Eastern Caribbean Port Guides

San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten and the classic eastern run — plus Bermuda and Freeport, the frequent flyers of every itinerary. Every guide uses the same Good / Better / Best framework: decide before you disembark.

Antigua

A beach for every day of the year — 365 of them. English Harbour is the history stop worth the drive.

View Guide

Bermuda

Pink sand and proper manners. Not technically the Caribbean — and that's the point. Most ships stay overnight; plan like it.

View Guide

Freeport

Grand Bahama's working port. Manage expectations, pick the right beach, and it earns its stop.

View Guide

Grand Turk

Small island, big beach right at the pier. Walk off the ship and your toes are in the sand in ten minutes.

View Guide

Nassau

Not a difficult port. It simply requires a decision. Atlantis, Baha Mar, Cable Beach, or stay onboard. Pick one and commit.

View Guide

Puerto Plata

The Dominican north coast, rebuilt for cruisers. Ride the cable car up Mount Isabel and pack the view.

View Guide

San Juan

The port is the destination. Old San Juan's forts and blue cobblestones start steps from the pier — no tender, no taxi required.

View Guide

Sint Maarten

Two countries on 37 square miles. Orient Bay, Maho Beach planes, Topper’s Rhum. Multiple great experiences, but not all in one day.

View Guide

St. Barts

The Caribbean's most glamorous tender. Celebrity-watching is free; everything else isn't.

View Guide

St. Croix

The bigger, quieter US Virgin Island. Buck Island snorkeling is the play.

View Guide

St. Kitts & Nevis

Two islands, one stop. Scenic rail, Brimstone Hill, and beaches that don't feel staged. Quieter than the big ports — that's the point.

View Guide

St. Thomas

One of the best ports in the Caribbean when you leave the terminal area. Paradise Point, Magens Bay, or the ferry to St. John.

View Guide

Tortola

The BVI without needing a yacht. The Baths at Virgin Gorda are the trip — time the ferry right and it's unforgettable.
