Trip Advisor Pro

Every individual who goes on a Caribbean cruise will have a favourite destination in mind and for his own reasons, too. With the Caribbean offering wide spectrum of places to see, people to meet and things to do, you will also have your own favourites from dancing to the reggae music in a Jamaican resort to relaxing in the sun on a Bahamas beach. Here are just a few top destinations to visit on Caribbean cruises.

Paradise Island, Bahamas

The name is apt. Paradise Island in Bahamas was previously a private island of the magnate Huntington Hartford and was the haven for the mega-rich of our time. From its pristine beaches, to its alluring horizons that seemed to stretch into eternity, this island really is paradise.

Today, highly-luxurious resorts dot the island but it is still the view from the cruise ship that takes the breath away. The place just seems to stand still just for its awe-struck observers.

Antigua and Barbuda

Located on the eastern part of the Caribbean region, Antigua and Barbuda have beautiful stretches of pristine coastline with the latter being miles upon miles of beach. Its capital, St. John's, offers one of the most varied shopping experiences in the typical routes of Caribbean cruises with Heritage Quay and the Redcliffe Quay including the shops most worthy of stepping out of the ship and onto land.

Explore the numerous old sites of the territory as well. We can mention Shirley Heights with its lively Sunday afternoon barbecues complete with the steel band music. Or visit the old sugar plantations like Betty's Hope. Or make a trip into the Indian Town National Park.

Jamaica

No doubt about it - Jamaica is one of the most stunning islands in the western Caribbean and arguably the entire region. Its name means the land of woods and streams and what beautiful landscapes these two features make on the island. But don't forget to explore its mountains, too, with their flora and fauna sure to enchant visitors.

Jamaica is one of the most popular stops on Caribbean cruises because of the wide variety of activities it offers from the beautiful wildlife, to shopping for exotic items. Ochos Rios is home to the Dolphin Cove while the Montego Bay boasts of golf courses, shops and great houses to admire.
