"Caribbean" is a common and all-inclusive term for a delightful series of islands that stretches from the Bahamas to the north coast of South America. It embraces a fascinating variety of cultures and influences, all rooted in the rich heritage of these windswept islands. Alternately governed by British, French, Dutch, Spanish and Americans, you will find bustling cities, busy local markets, beautiful beaches and ancient fortresses of conquerors long forgotten. One of the major attractions of the Caribbean is that all this diversity is conveniently located near the customary jumping-off point of Miami. These islands are popular for cruises lines, resort destinations, and barefoot sailing excursions.

When traveling to the Caribbean, the tourist should explore the options compared to the goals for the vacation. Each island or group of island destinations offers differing degrees of recreation, nightlife, dining and shopping experiences. Gratefully, every one offers lush natural beauty and relaxed island ambience. If you want pampered care and lots of variety, a cruise may be for you. If you just want the ocean to lull your cares away and are in no hurry, a "barefoot" sailing expedition , or one of the smaller islands might be the option! Some islands offer great diving and snorkeling and if that is your priority, our network of experienced Caribbean dive-travel agents can make the appropriate recommendations to the right location.
