Caribbean

See Offers

The Caribbean offers a scattering of beautiful islands that represent one of the world's premier cruising destinations. That's not the only way to discover this vibrant region though, as we also have island-hopping land-based tours for you to choose. The Caribbean is a destination renowned for its glorious white-sand beaches coupled with a passionate culture. With a wide choice of luxury resorts, you could opt for a warm welcome in Jamaica or be greeted by the dazzling beaches of Saint Lucia.

Fred. Holidays will be happy to tailor-make your fly-cruise from Fort Lauderdale, where seven miles of perfect beaches make it the perfect port to extend your holiday on land. Renowned for sun and water sports, the city also offers fine shopping along the River Walk and a perfect jumping-off point for a tour of the Everglades.

In Antigua, you will be able to explore the coral reefs, as well miles of secluded, sandy beaches and coves. On shore and off, Antigua is one of the Caribbean's best islands for spectacular sand-and-sun fun.

The island of St. Lucia has a setting of tranquillity and natural beauty. Thriving coral reefs provide ample snorkelling and diving opportunities, while the mountainous rainforests offer superb hiking and bird watching.

Dominica is an unspoiled Caribbean paradise. The verdant landscape is home to rare birds, including Sisserou and Jacquot parrots. Streams tumble down mountain slopes and thread fertile valleys on their short route to the sea.

Sint Maarten/Saint-Martin has some of the most amazing cuisine in the world, while Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is lined with colourful colonial architecture and historic sites.

Jamaica is a sun-drenched canvas of blue-green mountains, white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. This island nation is one of the most wonderful destinations in all of the Caribbean, where warm breezes blow under cloudless blue skies, fragrant flowers drape rolling hills and cool waters lead to the sea.

Throw in options like Haiti, The British Virgin Islands and Aruba and it's easy to see how a Caribbean holiday offers so much choice and diversity.

Pandaw River Cruises

Sailing on a Pandaw ship is an outdoor, fresh air experience. However comfortable and roomy the staterooms, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above. Unlike most other cruise ships, every window on board (except for the portholes on the lower deck) can be opened and closed to suit your comfort.
