From fine dining and spacious staterooms to visits to a private island, clients will experience a Caribbean cruise in style with Holland America Line.

According to CLIA, an impressive 11.3 million cruise passengers travelled to the Caribbean islands last year – an annual increase of 6 per cent. With this ongoing growth, there are now countless cruise itineraries on offer to this part of the world every year, making it almost impossible for clients to choose which Caribbean cruise is the best.

However, if clients are looking for a looking for a sophisticated setting coupled with a culturally immersive experience on their Caribbean cruise, then Holland America Line is the way to go. The perfectly sized, spacious and classically-designed ships that make up the line all feature spacious staterooms and suites, many of which have their own private balcony.

All of the restaurants on board offer gourmet cuisine and fine dining, along with more casual options should guests prefer. To ensure guests’ every whim is catered for, there is nearly one crew member for every two guests on board.

Along with the very best facilities, HAL has made it its mission to offer in-depth destination experiences, so guests can discover the hidden gems of the islands through authentic experiences. These include shore excursions to culturally rich places, such as a fascinating world heritage tour in St Lucia, a photographic expedition in Barbados, or a scenic cruise along the Panama Canal combined with central American countries.

What’s more, HAL’s Caribbean cruise itineraries will always include a visit to its award-winning private island, Half Moon Cay. The 2,400-acre exclusive property has a wildlife sanctuary along with a pristine white sand beach. Guests can enjoy an array of activities, from snorkelling in the beautiful turquoise waters to horseback-riding, or simply sunbathe in one of the private cabanas while children have fun at the water park.

Known as being a leader in 10-night cruises, HAL is offering a Southern Caribbean Seafarer itinerary this November aboard Zuiderdam, travelling to places where the crowds don’t typically go. Departing from Fort Lauderdale, the ship will cruise to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Amber Cove (Dominican Republic), Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba.

For a slightly longer cruise, HAL has an 11-night Caribbean and Panama Canal Sunfarer itinerary aboard Nieuw Amsterdam, departing from Fort Lauderdale and visiting Half Moon Cay, Aruba, Curacao, Cartagena (Colombia), the Panama Canal & Gatun Lake, Colon (Panama) and Puerto Limon (Costa Rica).

Alternatively, for clients only able to get away for a week, the line has a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise holiday departing this autumn and winter, visiting Grand Turk, San Juan (Puerto Rico), St Thomas and Half Moon Cay.

As well as giving passengers a five-star experience, HAL also offers many extras to guarantee great value for money. These include 70 per cent veranda accommodation on the majority of its ships, complimentary hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour on select evenings; complimentary fruit baskets on request; twice daily ice service and bathrobes in all staterooms, and a kids’ and teens club. The line also offers Collectors’ cruises, which combine two shorter cruises into a leisurely holiday, with no repeat calls.
