Eastern Caribbean from Port Canaveral (Orlando), FL

Buckle up for big adventure on the Space Coast when you book a Carnival cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida. Fun in the sun is a mission easily accomplished in Port Canaveral: before or after your cruise, take time to blast off from the Kennedy Space Center, hug the turns in a stock car at the world famous speedway, and zoom through the screaming roller coasters of Orlando's theme parks. In addition to all these man-made thrills, cruises from Port Canaveral depart from a coastline of sugary sand beaches and protected islands for native wildlife.

Explore two colorful nations on one exotic island on one vacation. Split down the middle centuries ago by two European powers, this 37-mile isle offers cosmopolitan culture, international shopping, and world-class cuisine with a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. Cruise to St. Maarten and you’ll find the island’s natural attributes are equally fine: the rugged coastline shelters silky crescents of sand framed by green undulating hills. Enjoy the laidback vibe of the beach or put on your hiking shoes and explore ruins of historic forts. One thing’s for sure — when you cruise to St. Maarten you’ll come home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

Cruises to St. Kitts are a nature-lover’s dream come true, and will wow anyone looking for a laidback Caribbean vacation full of postcard-ready scenery. Rainforests, waterfalls, and lovely crescents of sand aren’t far from the ship on your Carnival cruise to St. Kitts. Cane fields climb the slopes of volcanic peaks, and the ruins of old mills and colonial plantation houses blanket the island. As you’ll find on St. Kitts, there is plenty of action in the form of zip-lining and hiking but at heart, St. Kitts remains a sleepy and charming tropical community. Cruise to St. Kitts to bask in the Caribbean’s sunny geniality and natural splendor.

Discover your own slice of paradise — the white-sand kind — when you sail on cruises to Antigua. Here, legend has it, there’s actually a beach for every day of the year. (Leap years will have to share a little.) When you cruise to Antigua, located right in the heart of the Caribbean, you can’t help but notice relics of the island’s British colonial past — high tea is an afternoon ritual and cricket is the local passion, but this independent nation’s sunny island vibe reigns supreme. Cruises to Antigua are a great way to immerse yourself in all of it — the charming English culture and the irresistible Caribbean sunshine. Best of all? A Carnival cruise to Antigua makes it all a breeze. Got all that, chap?

Not all of St. Thomas' treasures are buried. Most of them are right in the open on this gorgeous island, home of the infamous Bluebeard's Tower. Whether looking for jewels, crystal, perfume and fine wines in the shops of Charlotte Amalie, or soaking up the sun on the incredible beaches, you'll marvel at the wealth of history on this treasure-filled paradise.
