Southern Caribbean From New York, NY - Carnival Venezia departing 28 Oct 2023

Start your Carnival cruise from the city that defined ‘cosmopolitan’: New York City. This urban island overflows with art and architecture, lively ethnic neighborhoods, designer shops… and the best restaurants in the world, from the ultra-high-end to the comfy neighborhood hole-in-the-wall. The top sights are clustered in Midtown Manhattan — you can easily check out Grand Central Terminal, shop on Fifth Avenue, and see the twinkling lights of Broadway® in Times Square on the same day. As your cruise leaving from New York glides down the Hudson River towards sunny islands or historic New England harbors, you’ll pass metropolitan must-sees, world-renowned icons like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.

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.

Cruises to Dominica are full of nature’s best, and they feature some of the Caribbean’s most vivid waterfalls, hot springs, mountains and streams… all bubbling with life. Thrill to the sweeping grandeur of this verdant island, where wispy clouds swirl around velvety mountains and the air is alive with birdcall. On your Carnival cruise to Dominica, go wild in the lush terrain on a rainforest hike or a go native in a waterfall pool. You’ll spot flora and fauna of every brilliant rainbow color on cruises to Dominica, from the iridescent peacocks in Papillote Gardens to giant ferns along jungle trails.

High tea and cricket in the afternoons remains a tradition on the very British island of Barbados, also called the “Little England” of the Caribbean. The Bajan landscape, with its breathtaking panoramas of oceans and valleys, and endless pink- and white-sand beaches, is one of the most majestic in the Southern Caribbean. Barbados is the perfect setting for snorkeling in turquoise waters, touring historic sites or taking in a round of golf.

Take a walk through St. Lucia’s landscapes of magenta bougainvillea tumbling from mossy peaks, and listen to birdsong filling the air. This is just a slice of island life that awaits on cruises to St. Lucia. With some of the Caribbean’s most dramatic scenery — from the velvety twin peaks of the Pitons to the shimmering white-sand beaches — independent St. Lucia speaks with a decidedly French lilt. Climb green-mantled mountains and snorkel in jade seas on your sun-filled Carnival cruise to St. Lucia.

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.
