Port Information 

The Caribbean is a region of The Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.  So, let's set sail and in beautiful locations like the ones below... 

Puerto Plata,
Dominican Republic

Experience the beauty of this major trading port city! With history dating back since the 16th century, you're bound to discover something new. From the Fortaleza San Felipe fortress to the El Faro lighthouse, there's always something to see. Plenty full of savory cuisine, shops, museums, and beautiful beaches.

Charolette Amalie,
 St. Thomas

The popular Capital of the U.S Virgin Islands, named after the Danish queen Charolette Amalie of Hesse-Kassel, is full of activities. Check out Blackbeard's Castle, plenty of beautiful cathedrals such as the Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, and experience Caribbean cuisine mixed with Danish History. 

Philipsburg,
St. Maarten

A wonderful capital of the country of St. Maartin under the Kingdom of the Netherlands, brings the commercial center to the country, with plenty of marketspaces to explore and a popular port. It's even known for having sightings of aircraft landings on beaches near the Princess Juliana International Airport, due to the planes creating a blast of artificial waves on the shore.
