Cunard, Fred Olsen?
What better way to arrive in the Cayman Islands than on a luxury cruise ship?
Many cruise lines choose to come to Grand Cayman. The first ship, the Atlantis, docked in 1937. Since then, Grand Cayman has become one of the most requested stops in the Caribbean. The ships berth off George Town and passengers take a tender into the port. From there, the Islands are your oyster, with water sports activities, duty free shopping and fabulous beaches all among the attractions on offer.
Some cruises also visit Creek, for visits to Cayman Brac.
Check out the page Cruise ship Passengers for information if you are coming to the Cayman Islands on a cruise.

More cruise ships visit Grand Cayman during the high season (November – April) than during the rest of the year. However, many cruise lines continue to come to the Island throughout the year. You can sometimes find a cruise which more nearly matches your requirements by avoiding the high season.
