Caribbean Cruises

There is no doubt that cruising is the best way to discover the beautiful Caribbean.

This cruising paradise is scattered with thousands of islands, reefs and cays offering stunning landscapes – volcanic peaks, mountains, rainforests, lagoons and golden beaches sheltered by sweeping palms.

With so many different cruises around the Caribbean, cruisers are spoilt for choice. Whether you choose a luxurious small ship, a unique sailing ship, or a larger ship with superb facilities, we offer something for everyone.

The fantastic climate promises winter sunshine from November to April, when you can swim in the warm, crystal clear sea, sip exotic rum cocktails and ease into an unhurried Caribbean tempo on board and ashore.

Shoppers will love opportunities for duty free shopping and the sophisticated boutiques in Gustavia and St Barts, history lovers can stroll Antigua’s historic Nelson Dockyard and superb colonial houses on many islands, whilst nature lovers will be spoilt for choice. Spot dolphin, whales and the many species of turtle which nest on Caribbean shores.

If your ideal cruise includes off the beaten track destinations, the islands off the north coast of Venezuela and the thriving communities of Kuna Indians on the San Blas Islands in Panama are less-visited Caribbean gems.
