Caribbean Cruises

The first island discovered by Columbus more than five hundred years ago was named San Salvador in honor of the Savior. Thus, Columbus became the first European to set foot on the land of the Bahamas. However, don’t try to find San Salvador among the Bahamian islands today — it is no longer there, and geographers are still debating which island the lookout on the flagship actually saw.

Caribbean cruises are always a celebration. They are about sea and sunshine, salty winds and sails, and picturesque colonial-style houses. This is because the first thing Europeans did when they reached the warm Caribbean waters was divide the islands among themselves. One island belonged to the French crown, another to the British, this one to Spain—Spanish forever—and that one to Portugal. Later, everything began to change with kaleidoscopic speed. The islands became increasingly difficult to divide, and in the end their number was limited, so they began to be governed jointly.

After Columbus’s voyages, the discovery of America, and the conquest of Mexico, only a couple of centuries passed before the Caribbean became a land of colonists and enslaved people. At the same time, harsh and ruthless seafarers appeared on the stage of history—men whose very names struck fear into law-abiding citizens: Francis Drake and William Morgan, Henry Every and William Kidd. The Caribbean Sea—warm, vast, and crossed by merchant and warships—became their domain. Like wolves among flocks of sheep, they plundered and sank gold-laden galleons, capturing trading vessels. And of course, they hid treasures and built forts and strongholds. Today, inquisitive archaeologists study the remains of pirate fortifications on the main island of these sea raiders—Tortuga—while the public watches yet another episode of *Pirates of the Caribbean*.

But the Caribbean islands are not only about pirates, rum, and seashells… Traveling through the Caribbean is a glimpse into colonial Europe as it was three hundred years ago. Quite simply because on every colonized island, Europeans built cities and ports. And here they are: “little Holland,” “little France,” and so on. Everything here is fascinating—from the harbor where the cruise ship docks to the narrow streets, local markets, and the city cathedral.

And of course, a Caribbean cruise also means a unique marine world: sea stars and stingrays, brightly colored fish… The Caribbean is an excursion into the realm of the most exotic marine life found anywhere on Earth.

Caribbean cruises are offered on the finest liners of Princess Cruises — Caribbean Princess 5* lux, Crown Princess 5* lux, and of course, the newest flagships — Royal Princess 5* lux and Regal Princess 5* lux. The Caribbean is the domain of the world’s largest cruise companies, which is why cruises in the Caribbean are always available at very reasonable prices. A standard cruise lasts 8 days, but trips can be extended to 10 days, two weeks, or combined with a Panama Canal journey. This type of cruise is aptly called "Caribbean & Panama Canal." Notably, only ships under 100,000 tons can pass through the Panama Canal. Princess Cruises operates two ships specially designed for such cruises: Coral Princess 5* and Island Princess 5*. Panama Canal cruises are particularly appealing because they offer a glimpse of Central America and a chance to enjoy the world’s finest coffee — Costa Rican coffee.

Almost all Caribbean cruises depart from Miami, at the Port of Fort Lauderdale. This means you can explore more of the United States before or after boarding the ship, or spend a few days relaxing on beautiful beaches. A Caribbean cruise thus becomes part of a larger journey, where you design your route together with your travel agent.
