If you were designing the perfect place to go cruising, some decisions would be easy.

You would want somewhere made up of islands, not too big, so that they could be easily explored.

You might be a little greedy and demand hot sunshine all year round, tempered by soothing trade winds.

And the sea would always be warm, and filled with a rainbow of fish and coral. So that you could see everything, the water would be crystal-clear.

Of course, this place has already been designed. It's called the Caribbean, and its warm embrace awaits you.
