  • Destinations in the Caribbean & the Atlantic

  • Aruba has something for everyone: splendid natural wonders, great beaches, a handful of authentically native towns, and a bustling capital city.

  • The Bahamas has so much to offer, from beaches and dive sites to resorts, restaurants, and sightseeing. Oh yeah, it's also a great place to relax.

  • Endless pink- and white-sand beaches and a rich West Indian tradition are what put Barbados on the map, and although it doesn't offer casinos, it has more than just beach life.

  • If you've decided that Bermuda sounds like the perfect place to relax, feel free to start unwinding right now, because we've done all the legwork for you.

  • With its small bays and hidden coves, once havens for pirates such as Blackbeard, the British Virgin Islands are now among the world's loveliest cruising areas.

  • Ringed by coral reefs and pristine azure waters, the three islands that comprise the Cayman Islands are a marine paradise in the western Caribbean.

  • Most visitors have a mental picture of Jamaica before they arrive: its boisterous culture of reggae and Rastafarianism; its white-sand beaches; and its lush foliage, rivers, mountains, and clear waterfalls.

  • White beaches, inexpensive resorts, and natural beauty bring visitors to the Dominican Republic. Columbus even said that "There is no more beautiful island in the world."

  • It's only the size of Connecticut, but Puerto Rico pulsates with more life than any other island in the Caribbean. To the beat of bomba, there's a party going on here 24 hours a day.

  • St. Barts: Two words synonymous with glitz, glamour, and gorgeous beaches. A taste of the French Riviera in the Caribbean, St. Barts is eternally chic.

  • Between the two extremes of St. Croix's coasts are beautiful beaches, rolling hills, pastures, and, increasingly, miles of condos.

  • St. John is a wonder of unspoiled beauty: its rocky coastline are beautiful crescent shaped bays and white sand beaches, and the interior is no less impressive.

  • St. Lucia remains relatively unspoiled, a checkerboard of green-mantled mountains, valleys, wild orchids, and fishing villages.

  • Despite being divided between the Netherlands and France, St. Maarten has gotten a big reputation for restaurants, hotels, and energetic nightlife.

  • St. Thomas, the busiest cruise-ship harbor in the West Indies, is not only the shopping hub of the Caribbean, but is also one of the top destinations for sailing, scuba diving, and fishing.
