Enjoy Winter Sun On A Caribbean Cruise
With Christmas and New Year firmly behind you, why not consider booking a cruise to get you through the long winter months? The Caribbean, with year-round sunshine, sandy beaches and turquoise waters, is the perfect winter sun destination. You needn't just stick to the one island, cruise ships are the best way to ensure that you explore a lot more of the area. The following are some of the highlights of a typical Caribbean cruise:
Miami
Many Caribbean cruises depart from Florida and Miami is a popular destination to embark from. How about flying into the city a few days before your cruise starts, so that you have time to explore this interesting city? South Beach is Miami’s happening hot-spot and the area is buzzing with bars, nightclubs and fashionable boutiques. The Miami Design Preservation League runs tours of Miami's art-deco buildings every Saturday morning at 1030am.
Roatan
Once you've left Miami, you'll probably next touch land again on the beach of Roatan. This island, located off the coast of Honduras has spectacular beaches and there are numerous operators that offer guided tours to passengers of cruise ships. The island is abundant in wildlife and you can visit The Sherman Arch Iguana Park and the Monkey Park, where you purchase a souvenir photograph of you cuddling a cheeky chimp. Thrill-seekers may want to take a zip-tour through the rainforest canopies of the island? Alternatively, you could visit some of the island's main attractions on a leisurely horse-back ride.
Costa Maya
At the Costa Mayan coast in Mexico, Mayan ruins await. Dating back to 200BC, the Kohunlich is incredibly well-preserved. Situated in the jungles that surround the Belize border, the ruins consist of three 3 public plazas, 3 palaces and 3 residential areas. After you've explored the area, reward yourself with a refreshing dip in Cenote Azul in Balacar or just head back to the main resort for activities that include scuba diving, Tequila Beach Clubs and swimming with dolphins.
