Southern Caribbean Cruise 7 nätter • San Juan, Puerto Rico • Brilliance of the Seas

Cruises from San Juan are always special because they begin in a city that doubles as a top vacation destination. The vibrant capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan offers something for every traveler — world-famous beaches with crystal clear waters, incredible cuisine, rugged natural beauty and a rich history that goes back 500 years. With its ancient fortresses and colorful colonial-era buildings, San Juan makes it easy to feel as though you’ve slipped into the past. Life moves at a slower pace along the sunny cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, and salsa beats seem to waft perpetually from open windows. If you’re craving a hike, head to El Yunque National Forest. And if you’re more in the mood to unwind, set your sights on the beautiful shores of Isla Verde or El Condado. Mealtime is also an adventure, with so many delicious options to try — from mofongo and pastelon to chillo frito and alcapurrias. Pair every bite with a piña colada — Puerto Rico’s national drink.

Fartyget avgår exakt kl 8:00 em, så planera att anlända minst 2–3 timmar dessförinnan för ge tid för incheckning och ombordstigning. Under denna tid är många av fartygets bekvämligheter öppna och igång, så påbörja semestern tidigt om du vill.

Tortola blends British roots, West Indies flair and a colorful history built upon pirate lore. Explore the capital city of Road Town. Charter a boat for a scenic sail. Or take a ferry to the neighboring islands of Virgin Gorda, Anegada or Jost Van Dyke.

In the capital of St. John, you can peek into local craft shops or explore a centuries-old British naval base in Nelson’s Dockyard. If beachcombing is more your speed, choose from any of Antigua’s 365 beaches. The island offers the best of both worlds, from bustling markets and candy-colored colonial buildings to winding rainforest trails and hidden coves.

Known for its dramatic mountains and smoldering Mount Pelée volcano, Martinique’s landscape is unforgettable. Soak in the fast-paced vibe of cosmopolitan Fort-de-France while touring sites like Fort St. Louis and the Cathedrale St. Louis. Then slow things down outside of town with a snorkel session at Rocher du Diamant— from rainforest trails to stunning beaches, Martinique’s wild side offers it all.

There are so many things to do in Kingstown, St. Vincent — like exploring the centuries-old Fort Charlotte or strolling through the Grenadines Botanic Gardens. But it’s worth venturing out beyond the capital to experience some of the island’s more secluded wonders, like snorkeling the reefs off Indian Bay Beach or hiking the trails around Mount Soufrière.

Welcome to an island nation teeming with history and eco-tourism adventures. Explore colonial estates, monuments and fortresses in Basseterre. Gear up and climb Mount Liamuiga volcano or hop in a kayak to get up close with tropical reef fish. Or slow things down with a more laidback escape to the tiny sister island, Nevis, for a relaxing beach day.

Puerto Rico’s 500-year-old capital is a history buff’s dream come true. The Spanish settled this harbor as a New World home base, and that influence is still evident, from the fortress walls lining the coastline to the rainbow of colonial buildings along narrow streets. Venture further out from the old town and nature unfolds. You can scale high into the jungled mountains of El Yunque Forest, or keep to the foothills on a riverside horseback ride. If despacito is more your speed, pick a pristine beach and recline with codfish fritter and rum drink in hand. San Juan cruises give you the perfect outpost to dial up or dial down your vacation.
