No there is in fact a whole more to the Caribbean than the trip on the cruise liner.

So what are the more appealing locations to go and visit when you disembark. Well, this really depends on the package that you select but here is a selection of some of the more popular ports of call which most cruise liners include in their route

Jamaica - biggest island in the Greater Antilles as well as the largest English speaking island in the Caribbean. Tropical island with hot and humid weather with the famous Blue Mountains in the interior and a coast with dazzling white beaches. Each year many visitors head for Jamaica by every mode of transport including cruise ships but mostly by aeroplane. Montego Bay is a well known resort that is famous and attracts holiday makers all over the world with its beautiful big white beaches and many other distractions, not to mention the fact that this is where reggae music was born.

Yucatan Peninsula - part of Mexico this is one of the best of the non islands stop overs. It boasts busy beaches and a plethora of fun for all the family. Cancun is celebrated for its electric nightlife but if it is the underwater activities that you are really interested in, then Cozumel is the place to explore.

Virgin Islands: Group of small islands divided between between the US and United Kingdom, the Virgin Islands are one of the highlights of anyone's Caribbean cruise vacation.
