If you are looking for an “off the beaten path” kind of cruise that still has plenty of sunshine and warm weather, then a Southern Caribbean cruise might be for you. The Southern Caribbean is a popular cruise destination among veteran cruisers who have seen most of the world and are looking for an interesting mix of tropical charm and culture without a large crowd. Many cruise ships visit there each year. Large ocean liners will usually take you to islands whose tourism infrastructure has been well developed. Small ship cruise lines tend to offer itineraries that focus on a balance of developed ports and smaller, less known islands.
In the cruising world the Caribbean is divided into three regions: Eastern Caribbean, Southern Caribbean and Western Caribbean. The Southern Caribbean includes Antigua, Aruba, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, and Martinique. Whether it’s hiking and exploring ancient ruins, snorkeling on a white-sand beach, chasing waterfalls, or shopping local markets, you’re certain to have an experience like none other.
One of the best aspects of a Southern Caribbean cruise is that if you live near a major U.S. cruise port, you can easily depart from a city near your home. There are Caribbean cruises that depart from New York City, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Charleston, and Boston. Another great aspect of Southern Caribbean cruises is that they can be found in a wide range of lengths, from short 5-night cruises to longer 14-night itineraries, so there's something to fit just about anyone's vacation schedule.
American Discount Vacations is proud to offer the best deals possible on all Southern Caribbean cruises booked with us. Backed by our "Low Price Guarantee," and powered by our team of expert travel agents, we're sure to exceed your expectations when booking your next Southern Caribbean cruise!
Highlighted Southern Caribbean Cruise Attractions
The following are just a few of the many things to do while in the Southern Caribbean:
Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach is one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in Aruba. You may recognize the famous fofoti trees that are located on this beach, which have been highly popularized by photographers. If you visit during the weekend, you might be able to catch a glimpse of tennis players playing a rousing game right in the white sand. This serene beach is a perfect spot for families and provides plenty of opportunity to swim, snorkel, and tan, as well as relax in the shade or in a beach hut. Keep your eyes peeled for turtle nests, which are a common finding on this beach.
Trafalgar Falls
Trafalgar Falls is a huge twin waterfall (125 and 75 feet respectively) that is certain to enchant any nature-lovers. Real adrenaline junkies will jump at the opportunity to swim beneath the smaller of the two falls, while more reserved adventurers might enjoy taking a dip in the hot springs. There is also a viewing platform for those who prefer to stay dry.
Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park
This unique attraction is a collection of underwater art off the west coast of Grenada. There is a total of over 65 works in the park, which you can access via boat from St Georges or from Grand Anse Bay. You can view the sculptures by snorkeling, riding a glass-bottom boat, or scuba diving. If you are looking for something different than the typical shore excursions you are used to, this is worth a trip!
