How to use this shortlist
For a US traveller, compare driving to a home port with a fly-cruise. For a UK traveller, include the transatlantic journey, luggage and transfers. The region label does not tell you how many full shore days the itinerary provides.
Confirm before booking
Check each island or territory’s official entry advice, excursion return requirements and the weather context for your dates. Avoid treating one destination’s rules as Caribbean-wide.
