Best Cruise Lines Destinations: I. Caribbean Sea

The idyllic combination of sun, sea, white sandy beaches and fabulous landscapes, makes the Caribbean the ultimate cruising destination.

Not only does the sun shine year round, but many of the islands are lush and green. In addition to the region’s famed beaches there are also many fascinating places for you to visit, and each island has its own colourful history. From Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua to Brimstone Hill Fortress in St. Kitts, these islands` riches have been fought over for many centuries.

As the gentle waves softly caress the shoreline you will find your worries just melting away. From Grand Anse beach in Grenada, to Cane Garden Bay in Tortola, your picture postcard paradise is never far away. And, if you have been dreaming of your own secluded island in the sun, the private island of Mayreau is the perfect Robinson Crusoe getaway.

But it’s not all about beaches, there’s plenty to do besides sunbathing. From jeep safaris through tropical rainforest in St. Lucia, to swimming with stingrays in Grand Cayman, or horse riding in Jamaica, every day offers new possibilities. You might watch for whales and dolphins, go river tubing or even traverse through the jungle canopy to gain a bird’s eye view. Shop at local markets, try snorkelling or scuba diving, enjoy the local rum punch and adopt the ‘no worries’ attitude of the locals. After all, what could there possibly be to worry about when the sun’s shining, the food’s so good and everyone is so welcoming?

Whether you are a sports fanatic, nature lover, sun-worshipper or water baby, the Caribbean has no other rival on earth for natural beauty and fun in the sun. With its wonderful blend of natural and man-made attractions, each island can offer you a totally different experience. And, with a different island almost every day, you can really embrace the diversity of this wonderful region.
