# 🌴 Caribbean cruises

49 ports · 6,321 sailings · Best time: November - April

The most popular cruise region by a wide margin, and for good reason. Sailings are short (3-7 nights), ports are close together, and the water temperature barely drops below 26 degrees C. Every island has its own feel. If you've never cruised before, start here.

## Highlights

- Short flights from most US cities
- Warm enough to swim year-round
- Dozens of reefs within snorkeling distance of port
