Why Take a Tropical Cruise ?

Article Title:

Article Body:

A tropical cruise in the Caribbean or in the Gulf of 
Mexico is an ideal choice of vacation for couples of 
all ages. Whether you're looking for a short romantic 
break or if you'd like a longer voyage with more time 
to explore tropical islands and soak up the Caribbean 
sunshine, then a tropical cruise is for you.

A tropical cruise can be embarked upon from many ports 
around the U.S. In Florida, the ports of Canaveral, 
Miami and Fort Lauderdale all offer excellent choices 
of tropical cruises, with itineraries varying from 
two and three night cruises to the Bahamas, to 14-day 
cruises around the more exotic parts of the Caribbean. 

Seaports in the States of Louisiana and Texas also 
cater for tropical cruises, with destinations often 
including port stops at Mexico and parts of Central 
America. A tropical cruise can also be commenced from 
more northern ports in the U.S. You need to be prepared 
to spend more time at sea and to take a longer vacation 
though should you choose to depart from somewhere 
like New York. 

There are essentially four tropical cruise routes 
around the Caribbean - the Western Caribbean route, 
Eastern Caribbean route, Southern Caribbean route and 
an exotic Caribbean route that is a combination of 
ports stops taken from the other three routes.

In the Western Caribbean, a tropical cruise will take 
you as far east into the Caribbean as Jamaica and the 
Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman in particular has many 
delights, including white sandy beaches and first-class 
watersports activities. It's a true tropical paradise. 

A tropical cruise to the Eastern Caribbean introduces 
you to the exquisite beaches of Puerto Rico and the 
Virgin Islands. Many cruise itineraries incorporate 
a stop on the island of St Maarten too, where you can 
bask on one of 37 white-sand beaches and be served 
with cocktails all day long!

Tropical cruises around the Southern Caribbean are 
often of a longer duration, and take in many of the 
islands of the Lesser Antilles and Netherlands 
Antilles. The Grenadines and the island of Aruba, 
the latter having 365 beaches, are 'must sees' on a 
tropical cruise of the Southern Caribbean.

For short duration tropical cruises, the Bahamas are 
an excellent choice of destination. Departing from 
Florida, a tropical cruise to the Bahamas can be as 
short as just two nights. Stops at Nassau on the island 
of New Providence and Freeport on Grand Bahama offer 
a tropical paradise that is only some 75kms away from 
the U.S. mainland - perfect if you're looking for a 
romantic weekend away!
