Southern Caribbean cruises often sail from Puerto Rico or Miami toward the Windward Islands. These islands are made up largely of Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent. Grenada and the Grenadines. The Southern Caribbean also stretches to include Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire.

Visitors to the Southern Caribbean are fiercely loyal. Once you’ve been, we can almost guarantee you’ll be back. Unique charm, unbelievable snorkeling and diving opportunities, fascinating cultures, passionate, friendly people – ingredients for a fantastic cruise! Southern Caribbean cruises are ideal for families, with beach escapes to the breathtaking beaches of St. Johns, Antigua (such as those offered on Royal Caribbean International’s Southern Caribbean cruise); their faces will light up when they see a whale or dolphin, like they can off the coast of St. Vincents (Cunard offers a superb whale and dolphin watching tour and often offer a discounted excursion rate for kids).

A journey to the Southern Caribbean is guaranteed to rid you of the stresses of the daily grind. Imagine if you were whisked away for a 12-day South Caribbean cruise, complete with champagne, 5-star dining in a casual and approachable setting, like you might experience on Azamara Cruises. Tranquility only begins to tell the story!

- Feeling ambitious on your cruise to the Southern Caribbean? If the beautiful island of Dominica is included in your itinerary, check out the Layou Gorge River Tubing or hike to Trafalgar Falls and have a swim beneath the 50-foot waterfall.
