Puerto Rico Cruises

Cruise Port

When one says, "Puerto Rico Cruises", one actually means cruises from the San Juan Cruise Port in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico is very appealing and enticing to the "true" vacationer. The island is covered with beautiful beaches and is rich with history. 

Whether visiting San Juan, the capitol, or some other city, you will notice buildings dating back to the days of Spanish colonization.

By comparison, you will also find many modern resorts, casino complexes and huge hotels.

Puerto Rico's visitors also find duty free shopping and quite tasteful island cuisine. 

Traveling To Puerto Rico
Cruise Port

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and its inhabitants are U.S. citizens. Consequently, Americans do not need a passport to travel to and from Puerto Rico.

Cruise passengers from other countries will need a passport and a U.S. visa for entry. 

The island has a handful of major airports and so flying in should not be a problem.

The great availability of Puerto Rico cruises, whether originating from San Juan or some other U.S. Caribbean cruise port, testifies to the fact that cruising out of San Juan and enjoying the beauty of Old San Juan and its surroundings is high on many people's cruising agenda.

I trust that your family will seize the opportunity to enjoy one of many Puerto Rico cruises.

By the way, I have a friend and his wife who sailed out of Puerto Rico last year and they loved it. They drove to Tampa, Florida, (from Marietta, Georgia) to catch a flight (it was cheaper to fly from Tampa than from Atlanta) to San Juan.

However, that did not put a damper on their 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise. My friend's wife told me that she "enjoyed every minute of it."

I know that your family will also enjoy its Puerto Rico cruise.
