The World's Most Popular Cruise Region — For Good Reason
The Caribbean offers more variety than any other cruise destination. Beach lovers find powder-white sand and warm, calm water. History buffs explore sugar plantation ruins and colonial fortresses. Divers access some of the world's richest coral reef systems. Foodies indulge in some of the most distinctive cuisines in the world.
The Western Caribbean (Cozumel, Roatán, Belize) offers Mayan ruins and world-class diving. The Eastern Caribbean (St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia) is upscale, lush, and culturally rich. The Southern Caribbean ventures into the most authentic, least-touristy islands.
