What Is a Multi-Centre Caribbean Holiday?


A multi-centre holiday combines two or more destinations into a single trip. In the Caribbean, this can mean:


  • Island hopping – Visit two or three different Caribbean islands, connected by short flights or ferries.
  • City + beach – Combine a stopover in New York, Miami, or Toronto with a Caribbean resort stay.
  • Cruise + resort – Pair a Caribbean cruise with time in a luxury all-inclusive resort.
