Southern Caribbean itineraries are ideal for those who have cruised in the Caribbean before, as the destinations are often less crowded and more "off the beaten track".
Some itineraries will depart from Barbados or Puerto Rico, as the destinations are too far south to depart from the United States. Expect to visit places like St. Vincent, Guadulupe, Grenada, Iles des Saintes, Mayreau Island, Bequila, Curacao, Tobago Cays and St Kitts.
The southern Caribbean is perfect for adventurers, and those who don't mind doing some island hopping. You won't find a Walmart or McDonalds at these ports, and because the islands are less accessible they'll be less crowded with tourists.
Don't expect to do much lying around on a southern Caribbean cruise as there generally isn't much time at sea, but if you're a thrill seeker this is the best itinerary for you.
