Where to go!

Three regions comprise the Caribbean - Eastern, Western, and Southern. Characteristics of each include:

Getting There!

The Caribbean is accessible by air, and by sea. It is the most popular cruise region in the world. Each Cruise Line possess it's own atmosphere, therefore selecting a cruise line that matches your lifestyle improves the value of your Alaska Cruise Experience.

Preferred Accommodations!

Unlike cruises to Alaska and the Panama Canal, where your cruise experiecne offers an abundance of attractions while cruising between ports, Ocean-view Staterooms with balconies are a popular choice, but all Ocean-view staterooms provide great values on Caribbean cruises.

Regarding Land-based Resorts, All-inclusives are the growing trend, but its a personal choice to either pay for most of your vacation before departing (taking advantage of the economies of scale), or higher individual Ala carte costs during your vacation.
