Caribbean cruises for 2015: What's on offer?

What's your idea of a dream holiday? If you like the thought of a cruise around the Caribbean, you're in for a treat: 2015 looks set to be the best year ever in terms of cruise offerings to these idyllic isles.

This is one of the world's most beautiful and fascinating areas, and the joy of a cruise is that you get to see so much more than you would on a land-based holiday.

No two islands are alike - but whether you choose an Eastern, Western or Southern itinerary you're guaranteed totally tropical escapism.

The only really problem here is how to choose the best one for you? We've selected some of the best offerings for 2015 to help you. How about starting off the new year with a relaxing 14-night Barbados cruise, for example? Or you could take the whole family on a Disney cruise to remember - at a very reasonable price.

You can also visit as many of Antigua's 365 beaches as you can on a 10-day Princess cruise.

Those in search of an adventurous cruise can go bareback horseriding in the sea, climb Dunn's waterfall in Jamaica or enjoy some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world in Belize.

Here Liz Jarvis, Editor of Cruise International, selects the 10 best Caribbean Cruises for 2015.

Tip: Official hurricane season is June to November - itineraries may change if cruise ships have to re-route.
