Put the Caribbean on your next vacation plan
And if you can't decide on just one destination, you can cover several while on a Celebrity Cruise.
The Caribbean has multiple highlights to entice tourists. Honduras, St. Maarten, and Costa Maya, Mexico are just some of the many enticing Caribbean destinations tourists love to discover by land and by sea.
Roatan, Honduras:
This island has something for every cruise vacation. The white sand with palm trees providing spots of shade is perfect for the beach lover, while the water can keep any sports enthusiast busy with fishing, snorkeling and some of the best scuba diving opportunities in the world, with a fringing coral reef and bountiful marine life. This island 35 miles north of Honduras has it all, including shopping for island crafts, horseback riding and exploring the tropical scenery.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten:
Combine a little bit of Creole, with a little bit of boardwalk and another little bit of shopping and you've got Philipsburg - a small town that likes to boast of its four parallel streets and mile-long stature. While the island of St. Maarten isn't large, it is full of many activities a family can do while visiting. For example, hiking, biking, windsurfing and kayaking are popular, as are diving, boating and snorkeling. Just make sure you have your international knowledge ready, because the island is only 37 square miles large, but is divided between French and Dutch rule.
Costa Maya, Mexico:
Getting into the tropical jungle and exploring ancient ruins, bird species, monkeys and beautiful tropical flowers is what you can expect with a visit to Costa Maya. Make sure your visit includes a stop at the Sian Ka'an (translated into "where the sky is born") Biosphere Reserve, which is a 1.3 million-acre preserve where you can observe the native species of the jungle in their natural habitat. Another recommended stop is to take a guided tour of the Chacchoben ruins, which have only been open to the public for a few years. This area of Mexico was destroyed by Hurricane Dean in 2007, but has since rebuilt.
One way to explore these unique Caribbean destinations - and many others - is on Celebrity Cruises' award-winning Celebrity Solstice, now sailing year round to both eastern and western Caribbean destinations. While onboard, you can experience activities to suit your interests, whether it's sampling wines from around the world, learning a new language or putting for par on a bed of real, growing grass. It's all part of their new brand platform, "Designed for you."
The cuisine onboard Celebrity Solstice was also a key element to the design of the ultimate experience for guests.
"The culinary offerings onboard Celebrity Solstice put our guests in an immersive, tantalizing environment, like the Grand Epernay Dining Room with the only two-story glass wine tower at sea and gorgeous ocean views. The impeccable service and enticing food in our specialty restaurants take diners to faraway places, from a tour of the Far East at Silk Harvest restaurant to the hills of Italy at Tuscan Grille," says Celebrity's president and CEO Dan Hanrahan. "All of our onboard experiences are designed to provide our guests with colorful memories that they will remember long after they disembark."
For an idyllic Caribbean vacation, consider the exotic destinations of St. Maarten, Honduras or Costa Maya, while enjoying a seven-night cruise on Celebrity Solstice. Visit www.celebritycruises.com for more information.
