Introduction to the Bahamas
|
|
| |
It's easy to find reasons why more people take
cruises to the Bahamas and the Caribbean than anywhere else in the world. A warm
climate; an astounding array of ports of call, each with its own distinctive
character and appeal; thousands of beaches, including some of the world's best;
great shopping at duty free prices; and incredibly clear seas teeming with
marine life make this part of the world a perfect cruise vacation destination.
There's much more to this region stretching from south Florida to South America
than sun, sand and surf. No other destination presents so many choices of cruise
itineraries and lengths, with anything from a two-night getaway to an extended
voyage sailing from ports from New York to Central America. In fact, it is so
vast and diverse that it really constitutes three separate areas, traditionally
defined as Eastern Caribbean/The Bahamas, Western Caribbean and Southern
Caribbean. A typical weeklong cruise allows vacationers to sample these varied
cultures, history and peoples at four or five different ports. Each port call
opens the door to a new slice of paradise, where you might discover traces of
France or Britain or the Netherlands or Spain woven into the distinctive pace
and style of the regions many individual nations. Although a year-round cruise
destination the strong appeal of the Caribbean and The Bahamas for family cruise
vacations make school holiday periods among the busiest times of year. Those
looking for the best values in a cruise to the Caribbean and The Bahamas should
check sailing dates in January, late spring or September through early December. |
