Cruise the Caribbean on your Honeymoon
By: Jacqueline Wild | Posted: 20th May 2008
Picture gathering your family to your ceremony in a port town, and as the evening draws to a close, stepping onto a cruise ship with your new spouse and sailing off to the Caribbean.
The Cruise
The Caribbean honeymoon cruise is a one of the most romantic experiences you can have. With over 7,000 islands, expect to be hopping from one island to the next and witnessing some of the most breathtaking vistas you will have ever encountered.
The most popular islands provide every amenity, and the Caribbean is renowned for leaving guests feeling especially pampered. Outdoor activities are varied, including scuba diving and snorkelling in gorgeous waters and parachuting over amazing scenery.
The Islands
The most popular islands are Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. The costs are lower than some of the other islands and they are 'tourist-ready'.
Jamaica
Jamaica is visited by over 1 million tourist each year, and its not hard to see why. Montego Bay, the second largest city in Jamaica, with its backdrop of rising mountains is a centre of shopping and dining. Ocho Ross, the 'cruise' capital is sheltered by lush mountains and harboured by reefs. Swing by Treasure Beach and witness the spectacular views from Lover's Leap.
The Dominican Republic
The heart of the Dominican Republic lies in its mix of music, food and national pastimes. It is a place of colour and art, fine-rolled cigars and golf - one of the courses was designed by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus. The Dominican Republic's warm-water beaches are considered some of the finest in the world.
St Lucia
St Lucia, with its 'drive-in' volcano and sulphur springs, offers some of the most beautiful, unspoilt views. St Lucia has a variety of wonderful beaches - some are easily accessible, while others are available only to adventurous 4-wheel drivers.
Martinique
Martinique, also known as The Isle of Flowers, is the 'Rum capital of the world', and with its cocktail mix of the Caribbean and France, is one of the most alluring destinations in the world. Diamond Rock, a 600 ft pinnacle in the sea was registered by the British Navy as a warship in 1804. Two regular, alternating wind currents cool the atmosphere of Martinique leaving a wonderful breeze that takes down the heat of the sun.
Wherever you go on your Caribbean honeymoon, you will not quickly tire of the laid back beauty of the Caribbean, and you and your spouse will return home feeling refreshed and enlivened.
