Caribbean Sea

Popular Caribbean ports

Cozumel, Mexico

Known as a superb diving destination, Cozumel is a popular Caribbean port with lagoons, reefs, a national park and a wildlife sanctuary. Swim with dolphins here or take an excursion to the ruins left behind by the legendary Maya civilisation.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Discover two worlds: Old San Juan, a charming colonial town with cobbled streets, colourful houses and a vibrant culture, and New San Juan, a thriving metropolis with luxury beachfront hotels, lively nightlife and first-class cuisine.

Belize City, Belize

The former capital of Belize is brimming with opportunities for adventure – from jungle excursions and river tubing to climbing El Castillo, one of the tallest Maya structures in Belize. When you have had enough adrenaline, head to the markets to taste local produce or buy some handmade crafts.

When to go

Conditions for visiting the Caribbean are favourable more or less all year round, which is why many ships never leave the region at all. In general, the busiest period here is from December to April, when humidity and temperatures are slightly lower. From August to October the Caribbean has its hurricane season, so some ships leave the region in April and return in November. But if you want to escape the winter, you basically can’t go wrong with this destination.
