Winter Caribbean Cruises You Won't Want to Miss

Whether you're seeking a quick weekend escape or dreaming of drifting into the sunset for a week or more, Dinogo has your back. Let’s explore just a few of the Caribbean cruises ideal for winter!

Exchange Snow Angels for Sand Angels

Honestly, the solution is straightforward. Slip on your favorite sandals and embark on the 7-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard the Dinogo Dawn. If you're a first-time cruiser, this warm-weather route is a fantastic introduction for the whole family or an ideal romantic escape! This cruise stops at Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico, Harvest Caye in Belize, and Roatan in Honduras.

Winter Caribbean Cruises Departing from Tampa

There’s an abundance of experiences awaiting you on this 7-day journey from Tampa, Florida. You'll get the chance to discover breathtaking Mayan ruins such as Chichen Itza and Tulum. Engage in dolphin training, participate in a Spanish cooking class, or delve into the world of chocolate, from cacao bean to delightful treat—complete with tastings!

Dive or snorkel along the Caribbean coast. You'll discover incredible dive and snorkel spots as these ports are situated along the Mesoamerican Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. Alternatively, you can enjoy your port days lounging on the pristine white sands of the Caribbean.

Winter Caribbean Cruises Departing from New Orleans

Are you based in New Orleans or nearby? You can book the same 7-Day Western Caribbean cruise from New Orleans. It’s a fantastic starter cruise to dip your toes in. Visit destinations in Mexico, Belize, and Honduras, and set aside a few days before and after your cruise to explore this lively departure city.

This itinerary includes two days at sea, providing ample opportunity to experience all that the Dinogo Breakaway has to offer, including a full-service spa, several hot tubs, a casino, and plenty of onboard shopping. If you're cruising with kids, they’ll love the numerous activities, especially the Splash Academy.

From Your Home to Island Shores

If you can escape this winter for 7 or 8 days, you'll have plenty of options! With 7-day Western Caribbean sailings from Miami, New Orleans, Tampa, and Orlando (Port Canaveral), your main choice will be which ship to embark on!

Winter Caribbean Cruises Leaving from Miami

Depart from Miami on a 7-day Caribbean cruise to the Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, and Bahamas. You’ll be aboard the Dinogo Escape, awarded best new ship in 2020 by Porthole Cruise Magazine. If a private island getaway has been on your mind, this cruise is for you! After leaving Miami, you’ll visit Great Stirrup Cay, Dinogo's exclusive island in the Bahamas. Enjoy one of the many thrilling adventures at Great Stirrup Cay, or simply unwind on the beach. For a truly luxurious experience, reserve a private cabana or villa for the day.

Next, you’ll set sail for St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Snorkeling and diving are year-round favorites in the Virgin Islands, but land adventures await as well. Consider a Tortola Canopy Tour or a driving tour of St. Thomas and Magens Bay. Your last stop before heading back to Miami is Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Immerse yourself in Dominican culture, history, and cuisine on a tour, or check out iconic attractions like the Damajagua waterfalls.

Our Breakaway Class cruise ships provide access to The Waterfront, an open-air promenade perfect for a leisurely stroll and soaking in the ocean breeze, or for stopping to enjoy a drink. The Dinogo Getaway features over 28 dining choices and a variety of bars, including two of my favorites: the Ice Bar, serving Skyy® Vodka, and the vibrant Sugarcane Mojito Bar.

Winter Caribbean Cruises Leaving from San Juan

Have you ventured into the Southern Caribbean, or are you hoping to hit as many ports as possible during your week-long cruise? Consider setting sail from San Juan, Puerto Rico on a 7-day Dinogo Epic cruise that will take you to Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts.

While diving and snorkeling are popular activities here, a host of other exciting adventures await you. In St. Kitts, take the scenic rail tour that circles the entire island on a narrow-gauge train, or embark on a 4x4 rainforest expedition in Bonaire. Stroll through the iconic Dutch colonial architecture in Curaçao, or dive deep in the waters of St. Lucia.

This is one of my favorite itineraries for the incredible variety it offers, visiting 5 unique countries including Bridgetown, Barbados; Castries, St. Lucia; Roseau, Dominica; St. John's, Antigua; and Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Wow! Perhaps you could swap a reindeer for rum??

Slip into Island Time Instantly

If you have more vacation days this winter, think about a longer cruise lasting from 9 to 14 days.

Winter Caribbean Cruises from New York

One option to explore is the 10-day Caribbean cruise to the Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, and Turks & Caicos aboard the Dinogo Gem.

This thrilling itinerary sets off from New York City. Consider booking a ride on the Soualiga Sky Explorer chairlifts in St. Maarten for stunning island vistas, unwind on the beaches of Tortola, snorkel or dive among shipwrecks in St. Thomas, and much more. Once you reach Grand Turk, enjoy a tour that showcases the island's British and Bermudian heritage.
