Selecting the Best Caribbean Cruise Itinerary

Caribbean cruises offer a couple of cruise itineraries that voyagers can choose from. Experience first hand the exquisite haven of the Caribbean surrounded by turquoise waters and white sands, and island adventures. The islands in the Eastern Caribbean region are closely situated near each other so cruisers have more time to spend on land than on sea plus you get to indulge in endless water and beach fun activities. The Western Caribbean cruise is a fusion of Spanish history, great shopping, and some beach fun though cruisers get to have more time on the sea than on shore since the islands are a bit farther apart. Jump into a whole new world of virgin rain forest and gardens, volcano terrains, and a preview of Indian and French culture that make up the interesting Southern Caribbean Route. Whatever route the traveler prefers and chooses the important part is that you get value for your money and enjoy the cruise.

On Board the Top of the Line Easter Caribbean Cruises

Tourists and travelers usually opt for and choose the famous Eastern Caribbean cruise. With the Eastern Caribbean Cruises, there is as much time spent on the shore as on the sea since the ports of call are relatively near each other. Shore excursions include a taste of the amazing brilliant sun, pristine white sand and crystal clear azure sea of these natural and untouched islands with swimming or sports activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, beach volleyball or just simply lazing under the shade of its palm trees. Cruises to the Eastern region varies from a few days like weekends up to a week long or more. Rates vary depending on the cruise line, accommodation and type of services availed of, ranging from the most basic to the most magnificent. These cruises almost always include ports of call at Bahamas, Puerto Rico with San Juan, St. John, St. Thomas, St. Martin or St. Maarten and the British and American Virgin Islands. Cruise season is usually December to April with cheap rates during the summer months. Remember to avoid sailing during the months of hurricanes and storms which is from June to November.

The Amazing Western Caribbean Cruise

The Western Caribbean is a perfect cruise itinerary for those who want to experience the brilliance of the sun, the shimmering golden beaches, the natural beauty of the environment, and a blast from the past of earlier civilizations all wrapped in one. Cruises to the western part are available all year round from major cruise liners like the Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruises. Smaller cruise liners like the Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises and Holland America have seasonal cruises during cruise seasons.
