CARIBBEAN CRUISES

The Caribbean is a vast region that offers a number of cruise options. The Western Caribbean is a popular destination for cruises departing from Miami or Tampa, Florida. This area includes several interesting ports of call, including the following:

Cozumel This island resort is part of the Mexican Caribbean. First discovered by divers in the 1950s, Cozumel now hosts visitors from all over the world. Besides diving, for which it is still well known, the resort offers fabulous shops, luxurious hotels and great restaurants, all with a special Mexican flavor.

George Town Location on Grand Cayman Island, George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands. It is sometimes called the “Switzerland of the Caribbean” since it is a leading financial center. Nevertheless, the city and surrounding area provide the tourist with many diversions, from shops and restaurants to submarine dives to view the famous reefs and undersea life surrounding the island.

Key West America’s southernmost city, Key West has a colorful history. Today it is both stylish and funky, with something for everyone. Old Town, the most charming part of Key West, is especially interesting with its many restaurants, shops, museums and art galleries.

Montego Bay This popular city is Jamaica’s second largest. Although much of Montego Bay looks new today, the city is actually over 200 years old! Strolling through the town center or the eastern (tourist) section, you can enjoy calypso music and sample a Jamaican specialty, such as jerk chicken. Driving east on the road to Rio Ochos, you will find beautiful beaches, luxury resorts and several of the island’s famous plantation houses.
