Have you dreamed of visiting a tropical paradise, where the only sounds are the chirping of exotic birds and the lapping of teal water against white sand? Though many of the world’s best beaches are well-kept secrets, we have put together a list just for you of our favorite tropical destinations and the cruise lines that will get you there.

Please enjoy our ‘Editor’s Picks’ of the world’s ‘Top Three Beaches’ and the cruise vacations that will make your dreams a reality. 

3. Trunk Bay – St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

As one of the smallest islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. Our pick, as the No. 3 best beach in the world, is St. John’s Trunk Bay. Lined with coconut palms and local flowering ‘maho’ trees, and with smooth white sand leading to crystal clear water, Trunk Bay is an island oasis that simply cannot be missed.

With Celebrity Cruises, you have the chance for an unforgettable excursion to Trunk Bay while your ship is docked in St. Croix. Right now, America’s Vacation Center customers can enjoy great values on select Caribbean sailings that will have you relaxing on Trunk Bay in no time.

2. Seven-Mile Beach – Grand Cayman

Our top beach picks would not be complete without an island shore that is packed with activity and fun. Our No. 2 pick for the best beaches in the world is Seven-Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. In addition to towering palm trees and enticing clear water, Seven-Mile Beach is sand and surf as far as the eye can see, and there are plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun! In addition to taking in the warmth and gentle breezes, on Seven-Mile Beach you can enjoy all of your favorite water sports from snorkeling to parasailing and everything in between.

For a vacation to Grand Cayman on a ship that is equally entertaining, one of our choices is Royal Caribbean. As an America’s Vacation Center customer, you can receive exclusive reduced pricing on select Royal Caribbean cruises to Grand Cayman, ensuring that a vacation to this gorgeous beach will be at a great value as well.

1. Grand Turk – Turks & Caicos

First discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the Turks & Caicos islands have not ceased to amaze travelers ever since. One of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and our No. 1 pick as the best beach to visit, is Grand Turk. Of the 40 islands that make up Turks & Caicos, Grand Turk is simply breathtaking, and as you set foot on its shore, you will feel as if you are indeed stepping into a dream.

Beneath the crystal blue waters of Grand Turk, there is a mosaic of colorful corals, wildlife, and adventure, perfect for scuba diving. Close-by, the uninhabited Gibb’s Cay will give you a chance to swim with and feed giant stingrays that come right up to the shore. Oceania Cruises is a great way to enjoy a serene and elegant cruise vacation to this exotic location, and America’s Vacation Center customers can enjoy outstanding prices on sailings to Grand Turk.

The island destinations that you have dreamed of really do exist, and though our ‘Top Picks’ is by no means an exhaustive list, these are three beaches that you simply must visit!
