Carnival Pride: 14-Night Journeys - Southern Caribbean

Baltimore is a mid-Atlantic port city of about 575,000 people on the Patapsco River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. The cruise terminal at the South Locust Point Marine Terminal sits about 3 miles from the Inner Harbor, the waterfront district that defines modern Baltimore with its aquarium, museums, and restaurant row.

St. Thomas cruise port is one of the busiest stops on Eastern Caribbean itineraries and the hub of the US Virgin Islands cruise scene. The port handles two main cruise terminals.

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

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.

Aruba's capital sits just 15 miles off the Venezuelan coast, and it's one of the southern Caribbean's most popular cruise stops for good reason. Five berths across three air-conditioned terminals handle up to five ships at once, with water depths of 32 to 36 feet.

You've probably seen photos of Willemstad even if you don't realize it: that row of pastel-colored Dutch colonial buildings along the Handelskade is one of the most photographed waterfronts in the Caribbean. It's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

Grand Turk is a small, flat island of about 4,000 residents and the capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas. Carnival Corporation built a dedicated cruise center on the island's south end, and the vast majority of cruise traffic comes from Carnival Cruise Line ships on Eastern Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries.
