Caribbean cruise late deal, 14 nights, £999, Jan 3

Caribbean cruise

Cruisenation.com is offering a Caribbean cruise late deal from £999 per person, saving £700.

You have to book by December 16 for the offer of a full-board P&O cruise on Ventura departing from Barbados on January 3. The price includes flights from Gatwick, Manchester or Birmingham.

This offer is a great start to 2014 and two weeks of Caribbean sun is just what everyone could do with after the busy Christmas and New Year festivities. Ventura sails from Barbados, before heading to St Vincent where you could visit the Arawak Rock Carvings or swim in the Tobago Cays. Next is the “nature island of the Caribbean”, Dominica, with its spectacular and varied flora and fauna, while a stop at St Lucia will give you the opportunity to relax in the hot sulphur springs.

Scuba diving is a must at your next stop Antigua, and the following islands of St Kitts and Grand Turk will give you plenty of time to top up your tan. Tortola, capital of the British Virgin Islands, is your next port of call, where you can explore the Brewer’s Bay Bat Cave, before heading back to Barbados via St Maarten.
