About the cruise

This fantastic month-long Caribbean adventure with Azura, is a wonderful alternative to spending a traditional Christmas and New Year at home. Swapping the busy run-up to the festive season for sunshine, sights and relaxation – this will be one of the best presents you’ll ever treat yourself to.

After flying out to meet Azura in Barbados, you set sail for Antigua – an island blessed with over 365 enticing beaches. After a day in port here, you head for St. Kitts. Although only 65 square miles in size it offers everything from idyllic bays to sleepy villages, lush rainforests, and historic sights. In the duty-free haven of St. Thomas, you can take a cable car up to Paradise Point for stunning views down to Charlotte Amalie.

Next you can explore Nicaragua’s San Juan, where the pure white sand beach stretches for more than two miles. And it is from here that you begin a four port tour of the USA, beginning in Port Canaveral – for tours to Orlando, and Port Everglades, your entrance to the vibrant beach resort of Miami. Bohemian Key West and culturally rich New Orleans – where you can spend two days in port – follow.

Affluent and picturesque Grand Cayman is your next stop, before you reach Jamaica’s Montego Bay. Visit one of the famous colonial houses to discover its interesting past. On Catalina Island you can soak up the sunshine and sip a rum punch or two. And from Tortola you can explore the unique nearby island of Virgin Gordawith, with its unusual volcanic rock formations.

After St. Lucia’s breathtaking Marigot Bay, St. Maarten’s quirky French/Dutch divide, Dominica’s lush, tropical vistas and Grenada’s pretty natural harbour, you cruise back to Barbados to fly home.
