Caribbean Cruises

Caribbean cruises are one of the most popular forms of lifestyle travel, offering the opportunity to visit multiple destinations while enjoying the social atmosphere of a floating lifestyle resort. Lifestyle cruise companies charter mainstream cruise ships for their guests, providing all the amenities of a luxury cruise combined with lifestyle-specific programming and events.

The Caribbean is the most popular region for lifestyle cruises, with itineraries typically visiting islands including Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Belize, and various Eastern Caribbean destinations. The warm weather, beautiful scenery, and variety of ports make the Caribbean an ideal setting for a lifestyle cruise.

Most lifestyle Caribbean cruises depart from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or other Florida ports, making them easily accessible from major Canadian cities via connecting flights.

Best time to cruise: November through April offers the best weather and avoids hurricane season. December and January are particularly popular.

Getting there: Most Caribbean lifestyle cruises depart from Miami (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL). Direct flights from Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver are available.

Practicalities: A valid passport is required for Caribbean cruises. Travel insurance is strongly recommended. Most cruise lines require guests to be 21 or older.
