With us, you can enjoy a blissful holiday of 7-35 nights to the Caribbean. So how long do you fancy? 

Pack as you would a regular summer holiday wardrobe; t-shirts, shorts, dresses, sunhats and sunglasses, flip-flops and water shoes. As the Caribbean islands are made for outdoor adventures, a comfy pair of walking shoes is recommended too.  

Please also ensure you have sufficient items in your hand luggage if flying directly into Barbados / Antigua (for example, medication or fresh set of clothes) as luggage may not be delivered to your cabin until late in the evening and you may wish to enjoy the ships facilities prior to your luggage arrival.
