Western Caribbean Cruises

Western Caribbean cruises go to Cozumel, Costa Maya, the Cayman Islands and other exotic ports. You might visit ancient Mayan ruins or just soak up the sun on a Gulf of Mexico beach. The fun really cranks up at night. Take a western Caribbean cruise to get away from it all.

The popular western Caribbean cruise destinations of Cozumel, Costa Maya and Playa del Carmen are on the coast of Mexico. They're on the Yucatan Peninsula which means the ruins of Mayan cities and temples are nearby. Cozumel is actually an island but it's not too far from the ruins at Tulum and Chichen-Itza. The wild nightlife, diving and shopping for silver jewelry are other attractions.

At the Cayman Islands, many cruises stop at Grand Cayman. The island is flat, but the coral reefs are excellent. At Stingray City scores of tame stingrays swim around visiting snorkelers. They suck food right out of your hand! Seven Mile Beach has sparkling white sand.

Western Caribbean cruises from Tampa are offered by Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America Cruises. The lines offer a variety of prices and itineraries.

No matter where your western Caribbean cruise takes you, you're likely to have a very good time. It's a great escape in the cold weather months.
