7-Night Caribbean (Southern) from La Romana

Most cruise passengers arriving at La Romana are headed somewhere else - Casa de Campo, the Caribbean's most exclusive resort complex, or Altos de Chavon, a replica Mediterranean village perched on a cliff above the Chavon River. Cruise ships dock at the Central Romana port, about a 10-minute drive from the Casa de Campo resort area.

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

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.

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.
