There are more reasons to cruise the Caribbean Sea than there are islands in it. Among those reasons are powder-soft beaches framed by swaying palms, unique cultures with lip-smacking cuisine, crystal-clear water packed with rainbow-sparkling fish and mysterious sunken ships, lively rainforests filled with hidden waterfalls and massive mountains made for hiking. Many cruise lines will help you island-hop with ease, but only Holland America Line® takes you to nearby island favorites as well as far-off countries (including their private-island paradise, RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay™), all while providing the best service at sea, spacious staterooms, fine dining and enriching activities on perfectly sized ships.
A Holland America Caribbean cruise blends tropical variety, cultural richness and effortless exploration in a way no other vacation really matches. You wake up each morning in a completely different world — one day turquoise water and white-sand beaches, the next day lush mountains, colonial towns and vibrant markets. And you do it all on ships that provide you with more space at the rail, diverse dining, quiet retreats, fun spaces for all ages and 150+ years of exceptional service experience.

Dozens of Caribbean Itineraries to Choose From
Holland America offers a multitude of itineraries across the islands, giving you many ways to visit the destinations of your dreams. Embark on an Eastern Caribbean cruise to visit Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas or the Dominican Republic. On a Western Caribbean cruise, you can sink your toes into the sand in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and laid-back Cozumel in Mexico.
