Barbados cruises give you the chance to experience tropical life with a refined twist. With pearly pink sand and a jaunty British lilt, Barbados is one of the Caribbean’s most captivating islands. Whether you’re cruising to or from Barbados, discover a hothouse landscape where old sugar plantations and rum distilleries dot the verdant sun-dappled hills. Or, start your travels here and give yourself more time to get immersed in the local culture while you vacation in Barbados. Spy a green monkey in a rainforest ravine, sample savory local rum, or simply follow the trail of bougainvillea blossoms to a glorious beach with Carnival cruises to Barbados.
- Lounge on luscious pink- and white-sand beaches.
- Explore the sparkling crystals and underground pools in Harrison’s Cave.
- Enjoy a tour and a tipple at the Mount Gay Rum Distillery®.Caribbean & Southern Caribbean cruise, begin your exploration with the capital, Bridgetown. Among the many attractions in this small Caribbean city, pause to admire its many colonial buildings, the Parliament Building and the statue of Lord Nelson in what today is called the National Heroes Square.
- Barbados retains something of a British feel: the place names, the cricket, horse-racing and polo, Anglican parish churches and even a hilly district known as Scotland. But the Britishness can be exaggerated, for this is a distinctly West Indian country, covered by a patchwork of sugarcane fields and dotted with tiny rum shops.
- The Garrison Historic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with magnificent 18th- and 19th-century buildings, is a must-see stop, and features one of the world’s finest collection of cannons. It also includes the George Washington House, where the American patriot spent six weeks of his life.
