or browsing the many duty free shops and markets of the US Virgin Islands, the Caribbean offers something fun and exciting for almost everyone, and island hopping allows visitors to experience it all. For many, the pristine white sand beaches and warm blue seas are the main lure of the Caribbean. Island hopping allows beach lovers to experience some of the best and most acclaimed beaches not only in the Caribbean but in the world, all in one trip!

No matter how laid back or active one wants to be, an island hopping cruise to the Caribbean offers the options and variety to satisfy almost everyone. The only difficulty may be deciding where exactly to sail off to!

Western Caribbean

Cruises to the Western Caribbean are amongst the most popular and affordable, and for several reasons. Sailings depart from a variety of gateways, both in Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico, making them easily accessible. There are also a variety of sailing lengths to choose from, starting at only 4 nights. Finally, and most importantly, they offer the most diverse range of destinations in the Caribbean, featuring a wide assortment of activities, such as climbing Jamaica's beautiful Dunn's River Falls, swimming amidst the brilliant colours of the world's second largest barrier reef, or just relaxing on Grand Cayman's famous Seven Mile Beach.

Eastern Caribbean

For those seeking magnificent beaches, picture postcard scenery, cultural sights, and a plethora of shopping, a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean is a must. Typically departing from South Florida, although sometimes also departing from the US eastern seaboard, these itineraries often spend as many days sailing as days ashore, and are ideally suited to sun worshippers as well as those seeking more adventure, both onboard and ashore.

Southern Caribbean

The islands of the Southern Caribbean are what many imagine true paradise on earth to be. Amongst the most upscale and trendy Caribbean islands, but also the most distant to reach, a cruise is the easiest and most affordable way to visit much of this region. While some longer sailings depart from South Florida and the US eastern seaboard, most sailings depart from charming and historic San Juan, Puerto Rico, where they visit the beautiful Virgin Islands, and from there head south to the lush British heritage islands of Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia, the French islands of Martinique and Dominica, and the uniquely Dutch islands of Aruba and Curacao. Featuring a warmer climate in the winter and little to no threat of hurricanes in the summer, these are some of these most desirable and sought after islands in the Caribbean.
