Picture the Caribbean. Soft sandy beaches, warm winds blowing through palm trees and crystal-clear waters stretching as far as the eye can see. That's the Eastern Caribbean cruise experience. But that's just the start. After a morning swimming, snorkeling or sailing, an entire world awaits on land. Vibrant cultures, rich histories and oh-so-many spots to shop. Dive in; the Caribbean is waiting.

What will you do on an Eastern Caribbean cruise?

Island time. Beach time. You time. There's no one correct way to pass the days in the Eastern Caribbean.

Island shore excursions

Experience the best an Eastern Caribbean Cruise has to offer with award-winning shore excursions that immerse you in thrilling experiences, unique culinary delights and peaceful rejuvenation. Sail on a tall ship at sunset, snorkel with vibrant sea life through teeming reefs, and explore old shipwrecks near the picturesque coastlines.

Late night departures

The Caribbean has a different feeling at night. Revel in its warm evenings and enticing music with our More Ashore program. Later stays in ports such as St. Thomas and Barbados let you soak up the full Caribbean experience, like a fresh-caught seafood dinner on the beach or street fair full of local crafts and flavors. With More Ashore, you get more time to enjoy the vibrant island nightlife.
