There's another side to an Atlantis Caribbean Cruise to discover on our all-new Southern Caribbean cruise. An all-gay cruise designed for exploration, enrichment, and camaraderie where exotic islands and original entertainment are the stars. In seven magical nights onboard the reborn Celebrity Summit you'll experience our most pampering and relaxing cruise of the year.

Atlantis' spring Caribbean cruise has always been our most laid-back vacation with a focus on beautiful islands, great entertainment, and good friends. In 2012, we're taking it to a whole new level, as we sail the newly re-vitalized Celebrity Summit for an unforgettable cruise from San Juan to the best of the Southern Caribbean. Our stellar new itinerary features our first-ever calls on Barbados & Grenada, along with visits to seductive St. Barts and ravishing Dominica.

Oh, Those Beaches

When you sail from San Juan, you'll see more of the real Caribbean, where unspoiled beaches offer the gateway to unexpected adventures. Our cruise starts with a relaxing day at sea, followed by our first visit to the island of Grenada, a volcanic treasure of spice plantations and gentle breezes. The spectacularly famous powder-white sands of Barbados await next where British ambience meets Caribbean charm. Lush landscapes of waterfalls and hot springs, along with world-class scuba diving are the highlights of our day in Dominica, one of the most rugged islands you'll ever explore. Finally, we arrive in sophisticated St. Barts for a long stay that lets you explore the islands fantastic beaches, tantalizing dining, and easygoing nightlife.

When you return after a long day of exploring, Celebrity and Atlantis will take care of you in grand style. Take a dip in the outdoor pool, sooth yourself in the AquaSpa pool, or soak in one of our many hot tubs. Get a relaxing massage from our spa pros, or work out in our spectacular gym. Meet friends at the new Martini bar, or celebrate sunset with a sparkling glass of Champagne.
