Eastern Caribbean islands are in relatively close proximity, therefore guests can enjoy unique experiences in different countries. For guests who want to relax in the sun, love to shop, and prefer a refined Caribbean experience, an Eastern Caribbean itinerary that visits ports like San Juan, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas (just to name a few) is the perfect option. Western Caribbean destinations are a bit further apart. All Western Caribbean itineraries visit Mexico, a destination known for outdoor adventure, gorgeous coastline, and historical Mayan Ruins. George Town, Grand Cayman and Key West, Florida offers some of the best snorkeling in the world. Southern Caribbean itineraries dive deeper to explore the Lesser Antilles typically by way of the Eastern Caribbean islands. Here, guests find European charm in the tropics. From Barbados and St. Lucia to the Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, the influence of the European colonial era is strong, but the islands Unforgettable maintain their natural beauty. The distance means that often these cruises are longer unless selecting a 7N Destination itinerary departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

  • Climate Risk Profile
    FACT SHEET CLIMATE RISK PROFILE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN REGION OVERVIEW USAID’s development assistance in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean region extends to 10 countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, and Guyana. The high vulnerability to, and potential for, climate impacts throughout the region often drives direct integration of climate risk management into country and regional planning and processes. However, development and capacity levels vary throughout the region, as do the industries central to each economy. Rates of poverty range from as low as 9% in Barbados to as high as 70% in Suriname. For most of the island countries, tourism is the largest industry, though exports most heavily drive EASTERN AND SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN ECOSYSTEMS gross domestic product (GDP) in Trinidad and Tobago (oil and gas; 40%), Guyana (sugar, gold, bauxite, shrimp, timber, and rice; 60%), and Suriname (oil and gold; 65%). Despite varied topography throughout the region, with some islands small and flat and others mountainous, the countries share many climate vulnerabilities and risks. Population and key infrastructure are typically in coastal areas, facing increased risk from tropical storms and sea level rise. Quantity and quality of both surface- and groundwater may be compromised by changing rainfall patterns and sea level rise. Ocean warming and acidification threaten coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs and mangroves. The smaller island countries are most vulnerable to sea level rise and salt water intrusion, and the region’s northern islands are frequently affected by hurricanes and tropical storms, with three significant hurricanes and one tropical storm hitting the region in 2017.
