WHEN THE EXPLORER Christopher Columbus
described Jamaica as the fairest island he had ever
seen, he set the stage for countless millions of visitors who have since been enchanted and captivated by its beauty and charm.

Jamaica has something for everyone. It’s a country
teeming with life and offering a diversity unequalled
by any other Caribbean island. This is what makes
Jamaica such an ideal cruise destination – one
that’s conveniently located on the main shipping
routes of the western Caribbean and one that is
accessible from all major North American home
ports as part of leisurely seven-day or longer itinerary.

Jamaica’s main cruise ports, Montego Bay and
Ocho Rios, are equipped to handle the largest cruise
ships afloat and offer a full range of services and
facilities. Beautiful Port Antonio is an idyllic call for
boutique cruise ships and megayachts.

The history and culture of Jamaica provide a source
of much fascination, from the relics of swash-buckling pirates who made Port Royal their favourite
haunt, to the colourful diversity of the present-day
population – reflecting their ethnic origins in Africa,
Asia and Europe.

No experience of Jamaica would be complete
without tasting the island’s often fiery cuisine or
listening to its world-acclaimed reggae music.
Jamaica is blessed with abundant wildlife,
spectacular trees and flowers. The island’s tour
companies can provide cruise passengers an
exciting array of special activities and excursions.

Jamaica’s past is crammed with tales of
buccaneers, great battles, hidden treasure and
slavery. Today the island that launched a thousand
Caribbean dreams is there to make yours come true,
too. The Jamaican experience is a unique blend of
adventure and delight – one that will live in the
memory long after the visitor has left its shores.
