Caribbean cruises are as popular now as they have always been, especially for those seeking some winter sun escape from a gloomy and cold UK. The islands offer something for everyone and with a variety of itineraries taking in the east, south and west, there’s something out there for everyone. Numerous cruise lines offer sailings of between 4 and 14 nights as standard, but there are also a few that offer longer no-fly options from UK ports, including Southampton. If embarking on a cruise ship overseas for your Caribbean sailing, the most popular embarkation ports include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Barbados, and New York – making a cruise and land stay another option.
