CARIBBEAN AND THE ISLANDS OF THE BAHAMAS AND BERMUDA

Blazing sunsets over Technicolor seas, teeming with nearly 700 species of fish flitting among 70 types of vivid coral. Trade winds that skim mountain peaks, breathing softly into lush rainforests. Palms rising out of sparkling white beaches. Ethereal cloud forests that float high above mangrove swamps, cactus scrublands, and vast savannahs.
These are the images travelers to the Caribbean’s over 700 islets, reefs, cays, and more than 30 islands carry with them. However, the beauty of these paradisiacal destinations goes beyond stunning aesthetic; gorgeous landscapes and year-round sunshine are only the beginning of this region’s allure. To get a true picture of the Caribbean, look past what you see and tap into how you feel.
Close your eyes and focus on the sound of steel drums and pounding feet as pulsing reggae, calypso, and other island rhythms echo through the night. Savor what cuisine spooned from a melting pot tastes like—a blend of African, Spanish, Asian, East Indian and European flavors creating a profile all its own. Let the joy and vibrancy of incredible festivals infuse your soul. Escape to a time and place a world away, with elegant hospitality surrounded by colonial architecture on romantic estates, or resorts that provide modern luxury at its finest.
Together, these are the true lasting impressions of the Caribbean— the beautiful, unforgettable moments embedded in your mind and heart forever; an indelible mark from the sweetest of escapes.
