Caribbean and Latin America Cruises
Cruising to the Caribbean is the perfect way to uncover the contrasts of this region in one indulgent escape. As you hop from one island to the other, you could be sipping on authentic Caribbean rum and relaxing on soft sands one day, and uncovering the history of reggae music and the life of Bob Marley the next.
Making the most of every single day on your Caribbean cruise
Tropical islands and rainforests
Our Caribbean and Latin American cruises are designed to take in the varied landscapes of this region, with itineraries including spotting local wildlife in Costa Rica, explore the tropical rainforests of Trois Pitons National Park from Dominica, and discover Tortola's lush landscapes of trees and plants. You will also have the perfect view of St Lucia’s towering volcanic pitons from the decks of your ship as you cruise past this UNESCO-listed site following your call into Castries.
St. Kitts scenic railway
The St. Kitts Scenic Railway, built in the 1920s, is regarded as the "last railway in the West Indies." Originally built to transport sugar cane from the plantations to Basseterre, the island's capital city, the train is now equipped with custom-built double-decker carriages, with the upper deck's carriage open-sided for unrestricted views of the sugar cane fields and surrounding landscapes. While on board the train, you'll have the opportunity to discover the history behind the sugar cane farming process.
Scenic Discoveries - the beauty of Barbados
During your visit to Barbados, enjoy seeing the island from both land and sea - meander through the Tropical Gardens filled with a heady combination of tropical flowers and plants; before heading out on a catamaran to experience the abundance of fish and coral reefs surrounding Bridgetown.
Caribbean Cuisine
In our on board restaurants, you will have the chance to experience tasting regional specialities like jerk chicken. Throughout your cruise, our expert chefs will give cooking demonstrations and teach you how to reproduce classic delicacies; and when you step ashore, take time to enjoy local dishes such as empanadas and arepas in Cartagena de Indias or the local rum of St. Maarten, which is distilled and bottled on the island.
"Experiencing the local culture and history as you hop from island to island made for a perfect cruise, and the sunshine helped too!".

Caribbean and Latin America Cruises
A Fred. Olsen Caribbean cruise offers much more than sun-kissed beaches and rum cocktails. Popular destinations such as Barbados, Antigua and St Maarten are combined with less-visited gems like Guadeloupe, Bequia and Martinique.
