The Top Cruise Destination in the World
Not much can beat an all inclusive Caribbean cruise. Whether you’re a seasoned sea voyager or a first-time passenger indulging in a bucket list vacation, there’s no better way to visit this part of the world than aboard a ship.
This part of the world features more than 7,000 countries, islands, islets and cays; the most comprehensive and most pleasurable way to explore them has got to be by booking a holiday on any one of the best Caribbean cruises to the area.
Traditionally the area is divided into three regions: the southern, the eastern and the western. As each offers a unique combination of activities, features and attractions wrapped in a unique ambiance, there’s sure to be one that will suit your tastes.

The Southern Seas
Imagine exotic landscapes, dramatic volcanoes, diverse and abundant wildlife, a sense of nature’s infinite wonder and picture-postcard beaches. An all inclusive Caribbean cruise to the southern islands is simply the most effective way to turn this dream into a reality.
Ships call at the ports of some these locations: Martinique, Grenada, St Kitts, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, Curacao and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Passengers will have the opportunity to explore topography that ranges from tropical rainforest to lunar desert landscapes.
Recommended Itineraries

The Eastern Seas
If you feel the Caribbean is synonymous with a relaxed, laidback approach to life then you should consider visiting the destinations served by the ships that ply the more eastern regions.
The best Caribbean cruises here will call at the ports of some of the following: Saint Martin, Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands. These destinations are some of the more westernised parts of the region so you can expect amazing shopping opportunities, fabulous beaches and superb water sports.

The Western Seas
Adventurers, thrill-seekers and those looking for an out of the ordinary cultural experience will get the most from the best Caribbean cruises in this area due south of Florida.
You’ll find routes that include Jamaica, Belize, Cayman Islands, Bahamas and Haiti. You should bring bundles of energy and prepare to use your sea days to rest up in preparation for the adventures coming the next time your ship drops anchor.
To get the picture, think underwater archaeology, ziplining, diving with sharks and climbing waterfalls. Of course, you’ll also be unwinding over relaxing cocktails served along the pristine white beaches – it is the Caribbean after all!
