Eastern Caribbean Cruising

Perhaps the perfect combination of excitement and indulgence, your Eastern Caribbean cruise holiday can commence amid the fun and excitement of New York City before whisking you off across the Sargasso Sea to a very different pace of life. As you cross into the tropics you will start to see small green islands punctuating the deep blue sea, before arriving at the decadent and luxurious US Virgin Islands. Vibrant bouquets of bougainvillea spill down whitewashed walls and yachts bob in the harbour. Continue south to the white sands of St Maarten before going on to the paradise of St Lucia and then to vibrant Barbados. On board your Eastern Caribbean cruise you can indulge in spa treatments, dine in an array of delectable restaurants or just kick back and enjoy the warm Caribbean sunshine on deck.
