14 Night Caribbean - Southern Cruise

Barbados cruise port is in Bridgetown, the capital of the easternmost Caribbean island. Bridgetown Port (Deep Water Harbour) sits just outside the city's UNESCO-listed historic center, with modern terminal facilities including 21 duty-free shops, restaurants, car rental agencies, and a tourism office.

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.

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. Maarten cruise port is one of the busiest in the Caribbean, with ships docking at the A.C.

St. John's is the capital and main cruise port of Antigua, one of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean. The Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay cruise terminals sit in the heart of St. John's, directly adjacent to the duty-free shopping district.

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.
