10 Night Fort Laudedale To San Juan

Fort Lauderdale cruise port, officially Port Everglades, is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world and the closest major competitor to PortMiami, just 25 miles to the south. It sits on the southeastern coast of Florida across the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.

Tortola is the largest of the British Virgin Islands, a mountainous, lush Caribbean island where Road Town serves as the capital of this British Overseas Territory. The cruise port at Road Town Pier Park handles two large ships simultaneously (up to 180,000 GT).

Pointe-a-Pitre is the economic capital of Guadeloupe, a French overseas department in the Lesser Antilles that gives you Caribbean beaches with French culture, cuisine, and infrastructure. The archipelago consists of two main islands shaped like a butterfly: Grande-Terre (flat, with beaches and sugar cane) and Basse-Terre (mountainous, with rainforest and a live volcano).

St. Lucia is one of the Caribbean's most topographically dramatic islands, defined by the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons rising sharply from the southwestern coast. The Castries cruise port sits on the island's northwest side, with ships docking at either Pointe Seraphine (a duty-free shopping complex within walking distance of downtown Castries) or the La Place Carenage terminal on the opposite side of the harbor.

Martinique gives you something most Caribbean ports can't: an actual piece of France in the tropics. This is a French overseas department, so the bakeries are real, the wine is good, and the Creole cuisine draws from both metropolitan French technique and Caribbean soul.

Basseterre cruise port in St. Kitts uses the Port Zante terminal, a purpose-built cruise facility in the heart of Basseterre, the capital of St. Kitts and Nevis. Port Zante includes two dedicated cruise piers capable of berthing the largest modern ships plus a marina, restaurants, shops, and the Amina Craft Market.
