The Caribbean

The Caribbean is a vibrant and culturally diverse region located in the Caribbean Sea, comprising over 7,000 islands, archipelagos, and coastal areas. Famous for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush landscapes, the Caribbean is a popular destination for tourists seeking tropical paradises. The Caribbean is also an incredibly popular cruise destination year round. Beyond its natural beauty, the region boasts a rich history shaped by indigenous peoples, European colonization, African influence through the transatlantic slave trade, and later, the impact of Asian and Middle Eastern migration. This cultural amalgamation is reflected in the vibrant music, dance, cuisine, and festivals that characterize the Caribbean. Each island and nation within the region holds a unique identity, contributing to the colorful tapestry of the Caribbean's collective heritage.

Special considerations: Please consult the U.S. Department of State website for travel precautions.
