St Lucia in the winter!

The winter months can really get a person down; from the cold, drizzly months of October and November, to the freezing, snowy months January and February, any thoughts of warm weather are a delight. One of the best times to go on a cruise is during the fall and winter months. While many people choose to take the well-traveled path and go to Mexico or Jamaica, why not think about taking a cruise to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia?

St. Lucia cruises travel through the eastern Caribbean Sea toward the boundary of the Atlantic Ocean to the island of St. Lucia. This island is part of the Lesser Antilles chain and is located south of Martinique and northwest of Barbados. St. Lucia is influenced by African, French and English heritage. Visitors may take advantage of the many cultural festivals that take place on the island.
