Cruise HolidaysTop Caribbean Cruise DestinationsFor your Cruise Holidays here are the Top Caribbean Cruise Destinations. The Caribbean is a place of cliches, but pleasingly so. Golden sand beaches, lapped by crystal clear ocean, fringe by palms swaying in the breeze make for a picture perfect postcard that is merely real life in the Caribbean. Its heavenly, "paradise on earth" description awarded by holiday brochures and visitors alike, means it’s one of the world’s top luxury beach destinations. But with every island showcasing its own culture, landscape and history, you will want to visit more than just one island paradise. One of the best ways to do so is on a cruise ship. Here are five of the best Caribbean cruise destinations.
The town of Soufriere and the two Pitons in St Lucia
St Lucia St Lucia regularly makes the top spot on the world’s most popular honeymoon destinations and it’s not hard to see why. Rainforests line the beach and rise steeply to the mountainous tropical interior. The beaches are serene; long, sandy bays and white coral-sand coves with soft waves crashing onto the shore. Colorful coral reefs are just a few meters from the shore and the capital city of Castries is a charming gem of pastel houses reminiscent of the Baton Rouge. With a huge national park and some amazing diving spots, St Lucia is far more than just a beach destination. Barbados More pretty-as-a-picture vistas await you in Barbados. Though like St Lucia, there is more to Barbados than beaches and luxury resorts. The wind-swept west coast is a favorite with surfers and windsurfers and the hiking trails of the rugged limestone hills found in the interior attract all manner of trekkers and mountain bikers. The colonial history is well documented through preserved plantations and slavery museums and the capital Bridgetown is alive with action.
Amazing white sand beaches in the Turks and Caicos St Kitts and Nevis Together these two islands offer the full package. From the quieter, sleepier, smaller island of Nevis to the larger, more vibrant but just as laid-back big sister St Kitts, there is much to see and do. However, the real draw to these islands are the quiet beaches, which are even more pristine than their neighbors owing to the lower tourist numbers and sheltered location. British Virgin Islands The British Virgin Islands, of which there are 40, are mere specs of sand in a grand expanse of water. Many of the outer islands are completely uninhabited and if you fancy diving there are numerous wrecks stranded forever on a maze of coral reefs. Turks and Caicos Islands For your Cruise Holidays we saved the best ‘till last. Turks and Caicos are paradise found. There are eight main islands and 299 smaller "deserted islands" akin to Jack Sparrow’s rum haven in Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact, this whole region seems more like a pirates secret lair, undiscovered by the rest of the world owing to the fact the pirates want to keep their treasure hidden from the rest of us. The only difference here being the "pirates" own million dollar yachts and drink more champagne than rum. Search our site and the web
