To cruise the Western Caribbean is to witness an intoxicating mix of old, new, and everlasting. Ancient Mayan ruins rise up from the jungle floor, breaking the pristine beauty of the rainforest. White sand beaches and pristine azure waters stretch as far as the eye can see. And history and present day culture mix in vibrant fashion. Be sure to pack your sense of adventure, because on a Western Caribbean cruise, tropical jungles, breathtaking reefs and new personal connections abound in every port.

• Belize City
• Grand Cayman
• Ft. Lauderdale

Teeming with life and nestled among lush rainforests on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea, Belize City is an eco-adventurer's paradise. Take a relaxing inner tube ride down a river and through ancient caves once used for rituals by the Maya, ride horses through a stunning nature park with hundreds of species, and snorkel through the northern hemisphere's largest barrier reef on a cruise to Belize.

Cruise to Cozumel, once home to the Mayan moon goddess Ixchel, and you’ll see why this island feels so special. With its white-sand beaches, clear blue waters, vibrant coral reefs, and ancient Mayan ruins, Cozumel is one of the Caribbean's most exciting cruise destinations.

Whether you're about to embark, or sticking around for a few days at the end of your cruise, Galveston Island is a quaint city with historic charm where you'll get the feel for "island time." Explore Historic Pleasure Pier and enjoy some Texas foods, or visit the Moody Gardens with attractions like a world-class aquarium and living rainforest. Spend some time admiring the city’s museums, shopping its curated boutiques or strolling its colorful streets full of art and architecture.

Once home to pirates and scoundrels striking fear into all who sailed near, Grand Cayman now stands as one of the most prosperous islands in the entire Caribbean. Cruise to Grand Cayman to meet sea turtles and stingrays in their natural habitats, snorkel through breathtaking shipwrecks and stroll through the capital of Georgetown for world-class dining, shopping and historic architecture.

Surrounded by some of the most vibrant, healthy coral reefs of the Caribbean and filled with Bermudan-British history, Grand Turks is a rich island destination for anyone looking for the complete Caribbean cruise experience. Explore the nearby Gibb's Cay and swim with stingrays, discover the vibrant history of the island from 700 A.D. to today, or explore the beauty of the island from a dune buggy.

Sitting atop an ancient coral reef system, surrounded by gorgeous crystal blue waters and featuring a lush tropical environment, the island of Roátan looks every bit the Caribbean wonderland. Visit the local iguana farm with over 3,000 iguanas roaming the grounds, snorkel and dive the pristine local reefs or sunken ships and Mayan artifacts, or just sit on the picture-perfect beach and relax without a care in the world.

The "Venice of America" has been the premier destination among spring breakers for almost six decades, but don't let that fool you into thinking the city is one big party. From the Everglades, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to an amazingly rich biosphere, to seven miles of white-sand beaches, Ft.

George Town, Cayman Islands

A cruise to the Cayman Islands has everything you would want from a Caribbean destination—warm breezes, clear seas and a laid-back attitude—but the archipelago also has something you might not expect: an exciting culinary scene. Between the celebrity chefs who’ve set up shop on Grand Cayman and the 135 or so resident nationalities that have helped season the island’s giant melting pot, this is, hands down, one of the best places to eat in the Caribbean. In and around George Town, the Cayman Islands' capital, you’ll find such an amazing array of culinary offerings, you’ll fear for the future of any buttons, snaps or hooks on your waistband.

And that’s where the island’s other chief pleasures come in: There’s enough walking (whether along the fabled Seven Mile Beach, around historic sites or through lush gardens) as well as stunning swimming, snorkeling and diving to be done to counter the effects of . . . So. Much. Good. Food. Or at least you can begin to. Oh, and one warning: Should you wind up at Rum Point—Grand Cayman’s castaway beach imago—there’s a good chance your ship is, by your own design, sailing without you. Regardless of what you do, our Cayman Islands cruises are sure to have something relaxing and enjoyable for you to experience and remember.
