Caribbean Cruises

Southern Caribbean cruises are readily available but because the Southern Caribbean is located farther away than the Eastern and Western Caribbean it means that the journey is going to take longer. This in turn means that you will need to plan for longer vacations. To cut time, it makes sense to fly down to San Juan in Puerto Rico or to Aruba and even to Barbados and then take your southern Caribbean cruises from there.

There are several destinations that are favorites among different kinds of cruise vacationers and each destination is unique and offers a different glimpse of life. Most major cruise line companies have their own selection of southern Caribbean cruises that you can pick and choose from.

Aruba

Aruba is a destination that is very popular among those who are looking to enjoy life on the beach or who want to experience a great casino outing. If you are planning on taking your southern Caribbean cruises to Aruba, you will want to check out its natural beauty and wonderful spots including those such as the Natural Bridge and Butterfly Farm as well as Aloe Balm factory.

St. Lucia

St. Lucia is another popular destination among those who are going to take a southern Caribbean cruise. This island has famous landmarks which is why it pays to take tours that will take you to these landmarks which are known as the Pitons. All kinds of people can take these cruises and there is also plenty of options available for kids. Some of the highlights of St. Lucia include a chance to take in a volcano and there are many waterfalls as well as options to go snorkeling on a catamaran.

Barbados

Barbados is another popular destination for those who are planning on taking southern Caribbean cruises. Such cruises are however not always suitable for the elderly or for kids because there is a lot of walking to do and not enough to provide excitement for children.

Seven nights Seabourn Caribbean Cruise

A seven night Southern Caribbean cruise on board the Seabourne Legend can prove to be an experience of a lifetime. Southern Caribbean cruises are known to frequent various places including the Virgin Islands and St. Lucia as well as Antigua and Dominica and of course Aruba and Barbados. These cruises offer a chance to experience a unique culture that has traces of British, Dutch and French cultural influences.

The best time to take southern Caribbean cruises is during the spring and summer as well as winter which are when the weather is most dry. Once in these parts, you can shop at duty free outlets in St. Thomas or climb volcanoes on St. Lucia and of course Barbados offers many opportunities to sample the best rum in the world.

There are several southern Caribbean cruises available that depart from various locations including Barbados, San Juan in Puerto Rico as well as from Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
