Cruise ships sail the warm, blue waters of the Caribbean all the year round, as tourists from all over the world voyage into one of the world's most fascinating destinations. The green island lines spread across the region and unite the luxury of modern resorts with virginal nature reserves; covered in splendid verdure, the great amount of natural attractions varies from the flamingo nesting territories on the beaches of Bonaire to the vivacious rain forest of Puerto Rico.
If you adore outdoor activities, the Caribbean offers you ideal weather for swimming in the sea, perfect areas for golf, sublime climate for dancing to the calypso beats, snorkeling among the coral reefs or just idling in the sun.
The most typical ports of call are San Juan, St. Kitts, St. John, St. Martin/Maarten, St. Thomas, Miami, Key West, Labadee, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel.
You may cruise to the next three Caribbean regions: Eastern, Western and Southern.
While cruising the Western Caribbean, the real adventure seekers may explore the reef- and shipwreck-surrounded island of Grand Cayman, which is a world famous for its amazing diving or aim at the vigorous and multi-cultural island of Jamaica with such ports of call as Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. Many Western Caribbean cruise ships also stop in Cozumel, Mexico. On a Southern Caribbean cruise, you may experience warm waters and plentiful islands. A typical southern Caribbean cruise departs from San Juan. Each island here is unique and marvelous, as the four-mile-long Jost Van Dyke, the volcanic island of Guadeloupe, the stylish French island of Martinique, and the diving Mecca of Curacao. Eastern Caribbean cruises will take you to the beaches of Puerto Rico and you will visit the islands of all the saints: St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Martin (with its French capital city of Marigot) and St. Maarten (with its Dutch capital city of Philipsburg). All the major cruise lines offer Eastern Caribbean cruises, as well as short lasting romantic getaways.
