Expect to see a new trend in Caribbean cruises in the coming years to develop new lines cruise ports of call. After years of following the same itineraries, cruise lines are seeking new, less crowded destinations.

“Most Caribbean cruises according to one of two ways,” said Paul Motter, CruiseMates Editor, “The typical Western Caribbean itinerary is going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, the rule of the Eastern Caribbean stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten and an island of the Bahamas. “These itineraries

to accumulate a decline in passengers on the same islands.

“Bigger and bigger ships often come to the same ports on the same day the same itineraries,” says Motter. For large

as stops in Charlotte Amalie St.. Thomas, it is not uncommon to have five ships arriving every day in high season, each launch to 3000 passengers in the city.

“Does this make sense?” asks Motter, “Absolutely not. ”

To avoid crowds, some cruise lines are looking for quieter ports of call.

Carnival Cruise Lines recently announced a new route for his vessel for Carnival stops at less visited ports in the Southern Caribbean, including San Cristobal and Santa Lucia.

in the western Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Holland America will stop at the light Guatemalan port of Santo Tomás, which began receiving cruise only four years ago.

But travel experts predict that the next big cruise destination is the Honduran island of Roatan.

“Roatan is beautiful and unspoiled,” says Gary Miller local travel agent TropicalRez, “It is what the rest of the Caribbean was like 20 or 30 years ago.”

In many respects, Roatan is an ideal destination for American travelers. The island offers tropical landscapes, sugar white beaches without the crowds and the first dive.

Already over one third of visitors come via cruise Roatan. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Norwegian Cruise currently stop at the island as part of its Western Caribbean cruise routes.

However, the traffic is still light Caribbean standards. Only nineteen cruise ships stopped at the island during the month of January 2008. That may change in coming years.

Royal Caribbean has signed an agreement to build a $ 30 million extension of the island from the cruise terminal.

Carnival Cruise Lines is spending $ 50 million in its own port of call. To be called Mahogany Bay, the new port will include shops, restaurants and bars and have the capacity to handle up to 7,000 visitors per day.

All of which begs the question, because the cruise lines to look away from the crowds, they will spoil paradise?

“I’m not too worried about that,” Miller said, “I have much less developed than the better known Caribbean islands, take a long time for us to get where are today. “
