The Caribbean continues to be a popular cruise destination for Canadians. Beautiful crystal blue, waters, pristine, white sandy beaches, and a kaleidoscope of cultures beckon us to the tropics. Even this past summer, the Caribbean was one of the most popular destinations for cruise lines.
The Caribbean is a favourite destination for many reasons. It has warm weather compared to Canada’s frigid winter temperatures. There are lots of interesting ports with each one being unique and exciting. In addition, the Caribbean is a perfect place for the beginner cruiser to be introduced to cruising.
There are more choices of ports of embarkation for the cruisers heading south this year. Passengers will be able to depart from New York City, Baltimore, Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, San Juan, Barbados, Colon, Mobile, New Orleans, and Galveston. More ports, mean a huge saving on flight costs, especially if you are travelling as a family or group.
Numerous cruise lines sail the Caribbean such as MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Carnival, Celebrity, Disney , Holland America, Princess, and Royal Caribbean. Cruises can be as short as three nights or over two weeks long. The most difficult decision is deciding which cruise to take! Right now there are still some great deals.
