BOUTIQUE CRUISING

in the colours and cultures of each captivating island...

Experience the good life and enjoy a blend of discovery, relaxation and exceptional service with a Caribbean cruise holiday. Enjoy dynamic destinations that offer so much more than winter sun or beach-based breaks. The Caribbean epitomises idyllic holidays: white sand, crystal-clear waters, swaying palm trees. But there’s plenty more to see beyond the blissful beachfronts. On your Caribbean cruise you can hike to a volcanic summit, dance to a vibrant street parade, visit the last surviving community of Carib Indians… On a P&O Cruises holiday, you can get to the heart of each colourful island.

Fly to the sunshine in no time

In around 8 and a half hours, you will find yourself in paradise, sipping a mojito in the sun and embarking on a Caribbean adventure. On a chartered flight, once you have checked in your luggage at the airport, we’ll handle everything from there.

Breathtaking beaches

Life doesn’t get much better than when you’re relaxing on the beach with a warm ocean breeze on your skin and the sea lapping at your toes. Arriving in the Caribbean, the first thing you should do is take a deep breath. Close your eyes and picture the perfect beach, and you’ll likely conjure an image of ultramarine waters lapping powdersoft white sand.

Caribbean food

Conch chowder, fried jackfish, tania fritters, soursop ice cream and, of course, rum punch: exotic flavours abound in the Caribbean, and few parts of the world can match it. Found all along North America’s Atlantic seaboard, chowder is somewhere between a soup and a stew. Get a taste of island life with local dishes that’ll tickle your tastebuds.

The city of festivals

Jazz & Blues Festival – July

July swings into action with the Jazz & Blues festival, kicking off with a Mardi Gras event in the Grassmarket. It’s the biggest and best jazz celebration in the country, and whether you like trad, swing, mainstream or the latest in avant garde grooves, you’ll find your feet tapping here

Fringe Festival – August

The Fringe festival started in the very same year as the International festival when eight smaller theatrical companies who weren’t part of the official International festival programme turned up and performed in smaller venues. This freewheeling, anything-goes attitude turned the Fringe into the world’s largest arts festival. All you need to do is wander the streets, pop into a café or bar and you’ll soon be tempted by more incredible shows than you could ever hope to see in one lifetime.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Tattoo is another summer mustsee. Set against the spectacular backdrop of a floodlit Edinburgh Castle, almost a thousand musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers from around the globe perform on the esplanade. This unforgettable spectacle is brought to an emotional and poignant close each evening as a lone piper, high on the castle ramparts, plays a haunting lament, followed by a wonderful fireworks display.
