CARIBBEAN CRUISE DESTINATIONS
|
|
The Caribbean is where modern day cruising was born. It still has - - particularly in the winter months - - the greatest concentration of cruise ships of any geographic region.
Late November through March is the peak Caribbean cruising season. However, ships can be found plying its waters throughout the year even in hurricane season, which is from July to early November.
Its biggest attraction is its usually warm and pleasant weather. However, the ports also have natural beauty, history and culture.
Beyondship's profiles provide information about each of these cruise destinations from a cruise passenger perspective. They provide an overview and brief history, a description of the cruise port, a discussion of places of interest and links to other websites with information about that destination. Each profile is illustrated with numerous photos.
In the index below, we have included some destinations - - the Bahamas and Grand Turk - - that are not technically in the Caribbean but which are often included on Caribbean cruises. Bermuda is also not in the Caribbean and is only occasionally included in Caribbean cruise itineraries. It is also a unique cruise experience. However, because it is an island and its attractions include beaches and a pleasant climate, we have included it in this index.

Caribbean Cruise Destinations (alphabetical index)
Private Islands Index
Several of the major cruise lines operate their own resorts. They are generally referred to as "private islands" even though several are only portions of islands. They are private in the sense that the only people who can enter and use the resort's facilities are the passengers of the cruise ships that are visiting the resort. In this index, they are listed alphabetically along with the primary cruise lines that use the resort.
