We often get requests for banana boat voyages in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, is available into or out of North America. We are happy to offer such voyages to/from Antwerp. If you like, we will arrange air to and from selected cities to accompany these voyages.

Do you want to experience the fascination of an ocean cruise to the Caribbean islands without any dress obligations and many fellow passengers, too? If so, a holiday in one of the Horn-Linie's snow-white banana boats may be the right choice for you.

Almost every Saturday it's "anchors away" in Antwerp for a refrigerator ship for a five-week dream holiday to the Caribbean.

The voyage starts in Antwerp, continues to Le Havre, Ponta Delgada (not regular call), Pointe A Pitre, Fort De France, Cartagena, Turbo, Puerto Limon, Dover and finally returning to Antwerp.

It has been a good old tradition for more than 80 years to take passengers along with us on long voyages. On board there are six comfortable twin cabins, furnished with a shower, a toilet and an air-conditioning system and all with an impressive view of the sea. A comfortable lounge with a library and bar, a fitness room, a sauna, deck chairs and a swimming pool offer a wide variety of possibilities for relaxing. Enjoy the very special experience of the endless ocean under the sky of the trade winds and spoil yourself in the sun. Anyone who wants to experience everyday maritime life very closely is always a welcome visitor on the bridge.

Meals are prepared fresh every day and then served to you together with the captain in the officers' mess. To make your stay pleasant, there is a steward with his service team to take care of you.

During layover days in ports you have the opportunity to go on interesting excursions and trips to the beach. Feel excitement of seeing picturesque fishing villages and the volcano La Souffriere in Guadaloupe, the lively market in Fort de France or the historical old town of Cartagena. In Costa Rica/Puerto Limon we definitely recommend a boat trip through the tropical rain forest.

Since vaccinations for entry are not prescribed, and a valid passport as a travel document is all that is required for most people, you, too, could be experiencing this adventure soon!
