Christmas In the Caribbean
Caribbean itineraries take travelers to some of the region’s most scenic and spirited locales—each one infused with holiday magic. In St. Thomas, crystal-clear bays and vibrant markets offer a festive welcome in Charlotte Amalie. Terre-de-Haut in Guadeloupe charms with its colorful cottages and relaxed island pace, while Barbados delights with its golden beaches, coastal energy, and deep-rooted rum culture. Fort-de-France in Martinique invites leisurely strolls past patisseries and palm-lined streets lit with seasonal cheer, and in St. Kitts, guests can hike lush trails or paddle along coral reefs. Every destination delivers a unique mix of tropical warmth and celebratory spirit, making for a holiday escape to remember.
