Royal Caribbean today began selling cruise holidays to the Caribbean island of St. Vincent - a first for the 42-year-old company.
The line's 2,000-passenger Vision of the Seas will visit the destination as part of new 11-night Southern Caribbean voyages out of Fort Lauderdale scheduled to start December this year.
The trips are among 19 new Caribbean and Panama Canal sailings the line has announced for the ship for the coming winter of 2012-13. Also announced: A series of 10-night Eastern Caribbean voyages that include the line's first calls in Martinique in nearly four years; several other 11-night Southern Caribbean sailings that don't include a stop in St. Vincent; and four Panama Canal sailings that last 14 to 15 nights.
In addition to Martinique, the new Eastern Caribbean cruises include stops in Tortola, St. Maarten, Dominica, Antigua, St. Kitts and St. Croix. The Panama Canal sailings will be one-way between Fort Lauderdale and San Diego.
Based in Europe for the summer, Vision of the Seas will sail to Fort Lauderdale from Southampton, England on Sept. 21 in a 14-night, trans-Atlantic repositioning cruise that includes calls at Gijon and Vigo, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and Ponta Delgada, Azores. It'll return to Europe in April, 2013 with a 13-night, trans-Atlantic cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton that includes calls at Lisbon; Vigo, Spain; and Le Havre, France.
