Take Caribbean cruises to discover beautiful Antigua and Barbuda
When you take a Caribbean cruise, you have the opportunity to sail aboard a luxury ship through one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The islands that dot the blue waves have something to offer and holidays to explore them are very popular, with Antigua and Barbuda two worth dropping anchor.
When you head to the dry land of Barbuda, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re stepping onto paradise.
In fact, the island has miles and miles of soft sandy beaches where you can walk for some time without seeing another person.
If you long to simply escape the stress of your typical daily life and relax, then there is no better place to go.
While you’re here, and if you can get away from the coast, you can take a walk to see some of the beautiful lagoons that dot the island or visit the bird sanctuary.
Barbuda is home to a particularly busy colony of frigatebirds and this is one of the few places on the planet where people can admire them up close.
These fascinating winged creatures are hard to miss, with their black plumage contrasting perfectly with the red pouch under their neck.
If wildlife is something that interests you, you may want to continue your time in Barbuda with a stop in its larger neighbor, Antigua.
Just as beautiful, in Antigua you’ll have plenty of opportunities to just relax on the beach under a palm tree here if that’s what you want.
However, if you want to be a little more active, you should take advantage of the diving and snorkeling opportunities.
The island is surrounded by reefs that are home to many colorful tropical fish and spending time exploring beneath the waves is sure to be something you will never forget.
You should also make time to take a walk along Heritage Quay to English Harbour.
Antigua was once a linchpin in Britain’s Caribbean base; in fact, Admiral Horatio Nelson himself dropped anchor here in the late 18th century.
In the capital of Saint John, be sure to sample some of the delicious seafood before heading back to your ship; it will surely be the perfect way to complete your amazing trip.
