Featured Destination: Caribbean
The Caribbean is, without question, the most popular cruise destination. Here you will find sun-drenched, white sand beaches; crystal clear water, exciting water sports, and unbelieveable shopping. These cruises leave year-round, most departing from US mainland ports. There are four types of Caribbean Cruises, each visiting different ports and offering a unique cruise experience. There is the Eastern Caribbean which is very relaxing typically spending 3 days at port and 3 days at sea. The Western Caribbean which is a little more active, typically spending 4 days in port and 2 days at sea. The Southern Caribbean which is even more active spending 5 days in port and 1 day at sea. And finally there is the Extended Caribbean which is a nice mix of Eastern and Western and tend to be 10 or 11 days cruising to the Western Caribbean and then over to the Eastern Caribbean. more |
