However, some of the most popular Caribbean Cruise Line destinations include beaches and resorts and shopping locations, so Caribbean Cruise Line offers informative articles relating to these interests. We hope your next vacation is memorable and that you find our articles helpful.

Barbados (Caribbean)
This easternmost island of the Caribbean is a natural wonder. Barbados is a former British colony that stretches over a mere 166 square miles, but it encompasses an unusually diverse landscape. The western shore, where most of its resorts are situated, faces the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea. The eastern shore, by contrast, is up against the fierce Atlantic Ocean; here you can see jagged cliffs and taste salty air.

What to Do:
Several companies, such as Island Safari and Adventureland lead safari-style convoys of Land Rovers across the island, taking you through fields of sugar cane and across rolling hills. On the journey, you're likely to catch a glimpse of some of the island's famous green monkeys. These small primates were brought to Barbados back in the days of the pirates, and they are free to roam.

To get an up-close view, visit the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. Think of it as an anti-zoo: most of the animals, including broket deer, peacocks, and tortoises, roam free - it's humans who have to stick to the footpaths. The green monkeys are free to leave the reserve, but they always come back for an afternoon feeding.

The waters that surround Barbados are as rich with life as the land is, and the best way to explore them is by snorkeling. Off the west coast you'll discover coral reefs, brightly colored tropical fish and massive sea turtles. Companies such as Tiami and Cool Runnings offer half-day trips aboard catamarans.

Keep an eye out for pirate treasure from the Atlantis Submarine, which dives to 150 feet below the shore and explores shipwrecks around the island.

Where to Stay:
