Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and the Bahamas are just some of the most popular and culturally diverse islands. From the world’s greatest show on earth to the birthplace of rum, there is so much the Caribbean has to offer.

Discover a Kaleidoscope of Colours

Experience Carnival like no other in some of your favourite Caribbean destinations. Celebrate life, love, and unity in colour. Party as one big family.

Jump and gyrate to Soca or Calypso music with a drink in one hand and a flag waving in the other at Crop Over Festival in Barbados. Chip down the road to Steelpan in Trinidad. Discover an array of colours and sounds across 16 islands of the Bahamas on Boxing Day. Sway your feathered costume and bounce your headpieces to the beat of the contagious music with Spicemas in Grenada. Feel the pure Caribbean energy by partaking in this celebration in St. Lucia.

Wait, there is more. Did you know that Trinidad’s Carnival is the greatest show on earth? You heard that right. Tens of thousands around the world flock to the little island annually to celebrate. Experience the Carnival season in Trinidad when the Christmas Season ends with fetes and other events lasting until Ash Wednesday.

Embrace the Caribbean Spirit

Have you ever had Caribbean rum? If not, you are truly missing out on the Caribbean spirit. Try Caribbean Rum, the best rum in the world from Cuba’s Havana Club, Puerto Rico’s Bacardi, Jamaica’s Appleton Estate, Trinidad, and Tobago’s Angostura rums to Guyana’s El Dorado. Embrace the uniqueness of the rum across the Caribbean region. Visit the birthplace of rum, Barbados, to sip some of the world’s best rums, from Foursquare to Mount Gay. Enjoy the distinct flavour and blend of Angostura. Learn how the pot and column stills are used at a distillery in Jamaica. Attend a Rum Festival, like the one in Barbados, to enjoy a diverse Caribbean rum experience.

An Unimaginable World Without Caribbean Music

Discover over 20 genres of music in the Caribbean. Dance to Zouk, Chutney, Extempo, Dancehall, Parang, Bouyon, Bachata, and Dub. Enjoy a mixture of rhythms, melodies, and musical styles. Embrace Bouyon music native to Dominica, which combines Soca, Zouk and other genres. Immerse yourself in the cultural diversity and history of the Dominican Republic with Bachata music. ‘Wine’ to the beat of Jamaica’s Dancehall.

Experience the incredible reggae music of one of history’s greatest artists – Bob Marley. Or visit Jamaica and immerse yourself in other reggae music at Reggae Sumfest or Reggae Sultan. In Trinidad, chip to the magic of an Afro-Caribbean influenced genre – Calypso, from legends like the Mighty Sparrow and Calypso Rose. Or jump and wave to the beat of Soca Music with popular artists like Machel Montano or Kes The Band.
