The Caribbean is renowned as the Mecca of the seas for cruise lines, boasting recognizable white sands, sparkling blue waters, and a tropical climate that shouts “winter sun” from December to April. And it’s easy to understand why.
Discovering the vast number of palm-fringed islands in the Caribbean Sea on a multi-port voyage maximizes your experiences and offers up a number of sun-drenched locations, such as Barbados, Antigua, and St. Lucia.
When docked at any of the Caribbean’s serene tropics, expansive floating hotels—often all-inclusive havens of carefree luxury with everything included—promise indulgent fine dining, enrichment for all ages with theatre shows and waterparks, and a liberating choice of excursions like volcano hikes, scuba diving, and zip lining.
Here is our list of the top Caribbean cruise vacations to book right away, from big transatlantic trips over the holidays to adult-only excursions and short island hopping trips, whether you’re looking for a last-minute vacation to extend summer 2023 or to score a winter sun deal for 2024.
