Venezuela Cruise Holidays

Home to spectacular landscapes full of waterfalls, mountains, jungles and dramatic coastline, a cruise to Venezuela can offer a range of experiences for the visitor to enjoy, from exhilarating adventure trails, relaxing beach resorts and spectacular nature tours. The country has a vibrant mix of both Latin and Caribbean cultures, and although it attracts fewer visitors than some of its South American neighbours, a Venezuela cruise boasts a rich and colourful atmosphere, with plenty for the adventurous traveller to see and do.  

 

A cruise to Venezuela features a trip to the capital, Caracas, which is a busy and thriving metropolis, and a vast city with its fair share of both rich and poor. Caracas is a commercial centre with an international feel, thanks to the towering skyscrapers that sit downtown, and a rich colonial past, with a cruise to Venezuela offering a host of museums and galleries in which to browse, as well as a vibrant nightlife, dining and entertainment scene. Other places of interest to see on a Venezuela cruise include Angel Falls, the worlds' highest waterfall and one of the country’s major tourist attractions, and the indigenous village of Canaima, which acts as a gateway to the waterfalls. Another popular stop on a Venezuela cruise is Margarita Island, known as the 'Pearl of the Caribbean' and home to stunning white sandy beaches ideal for snorkelling, and bargain duty-free shopping. Also featured on a Venezuela cruise are numerous national parks, journeys down the Orinoco River, treks across the Grand Savannah plains, and adventure trips paragliding, canyoning and hiking.

 

A Venezuela cruise features on both South Caribbean and South American itineraries, with other ports of call including Grenada, Dominica and Trinidad, and the Panama Canal, Costa Rica and Buenos Aires. Companies offering cruises to Venezuela include Holland America, P & O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Windstar.
