What's great about Caribbean cruises?
Caribbean cruises excel in weak-at-the-knees scenery. The region’s 7,000 islands sweep across the Caribbean Sea, and flawless white beaches are something they all have in common. Whether you drop anchor in Aruba, St Lucia or Guadeloupe, you’ll be greeted with icing sugar sands lapped by sparkling blue waves.
With this comes a world-class diving scene. You can nose around an ancient shipwreck off Grand Turk’s shores, come face-to-face with turtles in Barbados, or swim with stingrays in the Cayman Islands. And cruise holidays to Dominica are perfect for snapping sperm whales – it’s the only place in the world where they live all-year-round.
Venture away from the water and you’ll find each place has its own unique flavour, too. The Dutch Island of Curacao looks like it belongs in a colouring book, while under-the-radar St Maarten’s 400-odd restaurants have earned it a reputation as a culinary capital.
If you want to spend a little longer on an idyllic isle, book a Cruise & Stay holiday to the Caribbean. This way, you can top up your tan with a beach break before or after your cruise. You can stay at a luxe resort in the Dominican Republic, or a beachfront hotel in Barbados.

Caribbean cruises
Caribbean cruises are the cheat code to waking up in paradise. The beaches here take some beating, with their shell-white sands and balmy blue water. Plus, you’ve got world-class snorkelling, rainbow-splashed architecture, and micro-doses of historic culture, from Dutch influence in Curacao to a French foodie scene in St. Maarten.
