Southern Caribbean Cruise

Saint John's, the vibrant capital of Antigua and Barbuda, is a captivating destination known for its colorful colonial architecture. The city offers visitors a charming mix of history, culture, and natural beauty. A must-see landmark is the stunning St. John's Cathedral, an iconic structure built in the 19th century, which offers visitors a glimpse into the island’s religious heritage. The city is also home to the bustling Heritage Quay, a popular shopping district where tourists can find everything from luxury items to local handicrafts. There visitors can bask in the lively atmosphere, peruse local markets offering fresh produce and seafood, and enjoy waterfront dining with views of the harbor.

One of the most enticing aspects of Saint John is its proximity to some of the island’s most stunning beaches. With 365 beaches to choose from, there’s a perfect spot for every type of beachgoer. Dickenson Bay, known for its white sandy shores and crystal-clear waters, is a favorite among visitors. The city’s vibrant atmosphere, combined with its natural beauty and historical charm, makes it a must-visit destination in the Caribbean.

A former English colonial stronghold, Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, will entice you with its unique Bajan flair and centuries-old English style architecture. This Caribbean haven, a favorite for Caribbean cruise-goers, offers plenty of adventurous and tropical excursions that will surely entertain you! Beachside attractions are a must – hop on a catamaran to go snorkeling offshore, plunge the ocean depths in a local submarine, or unwind on the sands of Carlisle Bay. Explore the historical remnants of Bridgetown’s English occupation, including St. Michael’s Cathedral, the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill, Arlington House Museum, and Chamberlain Bridge. Better yet, sample the island’s best rums made from local sugarcane at St. Nicholas Abbey or Mount Gay Rum. Delight in Barbados’s natural wonders at Harrison’s Cave, the cavernous limestone grotto concealing striking calcite deposits and warm waters. Stroll the verdant walkways replete with hundreds of blooming flowers at Hunte’s Gardens or the Andromeda Botanic Gardens.

From spectacular beaches, to impressive monuments, to electrifying nightlife, San Juan, Puerto Rico is bursting with historical and cultural attractions that are sure to inspire and exhilarate.

A former Spanish colony established by explorer Ponce de León, San Juan is replete with monuments dating back to the sixteenth century. Originally built to fortify the Spanish military against attacks from native Taíno peoples and rival European colonial powers, both the Castillo San Cristóbal and Castillo San Felipe del Morro fortresses are popular sites for educational tours detailing the island’s extensive colonial history. These expansive bastions sit on San Juan’s rocky seaside cliffs and offer spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.

San Juan’s many beaches beckon you! Relax with warm sands, snorkel in glittering turquoise waters, and marvel at vast lines of palm trees on Condado Beach, Ocean Park Beach, Carolina Beach, and a host of other coastal havens. Better yet, go for a nighttime boat ride in one of Puerto Rico’s three bio-luminescent bays, Laguna Grande, where dinoflagellates illuminate the water in hues of neon aqua. The city’s nearby natural parks and ecological wonders are equally worth a visit, including the limestone caves of Cueva Ventana and the lush tropical ecosystem of El Yunque National Rainforest.

Your stay in San Juan won’t be complete without experiencing the city’s thrilling nightlife scene. San Juan boasts a number of bars, breweries, and dance clubs with delicious cocktails and mouthwatering (and authentically Puerto Rican!) culinary creations. Sip on the sweet coconut flavor of a classic piña colada, a Puerto Rico original, or sample some mofongo, a staple dish made of chicharrón and fried plantain.

Unwind in this vibrant Caribbean capital and let San Juan regale you with its many charms!
