Beyond the beautiful beaches and deep within the tropical jungle, are the Caribbean cruises waiting to astonish you.

Sail on a Western Caribbean cruise vacation and experience the mystery and intrigue of this once mighty civilization.


Galveston, Texas

There's something for everyone on the bustling island of Galveston, from the popular Moody Gardens theme park to a fascinating aquarium, 32 miles of beaches, The Strand Historical District, excellent shopping and more!

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

This sunny city isn't just your embarkation port; Ft. Lauderdale's a gateway to the famous Florida Everglades, the popular hot spot known as South Beach and spectacular shopping.

History & Culture

Ancient Mayan treasures blanket the Western Caribbean in captivating history, from the pyramids and temples at Altun Ha in Belize to the Island of Cozumel's legendary walled city of Tulum.

Natural Wonders

Take in the beauty and of underground caves on the Island of Cozumel or visit an iguana farm on the Island of Roatán – it's all within reach  on a Western Caribbean cruise.

Shore Excursions

Zip line through the Belize jungle, swim with the dolphins of Roatán, and snorkel or scuba dive off the Island of Cozumel or head out to sea for the famous sport fishing!

The rise, fall, and total disappearance of the Mayan culture has confounded and fascinated people for decades. Step into the shadows of this once great civilization.



The Caribbean Sea is the world's fifth largest body of water and is home to more than 7,000 islands. While you can't sail a major cruise ship to every nook and cranny of the Caribbean, you do have an abundance of choices when it comes to picking an itinerary.

Feeling overwhelmed? No worries, mon! I've pared down the cruise line's offerings to the top 10 Caribbean itineraries. This list will give you a sense of what the different voyages have to offer, and help you decide where you want to go on your next island cruise.

Western Caribbean

New to Caribbean cruising? The basic seven-night western Caribbean cruise is one of the best itineraries for first-timers. You can depart from a variety of homeports and get a mix of Central American and island ports, as well as days at sea. Princess' cruise on the Grand Princess departs from Ft. Lauderdale and calls at the quintessential western Caribbean ports of Jamaica; Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and Princess Cays (Princess' private island in the Bahamas). Activities range from snorkeling and scuba diving off Grand Cayman, exploring Mayan ruins in Mexico, and climbing a waterfall in Jamaica. Plus, you get two days at sea to enjoy the ship.

Royal Caribbean International

Given the name of this cruise line, guests are justified in expecting expertise when it comes to the Caribbean islands. Guests aboard one of the Royal Caribbean's luxury ships might spend a day communing with stingrays in Grand Cayman, exploring Puerto Rico's El Yunque Rainforest or discovering the Mayan ruins of Cozumel. Depending on the cruise you select, you might also find yourself in a paradise called Labadee. This exclusive, private Royal Caribbean destination features seven distinct neighborhoods where you can shop for local handicrafts or laze in a luxury cabana on the beach. After you've braved the longest zip line over water in the world or dived 800 feet below sea level in a research submarine, treat yourself to a signature Labaduzee frozen drink in a hammock beneath a shady tree.



It’s everything a tropical paradise should be: Turquoise waters teeming with colorful fish, lush jungles, exotic animals and amazing natural wonders. The locals are friendly, the shops bustling and the legends fascinating. Discover each Caribbean island’s own incredible story.



Depart Ft. Lauderdale on a Eastern Caribbean cruise vacation for 4 to 7 days, or even longer!  Discover charming colonial towns and coral reefs teeming with marine life in ports such as Antigua, St. Maarten as well as our tropical playground, Princess Cays®.


Marvel at Mayan ruins in places like Belize City and the Island of Cozumel or enjoy the natural splendors of Roatán – on a 4- to 7-day Western Caribbean cruise vacation roundtrip from Galveston, Texas or Ft. Lauderdale.


Breathtaking national parks, botanical gardens, and world-renowned beaches await you aboard 7- to 14-day Southern Caribbean cruise vacations from Ft. Lauderdale to islands such as Aruba, Dominica,  Grenada and our own Princess Cays®.
