Caribbean & Bahamas Cruises Map

We say "CRUISE" and you think "CARIBBEAN."

And no wonder - the Caribbean region practically invented cruising!

Beaches! Warm and endless!

Palm Trees! Swaying in soft breezes!

Shops! Duty-free bargains galore!

Fun! Attractions at every port!

History! Colonial forts & Mayan ruins!

Relax! Hammocks & rum cocktails!

The four major Caribbean & Bahamas areas:
BAHAMAS: Close and Easy!
Although the 700-island chain spreads for over 400 miles from Florida to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, cruise lines focus on the close-in "getaways" of Nassau, Freeport and nearby resort destinations.
EASTERN CARIBBEAN: Duty-free Shops & great beaches!
This is the "classic" Caribbean. Just about every cruise that visits this region calls on two of the Caribbean's best-known, most popular destinations of all - St. Thomas and St. Maarten! This region is tops for shopping and beach relaxation!
SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN: Exotic & Uncrowded!
Think of this region as the "exotic" Caribbean - home to the most distant & least traveled - and quite possibly the most diverse, attraction-filled tropical islands in the world!
WESTERN CARIBBEAN: Mayan ruins and great diving!
Today, this is the the Most Popular of all Caribbean regions. It's here where you'll find ready access to Mayan ruins, some of the world's best diving, excellent eco-tour options - and bargain shopping, too!
