No one knows the Caribbean better than we do. After all, it is our middle name. And when it comes to beautiful beaches and sparkling blue waters, the Caribbean really is in a league of its own. There are countless adventures within reach on your cruise holiday. Get up close and personal with stingrays in Grand Cayman. Compete in an actual race on one of New Zealand's former America's Cup yachts in the Bahamas. Plus, there's the El Yunque Rain Forest in Puerto Rico, Christoffel National Park in Cura?ao, and the Mayan Ruins in Cozumel, to name but a few.

What to Pack
Days on board are relaxed and you'll be most comfortable in sports/casual wear. Shoes should be low-heeled for deck activities. Bring a few swimsuits so you'll always have a dry one. You don't have to bring towels, as they are provided. But don't forget your camera and binoculars, so you don't miss a thing.
For evening wear, you'll need three main types of attire:
Casual: Dresses or trousers and blouses for women, casual shirts and trousers for men
Smart Casual: Dresses or trouser suits for women, jackets for men
Formal: Cocktail dresses for women, suits and ties or tuxedos for men (you can arrange to hire a tuxedo on board).
Ashore, you'll need comfortable walking shoes as well as a hat and suntan lotion for protection from the sun.
