Reservations 877-477-8590 | Mention Discount Code: HBC3944Most Caribbean cruises range from 3 – 7 or 10 nights. Longer cruises often combine Caribbean port calls with stops in Mexico, Central or South America. Cruises can begin or end in the Caribbean as lines move ships to the Caribbean seasonally. Your budget is one factor in how long you cruise; another is how long you enjoy being at sea.
You can explore a Caribbean cruise port on your own or with a shore excursion booked with your cruise line. Some ports, like St. Maarten offer easy access to town and beaches, while others are remote and require ground transport. Group tours are available and can easily be arranged, but can be crowded. Some find planning their own island excursions more rewarding, as they get away from the touristy areas and experience the real island culture. Here are 5 Caribbean Shore Excursion Picks!
