7-Night Pacific Coast from San Juan

San Juan cruise port is one of the busiest in the Caribbean and one of the few that doubles as both a major embarkation point and a popular port of call. The port sits in Old San Juan, the historic colonial core of Puerto Rico's capital, founded by Spanish colonists in 1521.

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.

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.

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